7. INDICATIONS ON SOUND EMISSION
The airborne noise produced by the machine produces an A-weighted continuous sound pressure level of less
than 72 dB.
8. FIXING TO THE GROUND
Suspended super-fire-aging machines with a capacity of up to 32 kg does not need to be fixed to the ground.
They are supplied with rubber feet that must be screwed to the relative threaded holes on the base.
Poor adjustment of such feet can give rise to strong vibrations of the external structures of the machine. The
machine must therefore be perfectly installed in a bubble on a floor that has no elastic reaction.
Suspended super centrifuge machines with capacities from 30 kg upwards, must instead be fixed to the ground
with dowels through the through holes in the bases. Machines must be installed perfectly in a bubble on a floor that
has no elastic reaction.

E190601X rev.6_ENG May 30, 2022

ATTENTION!
It is forbidden to interpose elastic materials of any nature or size between the base of the machine and the floor.
ATTENTION!
Do not install the washing machine on the floors without verification by a competent technician who can assess
the impact of the dynamic load on the floor andbuilding.
In these installations the manufacturer declines all responsibility for possible damage caused by vibrations.
Rigid washer-dryers must all be fixed to the ground.
Rigid machines with capacities from 30kg and above, are supplied with a steel subframe.
- the subframe must be drowned in a concrete basement properly anchored to the floor.
- before anchoring the machine to the basement make sure that the concrete has taken hold and, very
importantly, that the subframe is perfectly bubbled.
- place the machine in the appropriate anchor holes and tighten all the coupling bolts well.
From the attached technical sheet, the measures of the counterframe and the concrete base can be noted.
Land rigid machines with a capacity of up to 23kg are delivered with the equipment of anchors.

- Insert the steels anchors through the holes of the base of the washing machine, inside the holes made in the
concrete
- Close with torque wrench the anchor, according to the data given in the table above
ATTENTION!
For all installed rigid machines, test by having the washing machine perform a centrifuge at full load (maximum
speed and nominal load), verifying that:
- there are no vibrations.
- there is no noise.
- there are no points of contact or sliding between the basket and the tank of the machine.
IMPORTANT: If one of the problems listed above occurs, it means that the machine has not been properly fixed
to the ground. Re-verify:
- the correct bubble execution of the concrete base.
- the correct anchoring of the concrete base to the rest of the floor.
- the correct closure of the steel anchors.
9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel and must meet the
requirements of current local and national rules and / or regulations.
ATTENTION!
Check that the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated in the license plate data.

E190601X rev.6_ENG May 30, 2022

For the connection use a cable of type H05 VV –F or higher sized as reported in the license plate data and in
the following tables. Interpose upstream of the appliance an omni polar disconnection device, i.e., capable of
disconnecting all the poles that make up the power supply of the machinery. A differential circuit breaker with
opening between the contacts is recommended, which allows complete disconnection under the conditions of
surge category III and complies with current regulations.
Make sure that the main switch of the machine is in the "0" position.
Open the inlet door for the power supply.
Pass the appropriately dimensioned power cable (see no table and below) through the cable press supplied
with the machine.
The electrical power cables must be connected to the on-board disconnector.
Depending on the type of power supply provided by the serial number plate of the machine, connect the wires
to the disconnector contacts marked as follows:
: terminal for the equipotential connection with the grounding system of the user.
L1, L2, L3: phase terminals
N: neutral terminal
When installing or replacing the power cord, the ground conductor must be at least 5 cm longer than the others.
ATTENTION!
The appliance must be connected to an effective ground system: the manufacturer declines all responsibility if
this connection is not carried out according to the provisions of the regulations in force on the subject.
If the washing machine is installed on a metal surface, suchand suchand ontheground and must be connected
to the ground system with a conductor independent ofthe grounding of the washing machine.
ATTENTION!
For tilting machines make sure that the movement of the machine does not compromise the connection to the
power supply panels.
ATTENTION!
For machines equipped with a servo-ventilated motor, make sure that the direction of rotation of the fan agrees
with the direction printed on the motor label. If it should be inconsistent, reverse the order of connection of the
phases directly from the main terminal board of the machine.
Before any maintenance operation, disconnect the power supply: for maintenance, refer to the wiring diagram
of the machine, inserted inside the machine or available on the manufacturer's website.

