A.4 General safety rules
Protection devices installed on the machine
• The guards on the machine are:
fixed guards (e.g. casings, covers, side panels, etc.), fixed to the machine and/or frame
with screws or quick-release connectors that can only be removed or opened with tools.
Therefore the user must not remove or tamper with such devices. The Manufacturer
declines any liability for damage due to tampering or their non-use.
Instructions for use and maintenance
• Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical nature exist in the machine. Where
possible the risks have been neutralised:
– directly, by means of adequate design solutions.
– indirectly by using guards, protection and safety devices.
• During maintenance, always carried out by personnel qualified, several risks remain, as
these could not be eliminated, and must be neutralised by adopting specific measures
and precautions.
• Do not carry out any checking, cleaning, repair or maintenance operations on moving
parts. Workers must be informed of this prohibition by means of clearly visible signs.
• To guarantee machine efficiency and correct operation, periodical maintenance must be
carried out according to the instructions given in this manual.
• Make sure to periodically check correct operation of all the safety devices and the
insulation of electrical cables, which must be replaced if damaged.
• Repair and extraordinary Maintenance have to be carried out by specialised authorised
personnel provided with all the appropriate personal protection equipment, tools,
utensils and ancillary means.

8
• Never operate the machine, removing, modifying or tampering with the guards,
protection or safety devices.
• Before carrying out any operation on the machine, always consult the manual which
gives the correct procedures and contains important information on safety.
Residual risks
• The machine has several risks that were not completely eliminated from a design
standpoint or with the installation of adequate protection devices. Nevertheless, through
this manual the Manufacturer has taken steps to inform operators of such risks, carefully
indicating the personal protection equipment to be used by them. In order to reduce the
risks, provide for sufficient spaces while installing the unit.
To preserve these conditions, the areas around the machine must always be:
– kept free of obstacles (e.g. ladders, tools, containers, boxes, etc.);
– clean and dry;
– well lit.
For the Customer's complete information, the residual risks remaining on the machine
are indicated below: such situations are deemed improper and therefore strictly
forbidden.
Residual risk Description of hazardous situation
Slipping or falling The operator can slip due to water or dirt on the
floor
Burns/abrasions (e.g. heating
elements)
The operator deliberately or unintentionally
touches some components inside the machine
without using protective gloves
Electrocution Contact with live parts during maintenance
operations carried out with the electrical panel
powered
Sudden closing of the lid/door/
oven door (if present, depending
on the appliance type)
The operator for normal machine use could
suddenly and deliberately close the lid/door/oven
door (if present, depending on the appliance type)
Tipping of loads When handling the machine or the packing
containing it, using unsuitable lifting systems or
accessories or with the unbalanced load
Mechanical safety characteristics, hazards
• The appliance does not have sharp edges or protruding parts. The guards for the
moving and live parts are fixed to the cabinet with screws, to prevent accidental access.
CAUTION
In case of a significant anomaly (e.g. short circuits, wires coming out of the
terminal block, motor breakdowns, worn electrical cable sheathing, smell of
gas indicating possible leakage, etc.) the operator must:
immediately deactivate the machine and disconnect all the supplies
(electricity, gas, water).

the appliance data plate.
• Work on the electrical systems must only be carried out by specialised personnel.
• Connection to the power supply must be carried out in compliance with the regulations
and provisions in force in the country of use; arrange a suitable high-sensitivity manual-
reset differential omnipolar thermal-magnetic switch with contact gap enabling complete
disconnection in category III overvoltage conditions.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the Customer Care Service or in
any case by specialised personnel, in order to prevent any risk.
• Verify that a safety circuit breaker is installed between the power cable of the appliance
and the mains electric line. The contact opening max. distance and leakage current
must comply with the local safety regulations.
• Be sure to power the equipment with systems that are protected against overvoltage;
the manufacturer declines all responsibility for effects due to anomalies induced by the
electrical supply system.
A.9 Machine space limits
• A suitable space must be left around the appliance (for operations, maintenance, etc.).
