Interventions in the machine execution or functions are not allowed, and the manufacturer refuses any responsibility in such cases.
♦During transportation and storage never use excessive forces on the carton box because components can be damaged protruding the
contour line of the machine.
♦The washer extractor must be installed on level. If not, the machine may become unbalanced during extraction and, although fitted with
an unbalance safety, the machine may become seriously damaged what may result in bodily injuries.
♦Never transport the machine without the transporting braces mounted.
♦Never put the machine in operation when the transporting braces are not removed.
♦To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, make sure the washer has been properly grounded in accordance with the installation
instructions and ALL local codes.
Use copper conductors only. This appliance must be connected to a supply circuit to which no lighting units or general-purpose
receptacles are connected.
♦The machine must be connected to the power, ground, water, ventilation and steam supply according to the Installation manual, in
compliance with the local standards done by qualified technicians with proper authorization. The valid standards for connecting to the
local power network (TT / TN / IT, ...) must be followed.
♦All machines types are produced according the EMC-directive (Electro-Magnetic-Compatibility). They can be used in restricted
surroundings only (comply minimally with class A requirements). For safety reasons there must be kept the necessary precaution
distances with sensitive electrical or electronic device(s).
♦If you have a machine with frequency inverter do not change the parameters of the inverter. Doing so can cause serious injury, fire,
machine damage, etc.
♦Before removing top or back panel of the machine, switch power off and wait for at least 10 minutes. Before starting inspection of frequency
inverter, check for residual voltage across main circuit terminals + and -. This voltage must be below 30 VDC before you can access
the inverter for inspection.
♦The washer extractor is intended to be permanently connected to fixed wiring.
♦The washer must not be operated when the finger protection rubbers are removed or damaged.
♦Do not expose the washing extractor to excessive humidity or extreme temperatures.
♦Keep the top of the machine clean, without the presence of flammable materials. Do not wash or spray the machine with running water.
♦Do not operate the washer extractor when parts are broken or missing or when covers are open. The machine may not operate until the
fixed guards are put correctly in place.
♦Do not tamper with the washer extractor controls and do not bypass the safety instructions and the warnings.
♦Do not store flammable materials around the machine.
♦Define the dangerous areas in the laundry room and obstruct an admission to them during machine's operating.
♦Carefully read and follow the instructions on the packaging of detergents. Observe all warnings, cautions and labels to avoid personal
injury. Store detergents, laundry aids and disinfectants out of reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet.
Do not put articles soiled with explosif solvents and/or dangerous chemical products in the machine for any reason.
Do not open door until cylinder remains stopped and water has been drained from cylinder.
♦Always disconnect the power supply and close all water and steam valves while servicing the washer extractor.
♦Although the washer may be in the “off” position, there is still electrical power to the switch supply terminals.
Do not repair or adjust belt drive when the machine is in operation. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the maintenance instructions.
Original or identical parts must be used for replacement in this washer extractor. After servicing replace and secure all panels in the
original way. Take these measures for continued protection against electrical shock, injury, fire and/or property damage.
♦If steam is leaking, turn off the main steam supply and contact the maintenance worker.
♦Turn off the main supply like water, steam, electricity at the end of each operating day.
♦Check the functioning of the door lock mechanism on regular base.
♦Regularly once a three months check the proper function of ground and emergency button.
♦If the installed machines operates with coin, token or similar operation, then the owner-installer must provide a remote-located
emergency stop device. This device must be placed in such a way that it is easy and safely accessible for the users. The emergency
stop device takes care that at least the control circuit of the washer extractors is interrupted.
♦Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be created in the hot water system that has not been used for two or more weeks.
Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water system has not been used for such period open all hot water taps and let the water run out