ATTENTION!
The minimum sections listed above may vary depending on the length of the link. For lengths longer than 5
meters, increase the section proportionally to the additional length.
ATTENTION!
The connection of the machine must always be carried out according to the matricular data (power, supply
voltage, frequency). For supply voltages other than those envisaged, request information from the manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
In the event that the power supply comes from a diesel generator, the inverter requires the application of an
additional inductance.

E190601X rev.6_ENG May 30, 2022

ATTENTION!
In the event that the machine operates with coin, coin or equivalent systems, the emergency stop device is not
present. The installer must provide and install an emergency stop device positioned remotely and connected to
each machine in the installation.
ATTENTION!
All washing machines are equipped with speed regulation and therefore equipped with a frequency variator: it is
specifically necessary to provide differential protection through a type B RCD device (sensitive to the average
current value).
ATTENTION!
The machinery must be protected by an appropriate circuit breaker of the magneto thermic type, installed
outside the machinery. The interrupting power must be at least 10 kA. The magnetic protection, i.e. against
short circuits, can alternatively be performed by means of an omni polar fuse disconnector, of the same size.
The characteristics of the flow rate of the circuit breaker, as well as the current In of the differential, are listed
in the table below.

10. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION: WATER LOAD
The washing machines are equipped with solenoid valves for loading cold water and hot water (and hard water
for the models that provide for it): each water inlet is identified: for the connection quotas refer to the relative
technical sheet.
Upstream of each hydraulic supply pipe must be provided a gate that allows at any time to interrupt the flow of
water to the machine, both for any emergency situations and for normal maintenance operations. An inspectable
water filter must be installed upstream of each inlet: it is also a good idea to check the filters of the load solenoid
valves, after a short period of use of the machine, especially if the pipes to which the connection has been made
are old or not used for a long time.
ATTENTION!
The water supply pressure must be between a minimum of 0.05 MPa and a maximum of 10 MPa. The water
inlet temperature must never be below 5°C and above 60°C.
(The minimum and maximum values consider all the different models of valves present in the different sizes of
machinery).
The lower the supply pressure, the higher the loading times will be.
In the presence of several washing machines, the water load line must have a diameter that allows a rapid influx
even in the case of simultaneous loading of all washing machines.

ATTENTION!
All water loading valves must always be connected! If the system does not have hot water served, use cold water
to also feed the valve identified with "HOT WATER” and where present also the one identified as "HARD WATER".
ATTENTION!
For tilting machines make sure that the movement of the machine does not compromise the connection to the
water load collectors.
ATTENTION!
The HOT WATER heating system does not provide other autonomous or external forms of heating except the
same hot water served to the machinery. The thermoregulation is however guaranteed by the alternating
activation of the inlet of hot and cold water.
11. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION: WATER DRAIN
The solenoid valves used for the drain are of the normally open type, that is, they drain the water in case of
sudden power failure.
In the presence of several washing machines, the drain line must have a diameter such as to allow a rapid
outflow of the simultaneous drains of all washing machines; the exhaust manifold must be made in such a way
as to make it impossible for the water discharged from a washing machine to re-enter an adjacent washing
machine.
The discharge is by natural fall, so the exhaust pipes must not have depressions and counter-slopes: a minimum
slope of 2% is required for a correct outflow.
The exhaust system must meet the requirements of current local and national rules and/or regulations.
ATTENTION!
For tilting machines make sure that the movement of the machine does not compromise the connection to the
drain well.
12. STEAM CONNECTION
Only for machines equipped with steam heating, it is necessary to make a connection to the steam network. The
connection must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel and must meet the requirements of current
local and national rules and/ or regulations. Verify that the steam has the characteristics reported in the technical
data sheets, and that all the plant components are certified.
The steam valve is delivered undesiring: its electrical and hydraulic connection is by the installer.
ATTENTION!
Once the valve has been connected to the outside of the machine, the assembly must be protected by the metal
box supplied with it: see figure below.

