General safety instructions
Ignoring any of the safety instructions can cause serious
personal injury and can also cause damage to the linen or the
machine
Read the installation and instruction manual carefully before connecting the
machine.
It is recommended that the machine be installed by qualified technicians.
Themachineshouldbe installed accordingtotheinstallation instructions. (See
chapter 3)
The machine should be grounded according to the instructions in order to
eliminatethe riskof electrocution.
Donotexposethemachinetohighhumidityorextremehighorlowtemperatures.
Cut off all main water inlets, steam and electrical supplies at the end of each
operating day.
Before starting repairs or maintenance, shut off all power and water supplies.
To prevent fire and explosion:
Keep the area around the machine free from inflammable or combustible
products.
Donotput fabrics thataretreated with inflammableproductsinto the machine.
These fabrics should be hand-washed or air-dried first.
Always carefully read and follow the instructions on the packing of detergents.
Store these products out of the reach of children.
Always take into account the instructions on the labels of clothes.
Never allow children to play in the surroundings of a machine.
Remark:
These instructions surely cannot prevent all risks of accidents. It is up to the user to act with the
utmost precaution.
Do not hesitate to contact the dealer in case of a problem.

To prevent damage during transportation, the machine has been equipped with
fourredtransportbrackets(D)toeliminateeverypossiblemovementofthetub.
After the machine has been placed level, take off the service- and the back panel
to remove these transport brackets.
Important
The machine must never be activated before removing these transport
brackets.
Installation and connection
Ground
Themachine mustbe placedon aflat, solidsurface (metalbase, concreteor solid
ground).Itisrecommendedthatthemachinebeanchored(M16)ontheprovided
places (A) in the base, especially in case of a plinth
(see Dimensions 2).
Themachine mustbeplacedentirelylevel. Foreasymaintenanceitisrecommen-
ded to keep a minimal distance of 600 mm between the wall and the back of the
machine.
If several machines are placed next to each another, there should be a minimal
distance of 30 mm between each machine.
The machine is delivered with hoses with 3/4" connections. These hoses fit the
water inlet valves of the machine and the main water inlet taps. To ensure the
optimal functioning of the water inlet valves, the water pressure on the inlet
shouldbebetween 0,5 and10kg/cm² (7and 145 psi).Ifthe pressure istoolow,
the cycle time will increase considerably.

Electrical Connection
Themachineisequippedwithadrainvalvewith3"outerdiameter(80mm).
This drain valve should be connected to the drain by means of the drain
elbow which is delivered with the machine.
The diameter of the main drain should be adapted to the water flow and
the number of machines. It should be sufficient to handle at least 160L/
min.per machine.
It is necessary to connect the main drain at least on one side to an open
air-braketoallowventilation.
When the main drain has not been sufficiently deodorized, every
machine should be installed seperately with a deodorizer.

After having connected the machine, check the spin direction of the drum. The drum should spin in the
direction of the arrowindicated on the door glass(clockwise). Ifthedrum spinsinthe wrong sense,it can
cause damage to the motor and can cause water to splash out through the soap dispenser.
In case of a wrong spin direction, switch the position of the connectors of the motor circuit from R to S
and vice versa.

Electrical connection of
the liquid soap pumps
The 220V can be transformed to other values to drive other type soap
pumps.
Example:pumps24V~.
A rubber connection has been placed over the air break opening at the back
of the machine. There are 5 holes in this rubber connection, through each
ofwhichaliquidsoaphosecanbedriven(S1...S5).Pressthehosesuntilthey
appear well insidethesoapdispenser.
The central gap in the rubber connection remains and serves as air breaker.
Liquid soap connection (option)
Connection of the liquid soap
hoses
On machines equipped with a liquid soap connection, connect the wires
directly on the print board next to the ground wire connection (option).
Connect as indicated on the wiring diagram.
The two connectors on the right give a tension of 220V ~ (max. 4A) which
canbeappliedtodrive220V~soappumps.Ifmorethan 4Ais required,an
external tension will have to be used. 6 connections have been provided,
of which one (S6) can be used to drive a waterproofing pump (e.g. for rain
coats, etc.).
Also, pumps with different operating tension can be combined.

Operating instructions
Open the door
Fill the drum The machines have 5 wash programs. Sort the linen according to the quality and
theallowedwashtemperature.Removeallnails,coins,etc.thatcandamagethelinen
orthe machineduringthewashcycle.Turnsleeves ofovercoats, shirtsand blouses
inside out. To increase the wash action and thus the quality of the wash, it is
recommended to mix large and small pieces.
If the machine is filled less than 80% of the capacity, this could prevent a good
operation and can even damage the machine.
Overloading the machine can be the cause of low wash quality.
Press "A" and open the door.
Close the door
Select program Press the button of the desired program: (1-5)
Add detergent Takethenecessary soapcompartmentsout of thesoap dispenser andfillthem with

the soap dispenser, leaning against the axle of the drop valves.
SeeinstructionmanualPS 40 :“6: Operating mode”.
Remark :
Bleachmayneverbeaddedthroughthesoapcompartments. Usetheexternalpump
at the back side of the machine for this purpose.
The dosing is to be programmed through soap inlet 4 (soap 4). See instruction
manualPS40:“4:Programmingmode”.
For more detailed information on the operation : see instruction manual PS 40.
Liquid detergents can also be added through the external soap pumps. These soap
pumps are available as an option. Some machines are not equipped with a soap
dispenser, so that detergents can only be added this way.
Machines equipped with soap pumps do not have the bleach pump at the back of
the machine, but have it included in the group of pumps. See instruction manual
PS40:“4:Programmingmode”.