stress of the machine.
The friction coefficient must be higher then 0,5 between the rubber feet and the floor material. Do not place
the machine on a smooth surface but on a rough floor material like concrete. If the friction coefficient is less,
then the machine can move while spinning. If this should happens fasten the machine, see “Fasten with
achoring bolts”.
For 60, 75and 95 liter machines
Position the machine only on his 4 adjustable rubber feet.
For 165 liter machines
Place between the four corners of the frame and the floor a thin rubber sheet of 10 x 10 cm with thickness
between 1 en 2 mm maximum. We advice to fasten this machines always, see “Fasten with achoring bolts”.
4.3.2 FREELY ON AN ELEVATION.
Only for 60, 75 and 95 liter machines.
If you choose to place the machine on a metal base or pad, use a U-profile to secure the machine position.
Fix the U-profile to the iron frame by welding or fix it to the floor by ancoring bolts. This is necessary to
prevent that the machine moves from the base. Make a base according, fig. 4.3.2.
Place the machines front rubber feet in the U-profile.

4.3.3 FIXED ON AN ELEVATION
The machine can also be secured to a mounting base or foundation by means of bolts and anchoring bolts
to assure the safety. When a concrete pad or a frame is used then is the maxium height 305 mm (12”). The
pad or frame must be designed so that it can carry the static and dynamic forces. The tickness of iron
profiles is minimuim 4 mm (0.158”).
For 60, 75 and 95 liter machines, remove the four rubber feeds from the machine frame.
Do not tighten anchoring bolts before the concrete base around the bolts is completely secured.
Tighten the anchoring bolts with the prescribed torque of the bolts.

your order. Before connection check if the electrical values stated on the serial plate of the machine
correspond to your electrical network. If not do not connect the machine, please contact your dealer. If the
machine is not equipped with a main switch then supply disconnecting devices need to be provided in the
installation for all electrical supplies connected to the machine, in accordance with EN 60204-1 standard,
point 5.3.
WARNING !
ONLY AUTHORIZED WORKERS WITH A VALID QUALIFICATION MUST EXECUTE THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION OF THE MACHINE ACCORDING TO THE VALID LOCAL STANDARDS.
Fig. 4.5.A. Example of electrical connection
SUPPLY CABLE AND SAFETY DEVICES
If there is no mainswitch at the back of the machine, there must be installed a circuit breaker (with
properties according to the local standards) to isolate each washer for a safe disconnecting of the machine,
e.g. maintenance.
Supply cable of the machine must have copper wires. The cross section of the supply wires depends on the
supply voltage and on the total electrical power input of the machine (see table 4.3). The supply cable
safety device against a short-circuit fault and overloading must be performed by automatic breakers or
fuses in the laundry switchboard. The recommended minimal cross-section of the supply wires as well as
the values of fuses (F) for the supply are stated in table 4.5.
In all cases were the local standards requirments are higher, these has to be followed above the
recommendation in table 4.5. If the local standards say that there must be installed a differential (leakage)
current breaker we suggest to install one of 100 mA eqiupped with invertor drive, 30 mA for convential
motor system.

SUPPLY CABLE CONNECTION TO THE MAC H INE
WARNING !
THE PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR MUST BE LONGER SO THAT WHEN THE CABLE IS PULLED OUT
ACCIDENTALLY, THIS CONDUCTOR IS DISCONNECTED AS THE LAST ONE!
WARNING !
THE WASHER EXTRACTOR IS INTENDED TO BE PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO FIXED WIRING.
Push the cable through the turnbuckle and connect the wires with the main switch. The diameter of the
supply cable must between 10-14 mm for PG16 turnbuckle and between 13-18 mm for PG21 turnbuckle.
Conductors of the supply cords shall not be consolidated by lead-tin soldering where they are subject to
contact pressure, unless the clamping means is constructed so that there is no risk of a bad contact due to
cold flow of the solder.The phase terminals are marked by L1, L2 and L3. A separate insulated terminal,
labeled N, is provided for the neutral wire. Connect the protection earth wire directly to the protection earth
terminal (marked PE) located on the rear bridge. Tighten the cap nut of the turnbuckle. By this way the
rubber ring in the turnbuckle is pressed, thus securing the cable mechanically and against water. If there’s
no mainswitch the terminals are marked in the same way so also the connection is the same. Depending on
your supply voltage it is possible that L2 and L3 (1 AC) or N (3 AC without Neutral) must not be connected.
If the cable is attached from above, it is recommended to make a sagging on the cable in front of its entry
into the cable turnbuckle. In this way an ingress of the running condensed water into the bush and/or
machine can be avoided. The manufacturer recommends to attach the cable from beneath.

