6Installation manual
CAUTION
Before any use, it is compulsory to read the instruction handbook.
Users must have learnt how the machine operates.
This device must not be installed in places accessible to the public.
The machine is only intended for water-wash use.
Do not allow minors to use the machine.
Do not hose down the machine with water.
Only use detergent intended for water-wash of textiles Never use dry cleaning agents.
It is forbidden to wash textiles soaked with solvents.
The machine's door lock must under no circumstances be bypassed.
If the machine develops a fault, this must be reported to the person in charge as soon
as possible. This is important both for your safety and that of others.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
Servicing shall be carried out only by authorized personnel.
Only authorized spare parts shall be used.
When performing service or replacing parts, the power must be disconnected.
When the power is disconnected, the operator must see that the machine is discon-
nected (that the plug is removed and remains removed) from any point to which he has
access. If this is not possible, due to the construction or installation of the machine, a
disconnection with a locking system in the isolated position shall be provided.
In accordance with the wiring rules : mount a multi-pole switch prior to the machine to
facilitate installation and service operations.
In order to prevent damage to the electronics (and other parts) that may occur as the
result of condensation, the machine should be placed in room temperature for 24 hours
before being used for the first time.
In case of a gas heated machine, do not assemble the machine on premises contain-
ing a dry cleaning machines or other similar machines.
Please wash only items offering appropriate distribution inside the drum. Do not wash
items such as mattresses or shoes. Call our technical departments before washing
nonstandard items. Noncompliance with these instructions may void the manufactur-
er's guarantee in case of abuse of the washer-extractor.
CAUTION

Installation manual 7
IMPORTANT
The identification plate is located on the right side near the main switch.
Never use the main switch as an emergency stop. Use it only when the machine does
not work in progress. Instead of that, use the emergency stop buttons in both sides of
the machine.
IMPORTANT
Make sure note to over load the machine. Maximum mass of dry cloth is found in Tech-
nical data.
Sound pressure level is found in Technical data.
IMPORTANT
Never try to open the outer drum door before the complete stop of the cage.
CAUTION
Disconnect all the sources of energy before any intervention on the machine.
The machines comply with the European Directive EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibil-
ity). They have been tested in laboratory and approved as such. It is so prohibited to
add wires or nonshielded electric cables in the cabinets, strands or cables' troughs.
Considering that the volume of the outer drum is superior to 150 litres, the standard
kept for the electric part is the IN 60204.

8Installation manual
CAUTION
With AIDO(Automatic Inner Door Opening) option, Take care of the disc of the opening
system above your head. Risk of cutting with the edge of the disc!!
Take care also of the locking system on your side; risk of cutting with the edge of the
plate!!
CAUTION
When you put your hands into the drum, take care of the edge of the outer drum doors
on yours sides. Risk of cutting with the edge of the metal plate!!
CAUTION
The machine can work without the protective casing when the electric supply is not cut
off.
Interlock the main isolating switch with a padlock.
Close the steam or gas inlet valves.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the machine is not loaded beyond its nominal capacity (see "Specific load"
in the instruction booklet’s technical characteristics).
An excessive load has consequences for the lifetime of the machine’s organs, as
follows:
• Rapid destruction of the suspension elements (springs, shock absorbers);
• Excessive fatigue of motorization elements (engine, belt);
• Rapid reduction of lifetime of drum bearings (rolling bearings);
• Opening and destruction of drum doors and tank doors during oil dehydration.
This is particularly important for your safety and that of others.
The consequence is an immediate cancellation of the warranty.

2 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.

Installation manual 13
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.
Therefore, never mix the machine or its parts with domestic waste as this may lead to health hazards or dam-
age to the environment.
