6Installation manual
CAUTION
Before any use, it is compulsory to read the instruction handbook.
Users must have learnt how the machine operates.
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 ma-
chine is disconnected (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 containing 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 techni-
cal departments before washing nonstandard items. Noncompliance

Never try to open the outer drum door before the complete stop of the
cage.

8Installation manual
CAUTION
Disconnect all the sources of energy before any intervention on the
machine.
The machines comply with the European Directive EMC (Electromag-
netic Compatibility). They have been tested in laboratory and ap-
proved 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.
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.

Installation manual 9
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.
THINK OF THE ENVIRONMENT!
The use and handling of chemical products such as detergent, chlor-
ine, acids, descaling agents, etc may create hazards for health and en-
vironment ; the following precautions should be taken:
• Do not breathe the dusts or steam;
• Avoid contact with skin or eyes (may cause burns);
• In case of important spillage, wear a protecting mask, gloves, and
eye protectors;
• Handle with care;
• Consult the use and first aid advice on the packing;
• Do not dispose pure products in the environment.

10 Installation manual

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:
– Law No. 76-663 of July 19th 1976;
– Decree No. 77-1133 of September 21st 1977;

– The decree of 29th December 1993;
– The decree of 28th December 1999;
– No. 2311 of the nomenclature for classified installations.
Commercial linen cleaning laundries and launderettes are subject to:
– prefectural authorisation if the washing capacity exceeds five tonnes per day,
– a declaration to the prefecture if the washing capacity exceeds 500 kilos per day but is below or equal to five
tonnes per day.
• In application of the Law of 15 July 1975 and the decrees of 01 April and 13 July 1994 on the disposal of industrial
and commercial packing waste «All owners of packing waste producing a weekly volume below 1100 litres can for-
ward these to the local collection and treatment department. If exceeding this volume, the owners of packing
waste will ensure their valuation 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».

the machine.
Put the main switch to Off
and lock the handle with a
padlock in one of the
three holes provided for
this purpose.
Close the stop valves for
the other supplies (steam,
gas, thermal fluid, com-
pressed air) to stop and
lock their handle with a
padlock.
Open the fixed protectors
(casings, doors) with the
key provided or a special
tool.
Do the maintenance.
Close and carefully lock the fixed protectors.
Unlock the stop valves and the main switch.

14 Installation manual
4 Handling
Important
It is obligatory that all these operations are undertaken by handling specialists.
Before any handling, check that the four transport locks fitted are still in place and well-tightened.
To do so, remove the front and rear casings and check presence of four locks (B).
4.1 Lifting with a fork-lift truck
Warning
You should never handle the machine in its longitudinal side (any other than shown on the drawing below) with a
fork-lift truck. Important risk of parts deterioration for those fixed under the machine.
This can be carried out from the front or back, at the centre of the machine.
4.2 Lifting with handlings straps
Lifting in that case can only be done with handling straps (minimum capacity 1000 daN / 2200 lb) which bear weight
of the machine.
Remove the top cover and pass the straps in the lifting holes.

Installation manual 15
Caution
Make sure to place the straps correctly to avoid any bending of parts of the machine.
Caution
In order to avoid any bending of casings, you should never climb and stand on top of the machine.