CHECKING ROTATION DIRECTION
CHECK IF THE DRUM ROTATES FROM THE FRONT VIEW IN CLOCKWISE DIRECTION DURING
EXTRACTION. IF IT ROTATES IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION, DISCONNECT TWO PHASES OF THE
CONNECTION FROM THE FREQUENCY CONVERTOR TO THE MOTOR , SWITCH THEM OVER AND
CHECK AGAIN THE ROTATION DIRECTION.
Fig. 4.5.C. Spin direction
MULTIPLE MACHINES IN LINE SIMPLE PHA SE
When multiple single phase machines are connected to the same electrical network, it is necessary to
connect the machines according to fig. 4.9. The phase of the frequency control and motor which is
connected to the terminal inside the machine, has to be connected alternatively for the first machine with
the first phase L1 of the network, the second machine with the second phase L2, … The fourth machine
must again be connected to the first phase L1. This assures a better load of the electrical network.

4.6. CONNECTION OF WATER SUPPLIES
WATER CONNECTION
WATER HARDNESS
It is advisable to contact the water supplier for information concerning the properties of the water in your
area. Good wash results are dependent also on the water hardness. For medium to very hard water,
consideration should be made to make the water softer.
Only in some cases is the use of hard water desirable, such as adding softener in the linen.
The soap supplier can help you with making the right decisions concerning hard water, soft water, washing
programs, type of soap and other related items to have the best wash results.
Characteristics mmol / dm3dH -

very hard above 3,75 above 21° above 37° above 26,3° above 15
Tab.4.6.A.
HOT WATER
When the machine is provided with a hot water inlet, we advise connecting this inlet to a hot water supply
that is set to 70°C – 158°F. The hot water supply needs to be large enough to provide the required hot
water for the washers.
WATER CONNECTION
Most machines are made with 2 or 3 water inlets. One is always marked with „soft water“. If more inlets are
present, they are marked with „Hot water“ or „Hard water“. For connection dimensions see fig. 3.1. Always
use the flexible hose delivered with the machine, if not present, contact your dealer. In each case do not
use a fixed connection to the water supply.
For the proper function of the machine, it is necessary to keep the water pressure within the limits stated in
the technical data. It is also necessary to connect all available water inlets to a water supply. If a hard water
supply is not present, connect it with soft water. If no hot water supply is present, contact your dealer for the
proper required action.
The machine is equipped with 3/4" inlet valves. First let the water flow from the tap into the drain before
connecting the machine to the water system. This is for cleaning the pipes from dirt. Otherwise the filters
could be stopped up.
Open the taps and check the connection points at the taps and at the inlets of the machine for tightness. If
water is leaking, correct the position of the seal and tighten the screw coupling.
WATER CONSUMPTION
The water consumption depends on the programmed values in the timer. These values are shown in the
program manual. For a prewash and wash the low water level (LL) is used. The high water level (HL) is
used for rinsing. The programmed units correspond to an average amount of water. You can calculate the
total water consumption in one washing program by counting up the amount of water by each washing step.
An example is shown for a system with cold and warm water supply for a machine with capacity of 95 liter.
A system without warm water supply you can count with the total amounts.
Program 60°C Light soiled linen
Consumption (liter) Cold water Warm water Total
1. Wash 60°C 15 16 31
2. Rinse (3x) 46 0 138
TOTAL 61 16 169
Tab 4.6.B. Water consumption
The values received from this calculation is only an estimation of the real water consumption. The deviation
depends on many circumstances. In the wash cycle for example there will be taken a mix of warm water
and cold water. The mix of the water depends on the temperature of both. The total amount of water
consumed depends also on the loading of the drum with linen and the turning of the drum.

