2. INTRODUCTION

The present booklet has been formulated in
a simple and rational way, in order for the
reader to get deeply familiar with the wash-
ing machine. Please, read it carefully and
keep with the machine. However, the warn-
ing and advice contained in this manual
cannot cover every possible contingency.
This is why it is important to underline that
common sense, carefulness and caution can-
not be supplied by the manufacturer, but
must be provided by those in charge of its
installation, maintenance and use.
Whoever operates the machine must have
read this manual beforehand.
In case of repairs, the manufacturer recom-
mends the use of original spare parts. Orders
are dealt with in chapter 8.
The descriptions and sketches reported in
this manual do not bind the manufacturer,
who reserves the right to update them and/
or include any upgrading modification of
parts and fittings if deemed necessary for
manufacturing or commercial purposes, at
any time and with no previous notice.
3. PRESCRIPTIONS, RESTRICTIONS
AND OTHER USES
The washing machine must be operated by
trained personnel only.
Disconnect it in case of malfunction and/or
faulty operation.
During use, cleaning and maintenance it is
absolutely necessary to be sure that tools or
hands are never stuck in the moving parts of
the appliance (motor, belts, etc.).
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility
for any personal injury arising while using,
cleaning or servicing the washing machine.
Do not open the soap dispenser while the
appliance is running, because of the sub-
stance contained and also because of water
temperature.
This machine was designed to wash fabrics
according to the instruction labels appearing
on garments. Wash only cloths, household
linen and ordinary fabrics.
Do not load the machine with fabrics that
have been in contact with inflammable or
chemical products. Otherwise, hand-wash
them first, and then air-dry to let those sub-
stances evaporate.
The operation of any electric or electronic
appliance entails compliance with certain
basic rules and in this case particularly: do
not touch the machine with damp or wet
hands or feet; do not use it while barefoot, do
not expose it to atmospheric agents like rain,
salt, salinity, etc. Do not allow operation by
children or disabled persons without proper
supervision. Do not smoke near the machine
or during operation; do not remove or ignore
safety devices; do not clean the machine by
spilling water directly or indirectly over it
and therefore, install far from such possibili-
ties.
ANY USE NOT EXPLICITLY MEN-
TIONED HERE BELOW MUST BE
CONSIDERED AS HAZARDOUS. THE
MANUFACTURER ASSUMES NO RE-
SPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE
RESULTING FROM IMPROPER,
WRONG OR UNREASONABLE USE.

THE INSTALLER
4. TIPS ABOUT SHIPPING, UNPACK-
ING, HANDLING AND STORING THE
MACHINE
4.1 SHIPPING
To move and/or ship the machine, follow
carefully the ensuing recommendations:
Move the case on its own pallet or on a
similar platform; use a fork lift, either manual
or electric, provided it is adequate for han-
dling such appliances and it has the requisite
lifting capacity (see technical data). Check
that the appliance can surmount every exist-
ing obstacle, like staircases, doors, etc. Never
drag it by the sides or by any other part.
If the case must be shipped, use only the
original packaging, which ensures sufficient
stability during transportation.
4.2 STORING
If the appliance must be stored for a long
period of time before being put into opera-
tion, keep it inside its original package,
which guarantees excellent protection. Store
it in premises where ambient conditions
comply with the requirements of chapter 5.
If the machine must be out of service for a
long period after use, be sure it is materially
disconnected from the electric power supply
and cover it with its original plastic protec-
tion bag.
4.3 UNPACKING
1) Prior to accepting the case from the car-
rier, check the conditions of the package. If
it is showing visible damage, the machine
too may have suffered some consequences.
If so, unpack the machine in the presence of
the carrier and sign, with reservation, the
delivery bill. The manufacturer assumes no
liability for any damage caused by transpor-
tation or incorrect storage.
2) Unpack the appliance with the utmost
care to avoid damage. To take the pallet off,
remove the screws inside, which are on the
holes aimed for fastening the machine to the
floor.
3) Open the door (see paragraph 7.2).
4) Check that the following fittings are in-
side the drum: two metal bands, 1 90° rubber
elbow, 2 3/4" flexible tubes with threaded
ring, 1* brass strain for the steam inlet, 1*
metal flexible tube, nuts, washers and C-
washers in numbers corresponding to the
number and diameter of the fastening clamps,
