Attention!
• In the event hot water or soft cold water is not available, provide one
or two T-connections to always supply all the inlets of the appliance.
4.6.2 WATER CONNECTION
Attention!
• Do not connect the water inlets with rigid pipes.
• Use the supplied pipes only.
• Rigid pipes can cause problems due to the vibrations generated by the
appliance during normal operation.
• The water supply connections of the appliances are made of plastic.
Follow the procedure below to tighten the hose ring-nut correctly.
{ Manually tighten the nut until it locks.
{ Make a quarter turn with a xed spanner.
• At the end of the assembly operation, make sure that there are no
bottlenecks or crushed parts in the used pipes.

Appliances with steam heating have an M ¾” threaded inlet specic for dry saturated steam.
In the event the appliance is requested with indirect steam heating, there is an M ¾” threaded connection
for the collection/recovery of condensation.
The inlet steam pressure must range between 50Kpa and 600KPa.
Refer to the gures found in the last pages of the manual for the steam inlets and condensate collection.
Attention!
• To check the tightening of the ring nuts of the load pipes and of the
lters (where provided), open the water gate valve slowly and check
for the presence of water leaks.
• Should leaks be detected, close the ring nut and check again.
4.6.3 STEAM AND CONDENSATE CONNECTION (ONLY FOR APPLIANCES WITH
STEAM HEATING)
To obtain optimal performance, pressure should range between 400KPa and 600KPa.
Attention!
• Contact the manufacturer or the area dealer for pressures higher than
the values indicated.
• Cover the provided steam inlet hose and/or the condensate outlet
hose with the teon sheath supplied in order to prevent the operator
from coming into contact with the steam and condensate hoses, which
are normally very hot and can cause burns.
• Use material capable of resisting both the supply pressure (max
600KPa) and to a temperature of 170°C to install the steam intake
pipes and the condensate recovery. The manufacturer is not liable for
failure to comply with these parameters.
• At the end of the assembly operation, make sure that there are no
bottlenecks in the pipes used.
Provide both the connections (steam and condensate optional outlet) with two gate valves to disconnect
the appliance in the event of maintenance or failure.
Insert the provided F/F ¾“ threaded lter between the steam gate valve and the appliance inlet. This l-
ter stops the impurities and must be cleaned at least on a monthly basis. In the event the steam distribu-
tion system is new, it is likely that the mechanical lter needs to be cleaned even on a daily basis during
the rst days of operation.
If the steam appliance is subject to inspections by local or national bodies (ISPESL for Italy), always have
the relative documentation available in the locations in which the appliance is installed.

The appliances are equipped with a connection for the pipe for the water drained during the washing
process. A 3” elbow-joint and two metal strips are also provided to connect the appliance discharge to the
sewer collection service. Refer to the gure to identify the drain pipe tting.
Make sure that the distance between the appliance drain connection and the oor drain is not greater than
the supplied elbow-joint length.
Water is drained via a motorised valve, which remains open if no voltage is available.
Some special versions are equipped with a second drain to recover the water of some washing phases.
Follow the special instructions provided with the special version.
4.6.4 DISCHARGE PIPE CONNECTION
Earthing techniques.
There are different types of earth systems on the market, but for all systems, the objectives are identical:
• Limit the potential of the active wires compared to the earth in normal operating mode.
• In the event of an isolation defect, limit the voltages between the masses and the earth.
• Allow the intervention of the protection devices in order to eliminate the earth fault.
• Limit the raising of the potential due to faults resulting from the medium voltage network.
• Limit the raising of the potential when the atmospheric discharge affects the installation or the
power supply network.
Some examples.
Attention!
• The drain duct must always be lower than the appliance outlet and
its diameter must not be lower than that of the supply pipe.
• The drain duct must resist temperatures of 90 °C.
• Place a syphon between the provided pipe and the drain duct.
• Make sure there are no bottlenecks.
Attention!
• Installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer's
instructions by qualied and certied personnel, in compliance
with Standards in force regarding electric systems both at national
and local level.
• Incorrect installation can cause injury to persons and animals and
damage to objects and the environment in general, for which the
manufacturer is not liable.