16 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL PUB.DATE : 05/02 100646
WATER DRAIN CONNECTION
The machine is equipped with a drain valve of 75 mm (3”) diameter. The drain is situated on the rear of the
machine. The drain has to be connected to the waste channel. You can use the elbow, which is a part of the
delivery. Secure the elbow with a clamp.
THE WASTE CHANNEL MUST BE LOCATED LOWER THAN THE DRAIN PIPES BECAUSE THE WATER
DISCHARGES FROM THE MACHINES BY GRAVITY. DO NOT REDUCE THE DIAMETER OF THE
MACHINE DRAIN PIPES.

Without rubber feet :
X1 = 55 mm
With rubber feet :
X1 = 73 mm
X2 > 100 mm
X3 > 20mm
Fig. 4.6.A. Design of the waste channel
The main drainpipe must have the capacity to be able to handle the total output of all connected machines.
There must also be a hole every twenty meter in the drainpipe, fig. 4.6.B, pos 1 to assure the good working
of the drain. This allows air in the main drain and facilitates drainage of the water flow. Every time a
machine is coupled on the drainpipe, the diameter of the tube or the width of the waste channel must be
more. See, fig. 4.6.B, D1,D2,D3.
The recommended drain pipes diameter are:
D1 = 75 mm / 3” for one machine
D2 = 100 mm / 4” for two machines
D3 = 125 mm / 5” for three machines
If the main drain cannot be sufficiently deodorized, install a deodorizer per machine.

AIR VENT CONNECTION
WARNING!
WATCH OUT FOR STEAM ESCAPE FROM THE MACHINE VENTING !
DO NOT COVER THE MACHINE VENTING; IT SERVES AS A STEAM OUTLET AND MACHINE
VENTING. IT ALLOWS A PROPER MEASURING OF THE LEVEL..
On the backside, the machine is provided with a drum air vent terminal (see fig. 3.1 pos 4) of external
diameter 75 mm (3"). Do not cover it!
For the safety of everyone do one of the following things :
1. Make sure that no-one can reach the backside of the machine.
2. You can connect the machine-venting pipe to the laundry central duct for exhausting the steam out of the
building or to another room where it is safe to emit it. The piping material must withstand a temperature
of80°C / 176°F. You can attach a rubber elbow on the machine by using of a clamp. The central duct
formultiple venting must be dimensioned for the total cross section of venting pipes of all machines.
Acalibration of the machine’s “zero level “ must be made after the duct attachment.
3. You can also use a rubber pipe (elbow and a clamp) and emit the vapor in the waste channel.
WARNING!
BE SURE THAT THE END OF THE PIPE IS NOT IN THE WATER, OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE AN
ACCUMULATION OF STEAM IN THE MACHINE. THIS CAN LEAD TO INJURY TO PEOPLE AND CAN
DAMAGE THE MACHINE!!
4.7. CONNECTION OF LIQUID WASHING SOAPS DOSING
It is possible to connect an external dosing of liquid soaps to the machine.
WARNING !
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE SUPPLY POWER INLET BEFORE INSTALLATION.
THE INLET TERMINALS ARE UNDER CURRENT EVEN WHEN THE MAIN SWITCH IS OFF
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND CONNECTING THE MACHINE INLETS MUST BE CARRIED OUT
BY AUTHORIZED WORKERS ACCORDING TO INSTALLATION MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH VALID LOCAL STANDARDS.
AFTER THE HOSES ARE CONNECTED PUT ALL MACHINE COVERS BACK TO THEIR PLACES.
For connecting the liquid soap inlets and wiring for machines 60l / 75l / 95l you must take of the top panel.
Unscrew the two bolts and take the top panel of the machine. For the 165l it is sufficient to open the top
panel by means of the two keyswitches at the front.
