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

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.

Installation manual 13
Place the machine over the two drilled holes. The holes are at the front of the machine.
Level the machine with the feet of the machine. Screw in the feet as much as possible before starting to level the ma-
chine. This will make the machine stand steadier.
Insert the expansion bolts supplied into the holes drilled in the floor. Fit the washers and nuts and tighten well.
It is of the upmost importance that the machine is placed in level, from side to side as well as front to rear.
5 Water connection
All water intake connections to the machine should be fitted with manual shut-off valves and filters, to facilitate instal-
lation and servicing.
Water pipes and hoses should be flushed clean before installation.
The machine shall be connected with new water hoses. Re-used water hoses must not be used.
Hoses are to be of an approved type and grade and comply with IEC 61770.
After installation hoses must hang in gentle arcs.
All connectors present on the machine must be connected. The table shows the possible connection options, which
will depend on the water types to be connected to the machine. Information is also available on the panel above the
connections.

6 Drain connection
Drain valve
Connect a 75 mm (alt. 50 mm) pipe or rubber hose to the machine’s drain pipe, ensuring a downward flow from the
machine. Avoid sharp bends which may prevent proper draining.
The drainage pipe should be located over a floor drain, drainage channel or the like so that the distance between the
outlet and the drain is at least 25 mm.
fig.5330
Drain pump
The drainage pipe should be located over a floor drain, drainage channel or the like.
The highest part of the drain hose shall be positioned according to the figure.
Make sure there is no kinks in the hose.

7 Electrical connection
7.1 Electrical installation
The electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Machines with frequency-controlled motors can be incompatible with certain types of earth leakage circuit break-
er. It is important to know that the machines are designed to provide a high level of personal safety, which is why
items of external equipment such as earth leakage circuit breakers are not necessary but is recommended. If you
still want to connect your machine across an earth leakage circuit breaker, please remember the following:
• contact a skilled, authorised installation company to ensure that the appropriate type of breaker is chosen and
that the dimensioning is correct
• for maximum reliability, connect only one machine per earth leakage circuit breaker
• it is important that the earth wire is properly connected.
In accordance with the wiring rules: mount a multi-pole switch prior to the machine to facilitate installation and service
operations.
The connecting cable shall hang in a gentle curve.
