and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,
are found in this manual and on machine decals. These
precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the
machine.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing
information that is important but not hazard
related.
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is
moving.

Safe Operating Environment
Safe operation requires an appropriate operating
environment for both the operator and the machine. If
questions regarding safety arise, contact the factory
immediately.
Environmental Conditions
●Ambient Temperature.Water in the machine
will freeze at temperatures of
32° F or below.
Temperatures above 120° F (50° C) will result in
more frequent motor overheating and, in some
cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid
state devices that are used in some models.
Special cooling devices may be necessary.
Water pressure switches are affected by increases
and decreases in temperature. Every 25° F (10°
C) change in temperature will have a 1% effect
on the water level.
●Humidity. Relative humidity above 90% may
cause the machine’s electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip the ground fault
interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on
some metal components in the machine.
If the relative humidity is below 30%, belts and
rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot.
This condition can result in hose leaks, which
may cause safety hazards external to the machine
in conjunction with adjacent electrical
equipment.
●Ventilation. The need for make-up air openings
for such laundry room accessories as dryers,
ironers, water heaters, etc., must be evaluated
periodically. Louvers, screens, or other
separating devices may reduce the available air
opening significantly.
●Elevation.If the machine is to be operated at
elevations of over 3,280 feet (1,000 meters)
above sea level, pay special attention to water
levels and electronic settings (particularly
temperature) or desired results may not be
achieved.
●Chemicals. Keep stainless steel surfaces free of
chemical residues.
NEVER insert hands or objects into
basket until it has completely stopped.
Doing so could result in serious injury.
SW012
WARNING
Never operate the machine with a
bypassed or disconnected balance
system. Operating the machine with
severe out-of-balance loads could result
in personal injury and serious equipment
damage.
SW039

●Water Damage.Do not spray the machine with
water. Short circuiting and serious damage may
result. Repair immediately
all seepage due to worn or damaged
gaskets, etc.
Machine Location
●Foundation. The concrete floor must be of
sufficient strength and thickness to handle the
floor loads generated by the high extract speeds
of the machine.
●Service/Maintenance Space.Provide
sufficient space to allow comfortable
performance of service procedures and routine
preventive maintenance.
This is especially important in connection with
machines equipped with an AC inverter drive.
Consult installation instructions for specific details.
Input and Output Services
●Water Pressure. Best performance will be
realized if water is provided at a pressure of
30–85 psi (2.0–5.7 bar). Although the machine
will function properly at lower pressure,
increased fill times will occur. Water pressure
higher than 100 psi (6.7 bar) may result in
damage to machine plumbing. Component
failure(s) and personal injury could result.
●Steam Heat (Optional) Pressure.Best
performance will be realized if steam is provided
at a pressure of 30–80 psi (2.0–5.4 bar). Steam
pressure higher than 125 psi (8.5 bar) may result
in damage to steam components and may cause
personal injury.
For machines equipped with optional steam heat,
install piping in accordance with approved
commercial steam practices. Failure to install the
supplied steam filter may void the warranty.
●Compressed Air. For machines requiring
compressed air service, best performance will be
realized if air is provided at a pressure of 80–100
psi (5.4–6.7 bar).
●Drainage System.Provide drain lines or
troughs large enough to accommodate the total
number of gallons that could be dumped if all
machines on the site drained at the same time
from the highest attainable level. If troughs are
used, they should be covered to support light foot
traffic.
●Power. For personal safety and for proper
operation, the machine must be grounded in
accordance with state and local codes. The
ground connection must be to a proven earth
ground, not to conduit or water pipes. Do not use
fuses in place of the circuit breaker. An easy-
access cutoff switch should also be provided.
Always disconnect power and water supplies before a
service technician performs any service procedure.
Where applicable, steam and/or compressed air
supplies should also be disconnected before service is
performed.
Do not place volatile or flammable fluids
in any machine. Do not clean the machine
with volatile or flammable fluids such as
acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel
reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
benzene, naptha, etc. Doing so could
result in serious personal injury and/or
damage to the machine.
SW002
WARNING
Replace all panels that are removed to
perform service and maintenance
procedures. Do not operate the machine
with missing guards or with broken or
missing parts. Do not bypass any safety
devices.
SW019
CAUTION Dangerous voltages are present in the
electrical control box(es) and at the motor
terminals. Only qualified personnel

Machine Familiarization Guide
The machine familiarization guide in Figure 3
identifies major operational features of the UWP
washer/extractor.
Figure 3
Theory Of Operation
The design of the washer-extractor emphasizes
performance reliability and long service life. The
cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of
stainless steel.
Electrical controls for the washer-extractor are housed
in a separate enclosure located on the top of the
machine. Removing the screws from the module
cover, lifting the cover, and pulling to the rear provides
access to the control module. This module contains the
WE-6 microcomputer, contactors, water-level switch,
and other control components.
One dual-speed motor drives the cylinder via a V-belt
drive in both speeds for the 2-speed models. Two
motors drive the cylinder for the 3-speed models. The
UW35 uses two ball bearings held in place by a single
cast-iron housing that is bolted to the A-frame. The
UW60 uses two flange-mounted, spherical roller
bearings bolted to the A-frame.

