The Danger from Flammable Materials
WARNING 11 : Fire Hazard
—Never place items containing gasoline or other flammable
fluids in machine.
Washer-extractors are
not
designed to handle flammable materials. This includes goods
containing flammable substances as well as flammable cleaning materials such as solvents. In
either case, highly flammable vapors can be given off, especially when the material is heated.
Any source of spark or flame, such as the machine's motor, can then ignite the vapors, resulting in
fire or explosion. Additionally, washing with water and detergent may not fully remove
flammable materials from the goods, posing a severe risk of fire when those goods are placed in a
dryer.

iv. Daily Test of Door Interlock
The C_E door interlock is designed to lock the door after the machine has been running 60
seconds with the door closed. Test this vital safety mechanism daily to verify that it is functioning
properly.
Notice 12 : Daily test of coin counter not required.
—This test, referred to in safety
placards used on some older coin-operated models, is not required on current C_E models.
Current models require only the daily door interlock test.
CAUTION 13 : Scald Hazards
—Contact with hot bath liquor can scald you.
• During the following test, hold the door firmly closed as shown in Figure 3 to prevent the
door from springing open if the latch retracts during this test.
Figure 3: Hold Door Shut when Testing the Door Latch Interlock
Verify the door locks as follows:
1. Permit the wash program to progress for 90 seconds, but not much longer.
2. Holding the door closed, attempt to depress the door latch handle.
a. If the latch retracts (if the door unlocks),
remove the machine from service until the
problem is identified and corrected.
b. If the latch does
not
retract (if the door is locked), and assuming no other evidence of
safety problems exists, return the machine to normal operation.
