Caution
All the illustrations in this manual do not necessarily represent your machine, but the action shown is always
compatible with your product!
1.1 Environmental information
Concerned by providing the end user with useful and necessary environmental information, we wish to precise:
• Data about energetic consumptions, wastes (atmospheric and liquid) and sound level are indicated in the para-
graph «Technical characteristics».
• Foreseeing its recycling, this machine is fully dismantable.
• This machine is free from any asbestos.
• In conformity with French regulations.
• In the other countries, we recommend that you comply with the legislation in force in the country where the ma-
chine is installed.
• In France, all owners of packing waste producing a weekly volume below 1100 litres can forward these to the local
collection and treatment department. If exceeding this volume, the owners of packing waste will ensure their valu-
ation by reuse, recycling or, any other action aiming at producing reusable materials or energy... or provide them
contractually to a certified intermediate authorised to transport, trade or broke waste.
Therefore, this forbid:
– land filling raw waste;
– open air burning or incineration without energy collection.
• Packaging of our machines are according with the french legislation related to environment requirements.
For additional information, do not hesitate to consult with our environmental department.
Scrapping of machine
When the machine is no longer to be used, it must be submitted to a recycling facility for destruction.
The majority of the components in the machine can be reused, but it also contains other materials that must be
taken care of in the correct way.
Thererore, never mix the machine or its parts with domestic wa&ste as this may lead to health hazards or dam-
age to the environment.

6Installation manual
1.2 Ergonomics certification
The human body is designed for movement and activity but physical stress injuries as a result of static and repetitive
movements or unfavorable working postures may occur.
The ergonomic features of our product, the ones which may influence your physical and cognitive interaction with it,
have been assessed and certified.
A product which exhibits ergonomic features, in fact, shall fulfil specific ergonomic requirements, belonging to three
different areas: Polytechnic, Biomedical and Psychosocial (usability and satisfaction).
For each of these areas, specific tests with real users have been performed. The product was therefore compliant
with the ergonomic acceptability criteria requested by the standards applied.
The product that you use is specifically studied and tested in order to minimise any physical problems associated to
the interactions with the product.
We would like to point out some operating procedures we suggest to adopt:
- Handle the linen in a balanced way, trying not to arch your back during the loading/unloading.
- Take in/out the laundry in small quantities.
- In order to avoid the entanglement of laundry including large dishes, add more rotation time in each direction.
- If possible, flex your legs and don’t bend forward your back during the placement of the linen in the lower box and
during the achievement of any lower maintenance actions or items.
- If possible, push the tray cart and pull it in order to reduce the distances.
- Keep the viewing distance in order to understand properly the information displayed in the interface or to view you
interest in the ironer, reducing as much as possible the time spent with the eyes up (neck extensions).
In case several machines are managed by the same operator the repetitive movements will increase and as a conse-
quence of this the related biomechanical risk will increase exponentially.
Follow the below recommendations to avoid, as much as possible, operators acquiring bodily injury.
• Make sure there are suitable trolleys or baskets for loading, unloading and transportation.
• We advise you to use a mobile bottom trolley with a maximum height of 850mm.
• Organize job rotation in the working place in the case several machines are managed by the same operator.