F232090 © Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC – DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
The cylinder is constructed with lifters or ribs that lift
the laundry from the bath solution when the cylinder
rotates at slow speed and then allow the laundry to
tumble back into the bath. This mechanical action
accomplishes the washing function. The cylinder is
perforated, allowing the water to drain from within
during the wash and extract steps.
The spray rinse feature consists of a fiber-reinforced
clear hose connected to the center of the door glass and
to both a hot and cold water inlet valve. A
hemispherically-shaped spray nozzle inside the door
glass produces a fan-action water spray which
disperses rinse water throughout the load.
The operator can select from among 39
preprogrammed cycles.
Programmable custom cycles are another feature of
the UWP.
On the UW60, a balance switch is installed between
the faces of the A-frame to signal the controls to slow
the machine when a severely out-of-balance load
occurs during extract.
Water enters the washer-extractor through
electromechanical water valves controlled by the
microcomputer. The microcomputer also controls the
drain and the door lock. In addition, it selects the water
levels according to the programmed cycle. Vacuum
breakers are installed in the water-inlet plumbing to
prevent backflow of water.
The standard production UWP uses a single drain
valve. (Dual drains are available as an option. The dual
drains open and close together under control of the
WE-6 computer.) The drain valve is normally open,
which means that it closes only when power is applied,
thus allowing the machine to drain in the event of a
power failure.
A door-lock system prevents opening of the stainless
steel door when a cycle is in progress. It also prevents
operation of the washer-extractor when the door is
open. The doorbox contains the door-lock
microswitch, door-closed magnetic switch, and the
door unlock solenoid.
The UW35 shaft seal assembly includes two lip seals
integrated into the cast-iron bearing housing. Each seal
has two lips which make contact with a polished
stainless steel bushing mounted to the shaft.
The UW60 shaft seal assembly includes a brass collar
held in place on the cylinder shaft with set screws. The
collar has a flange with a ceramic ring which makes
contact with a spring-loaded phenolic face seal
enclosed in a nylon housing mounted on the rear of the
shell. The collar contains two internal O rings which
maintain contact with the cylinder shaft.
The polypropylene supply dispenser is mounted on the
right side of the washer-extractor, viewed from the
front. The dispenser has five supply compartments,
numbered 1–5, starting from the rear of the machine.
The compartments hold plastic supply cups that are
used for either liquid or dry supplies. A nozzle flushes
supplies from the cups with water for the time
programmed in the cycle.
Liquid supplies can be injected directly into the cups
by a customer-supplied external chemical supply
system. Five hose strain reliefs on top of the supply
dispenser facilitate connection to an external supply
system. A terminal strip inside a compartment
attached to the left side of the control module, viewed
from the rear of the washer-extractor, provides
connection points for external supply signals.
Emergency Stop Button
A red emergency stop button is located on the upper
right-hand corner of the control panel. Push the button
in to stop the washer-extractor. Turn button to the left
and pull out to reset.

WE-6 Microcomputer
The WE-6 microcomputer control is a field-
programmable solid-state control capable of storing
and running up to 39 preprogrammed ready-to-use
cycles. A detailed description of these cycles can be
found in the Programming section of this manual
under Individual Cycle Charts. (If this machine’s
computer has been equipped with special
preprogrammed cycles, a separate insert listing these
cycles has been included in the resealable plastic bag
which contained this manual.)
Never turn the power off while the computer mode
switch is in the PROGRAM position. Such action will
disorder portions of the programmed data,
necessitating reprogramming of some or all of the
existing cycles. Always return the mode switch to
RUN position before turning the power off.Never
leave the mode switch key inserted in the switch lock
where it may be accessible to unauthorized personnel
not familiar with programming procedures.
The computer control in this washer-extractor is
continuously on the alert for problems within the
machine. When the computer detects a problem, it
immediately flashes a letter or number or both on the
display. It may activate the signal buzzer as well.
LED Display
The WE-6 microcomputer has a six-digit LED display.
References to display indications pertain to the first
four digits of the display reading left to right. The last
two digits on the right side of the display will indicate
either the last cycle used or the current cycle in
progress. See Figure 4.

Located to the left of the computer keyboard are 20
LED indicator lights for the computer outputs. During
the time that a cycle is running, one or more of these
lights will be on to indicate the outputs activated for a
particular step. See Figure 5.

Start-up
Turn on the main power source (circuit breaker or cut-
off switch on the wall).
When AC power is turned on, the display will show
the program (ROM) identification code.
This identification code will appear for approximately
five seconds. Then the computer display will flash
“POWER” and “WAIT” alternately for 30 seconds.
The display will then show “NEXT00” to indicate that
a cycle can be selected. This display will be shown at
all times that power is on between cycles, indicating
that the door-unlock solenoid will function if the door-
unlock button is pressed. The washer-extractor is then
ready for loading and unloading.
