1 Safety Precautions
• Servicing shall be carried out only by authorized personnel.
• Only authorized spare parts, accessories and consumables shall be used.
• Only use detergent intended for water-wash of textiles. Never use dry cleaning agents.
• The machine shall be connected with new water hoses. Re-used water hoses must not
be used.
• 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.
• 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.
• If different rated voltages or different rated frequencies (separated by a /) are stated at
the machine data plate, instructions for adjusting the appliance for operation at the re-
quired rated voltage or rated frequency are stated in the installation manual.
• Stationary appliances not fitted with means for disconnection from the supply mains
having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvolt-
age category III, the instructions state that means for disconnection must be incorpo-
rated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• The openings in the base, shall not be obstructed by a carpet.
• Maximum mass of dry cloth: 6 kg.
• A-weighted emission sound pressure level at working stations:
– Wash: <70 dB(A).
– Extraction: <70 dB(A).
• Maximum inlet water pressure: 1000 kPa
• Minimum inlet water pressure: 50 kPa
• Additional requirements for the following countries; AT, BE, BG, HR, CY, CZ, DK, EE,
FI, FR, DE, GR, HU, IS, IE, IT, LV, LT, LU, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, ES, SE, CH,
TR, UK:
– The appliance can be used in public areas.
– This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowl-
edge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the ap-
pliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
• Additional requirements for other countries:
– This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

6User manual
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
– This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
(IEC 60335-2-7) staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments,
farm houses, by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments, bed
and breakfast type environments, areas for communal use in blocks of flats or in
launderettes.
1.1 General safety information
The machine is only intended for water-wash use.
Do not hose down the machine with water.
In order to prevent damage to the electronics (and other parts) that may occur as the result of condensation, the ma-
chine should be placed in room temperature for 24 hours before being used for the first time.
1.2 Commercial use only
The machine/machines covered by this manual is/are made for commercial and industrial use only.
1.3 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 your 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.
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.
The possible postural risks are the interaction with the door handle in case the machine is not placed on a base.
Follow the below recommendations to avoid, as much as possible, operators acquiring bodily injury.
• Place the machine on a base instead of directly on the floor so that the operator does not need to bend his/her
back unnecessarily when loading and unloading.
Minimum suggested height of bases is 300 mm.
• Make sure there are suitable trolleys or baskets for loading, unloading and transportation.
• Organize job rotation in the working place in the case several machines are managed by the same operator.