E190601X rev.6_ENG May 30, 2022

The steam supply system must be made according to the following scheme. Finally, all the connections between
the system and the appliance must be subjected to a leak test.
A) machine
B) external system
C) steam supply system
Heating: indirect steam:
Heating: direct steam
The elements of the plant are identified as follows in the diagrams:
1) washing machine
2) steam valve (supplied)
3) filter
4) steam inlet gate
5) condensate trap
6) non-return valve
7) passage indicator
8) condensate outlet gate
ATTENTION!
The machine can operate with a steam pressure from 0.5bar to 4.5 bar, but the lower the steam pressure, the

E190601X rev.6_ENG May 30, 2022

better the water heating times in the washing phases.
ATTENTION!
For tilting machines make sure that the movement of the machine does not compromise the connection to the
steam collectors.
13. COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
The connection to the compressed air system is necessary only for some machine models: check the technical
data sheet in this regard.
The plant must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel and must meet the requirements of current
local and national rules and / or regulations.
All fittings between the system and the appliance are to be subjected to a leak test. For this operation it is
recommended to use spray for leaks. If there are leaks, proceed to their elimination.
ATTENTION!
For tilting machines make sure that the movement of the machine does not compromise the connection to the
air system.
14. USE OF DETERGENTS
The user should contact his chemical supplier to be aware of the risks related to the individual products and
their combinations.
It must have insurance the products and their combinations are compatible and do not cause oxidation or
damage to people and the washing machine.
In this regard, the following are the elements that meet detergents:
- stainless steel AISI304
- polypropylene PP
- EPDM and NBR rubbers
- borosilicate glass
ATTENTION!
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of hypochlorite (bleach)generates corrosion that can cause defects
on certain parts of the machine, under certain conditions of use.
15. MACHINE START-UP AND TESTING
Once all connections have been made, the machinery must be started in the manner provided for by its control
equipment. The machine must be tested in all its parts: it is suggested to attend at least one complete program,
performed at full load.
The first time you turn it on, you are prompted to select the language, date, and time. These items can still be
modified later by pressing the MENU key and typing the password 1234567.
In addition, attach ignition will be offered the possibility of connecting the machine to a Wi-Fi or wire internet
network. By pressing the green button, you can access the configuration menu of your network. The message
disappears once the connection is made or in any case after pressing the red button to cancel the request.
16. USE WASHING MACHINE
The washing machine is characterized by some elements that you need to know immediately, before starting to
use and the machine. Below are some generic images that summarize the possible configurations.

With point 1, the access door for loading detergents is identified.
In smaller machines, the opening of the rubber lid highlights three compartments P, W, S for loading detergents
of pre-washing, washing and fabric softener respectively.

E190601X rev.6_ENG May 30, 2022

In larger machines, the metal door opening highlights 4 jugs for loading powdered or liquid detergents.
Please note that the moments of loading of detergent and the durations of activation of the corresponding
valves, are programmable.
With point 2 it is identified at the control area that corresponds to the computer display, and with point 3, the
USB type A communication port.
Element 4 is the emergency fungus (where present).
ATTENTION!
The emergency button (if present), when pressed, acts in stop mode category = 1: removing the power to the
command. In this case, the display turns off and the cycle is automatically interrupted: the basket, in case it had
been in rotation, stops inertially; the tank is emptied.
The emergency mushroom should be pressed only if you must face a dangerous situation.
When the danger situation is overcome, the emergency button can be reset, making it rotate clockwise: the
display turns on and any previously interrupted cycle remains on standby and the following possibilities are
provided:
- resume the previous program from the cycle that had been interrupted.
- abort the program permanently.
Point 5 identifies the loading porthole of the machine. See in the following paragraphs the characteristics of the
different types of portholes that can equip the different models of washing machine.
Finally, step 6 locates the main switch.
