It is mandatory to connect the device to proper grounding and have the connection
performed by qualified personnel.
The machine is equipped with a cable that has a yellow/green conductor for grounding
the appliance. This conductor must be connected to the grounding of the electrical
system of the machine.
5. GENERAL WARNINGS
1. Avoid connecting the machine to multiple extensions not suited to its power.
2. Keep children away from the machine, both when the device is on and off.
3. The appliance must be used and left to rest on an indoor flat and stable surface,
at a temperature between +10° ÷ +40°. Do not place it outdoors or expose it to
atmospheric agents.
4. The user must not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
5. Do not bring the appliance near thermolabile or inflammable parts when it is
running.
6. Always switch off the machine using the master switch before disconnecting it
from the mains.
7. Always disconnect the machine from the mains if not used and before any
maintenance and cleaning operation.
8. Keep the power supply cord away from hot surfaces and make sure it is not
crushed by doors or trampled.
9. The machine must be positioned so that there is a distance of no less than 50 cm
between the back wall and the rear side of the machine so as to easily access the
master switch.
10. Place the machine in a well-ventilated area.
11. The machine must rest perfectly on all 4 support feet.
12. Do not open or attempt to force the door to open when the green cycle end light
is off. Opening the door is only possible when the green light is on.
13. Do not look or expose yourself directly to the light produced by UVC lamps as it
may cause damage to your eyes and skin.
14. If a strong odor is detected in the environment when using the machine (a
strong presence of ozone), switch off the power and have the machine checked
by a specialized technician.
15. Contact specialized personnel for the replacement of lamps or ballasts. Lamps
that are not installed correctly or non-genuine lamps can compromise the
operation of the machine and can create hazardous situations.
16. We recommend the use of plastic racks instead of completely metal to avoid
staining the fabrics due to possible oxidation that could form on the clothes rack
(rust).
17. During long periods of inactivity switch off the machine using the master switch.

6. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The machine allows the sanitizing and cleaning of garments such as jackets, trousers,
sweaters, bathrobes, towels, work clothes, motorcycle suits, sports helmets, shoes,
boots but also textiles such as blankets, cushions , curtains, sofa covers ... etc.
The ozone produced by the internal generator, allows cleaning and sanitizing thanks
to its strongly oxidizing natural gas structure. The ozone is able to eliminate bacteria,
molds, fungus, and insects, inactivate viruses and oxidize the chemical molecules
responsible for the most annoying odors that can be eliminated.
The machine is available in three versions:
STANDARD: suitable to be installed in all environments where it is necessary to
perform a sanitizing action on shoes, clothes, etc ...;
SELF WITH CENTRALIZED COIN MECHANISM (CC): suitable for installation in
self-service laundries as it can be connected to a centralized coin mechanism.
The sanitizing program is enabled to reach the established credit;
SELF WITH BUILT-IN COIN MECHANISM (G): suitable for installation in self-
service laundries, where an external centralized coin mechanism is not available. The
machine has a built-in coin mechanism.
The sanitizing program is enabled to reach the established credit.
N.B: both in the “self with centralized coin mechanism”operation and in the “built-in
coin mechanism”mode, at the end of the cycle all additional residual credits are reset.
It is therefore recommended to insert only the credit needed to start the chosen
program.
7. PROGRAM PHASES
The “program”or “sanitizing and cleaning cycle”consists of three phases:
-Phase 1^:ozone is produced to saturate the air inside the cabinet;
-Phase 2^: the ozone-saturated air is circulated by a fan to allow a correct
distribution and sanitizing action on the items to be sanitized, previously inserted;
-Phase 3^: the air, rich in ozone, is circulated through the blaster. Thanks to this
system, the ozone decreases and ensures that the indoor air is not harmful to the
person who opens the door and removes the clothes at the end of the cycle.
At the same time the germicidal lamp inside, keeps the air “clean”.
When the machine door is opened, at the end of the sanitizing and cleaning
program, the detection of a slight typical odor of ozone is to be considered normal.
Opening the door when the program has started is forbidden. During the
sanitizing phase, inside the machine there is an ozone level higher than the
safety level. Wait until the program has finished and the message
“PROGRAM COMPLETED - OPEN THE DOOR”appears on the display or the
green light is on.
THE MACHINE HAS A SAFETY DEVICE THAT PREVENTS OPENING THE DOOR WHEN
THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING.

10. PROGRAM STOP AND DOOR OPENING
You can stop the just started cycle and then allow
the door to open, for whatever reason it is
considered useful.
To stop the machine, press the two buttons
together as shown in the picture; an intermittent
acoustic signal will be emitted for a few seconds.
The message “DOOR UNLOCKED”will be shown
on the display, indicating that the program has
been stopped and the door can be opened.
You can stop the cycle only during the first 10 seconds after starting the program. 10
seconds after starting the program, the function is no longer available, in order to
prevent the door from being opened when the ozone concentration inside the machine
is higher than the safety limit.
11. DOOR OPENING/CLOSING
To open the door of the cabinet:
1. Press the button indicated by the arrow. The door lever will be
automatically released from the seat.
2. Pull the lever towards you to open.
Do not force the opening of the machine door during the execution
of a sanitizing program; always wait for the end of the running
program.
Only when the message “PROGRAM COMPLETED- <OPEN THE
DOOR>”appears on the display it will be possible to open the
cabinet door following the instructions provided above.
The device is designed to prevent opening the door during the execution of a
sanitizing program. If the door can be opened, this means that the door has not been
closed correctly before the program is started or there is a fault in the door safety
lock. In any case, if the machine detects that the door is open it immediately stops
the sanitizing cycle. Check the cause that allowed the door to open before starting the
program again.
To CLOSE the door of the cabinet:
1. Push the door until closing, keeping the lever raised.
2. Push the lever until it is locked in place.
It is recommended to check that the door is always firmly closed
with the lever locked in the closed position, before starting a cycle!

12. ADJUSTABLE SHELF
The machine is equipped with both a pole for hanging
clothes by means of hangers, and a shelf that allows you
to place the objects.
It is possible to position the shelf at the desired height
by moving the support hooks, as shown in the picture.
13. OZONE/BLASTER FAULT
The machine is designed to signal, at the end of the cycle, if there has been a
malfunction in the ozone generator or if the blast cycle has not been carried out
correctly.
If a fault occurs, the machine is blocked and no other sanitizing cycle can be started.
To highlight the problem, the buttons for programs selection remain lit and, according
to the fault, one of the two underlying messages may appear on the display:
“OZONE FAULT!”: the ozone blaster does not function properly. Check and replace
the parts if necessary.
“BLASTER FAULT!”: the blaster lamp or the ballast does not work properly. Check
and replace the parts if necessary.
To reset the machine it is necessary to switch it off and on again using the master
switch, only after having eliminated the cause of the warning.
14. ABNORMAL SHUTDOWN OF THE PROGRAM/NO ELECTRICITY
The machine has a safety system that allows reducing the residual ozone if the
program is not terminated correctly, for example in case of power failure.
Therefore, in the event of power failure, it is recommended to keep the door closed to
allow the correct removal of the residual ozone when the electricity is restored.
As soon as the power is restored, the machine automatically starts an ozone-reducing
cycle. The message “# RESET MACHINE –Close the door and wait… #” appears
on the display.
The reset mode is also visible from the alternating lighting of the short + long and
medium program buttons.
It is sufficient to wait about 10 minutes for the machine to be reset and return to
normal operation.
The end of the reset is signaled by the intermittent acoustic signal and the message
on the display: “PROGRAM COMPLETED– <OPEN THE DOOR>”.
