machine is located a long distance from the water main, it may be necessary to supply a larger
line to the machine to insure proper water pressure and flow for the machine to operate
correctly.
Step 6 STEAM VENT:
The machine is equipped with a collar for 6” duct work as shown on the
drawings. This duct should be directly vented to the outside of the building. DO NOT vent
into a wall, attic, or any other concealed space of the building, and avoid horizontal runs of
duct.
The factory recommends 6” plastic pipe or stainless steel duct for the vent. If stainless steel is
used, the duct work should be installed with reverse joints so that the condensate inside the
vent can drain back into the machine without leaking, and all seams should be sealed with
silicone sealant.
Generally, the machine will ship with fractional hp inline fan option. This fan should be
mounted and sealed with silicone directly into the two adapters sent with the fan with the side
with the fan blade pointing up, and the adapter into the flange on the top of the machine before
the ductwork is installed. The longer 12” adaptor should be placed between the machine and
the fan, with the shorter 3” adaptor placed into the discharge side of the fan. The fan is
powered from the control circuit. Wire is provided to connect the fan to the two terminals
marked “FAN”
The fan is designed to run at two different speeds. The lower speed is to remove excess steam
from the machine during the wash cycle, which is determined by the speed control located
inside the panel. The speed control should be set so that it just removes any steam coming
from around the door when the machine is running fully loaded. The higher speed is
controlled by a timer and runs at the end of each cycle and when the door to the machine is
open.
Note: Consult the factory before connecting any fan not supplied with the machine.
While the machine is designed to be directly connected to a vent, local or state codes may
require a hood to be installed. Always check the local regulations prior to installing the vent.
Step 7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
The electrical connection to the machine should be made
by a qualified electrician. All steps should be taken to insure that the supply voltage to the
machine is the same as the rated voltage of the machine. Also, check that sufficient amperage
is supplied to the machine (see specifications page for ratings).
A main power shut-off, supplied by the customer, must be installed near the machine in a
place easily accessible by anyone operating or servicing the machine. The line from the main
