Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer,
follow these basic precautions:
W023
•Read all instructions before using the washer.
•Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION instructions. Refer to the Earthing (grounding) instructions in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earthing (grounding) of
the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power
and earthing (grounding) must comply with local codes and
be made by licensed personnel when required. It is recommended that the machine be installed by qualified technicians.
•Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
•To prevent fire and explosion, keep the area around machine
free from flammable and combustible products. Do not add
the following substances or textiles containing traces of the
following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene,
waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners, or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch fire by
itself.
•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.
•To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the electrical power source.
•Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children. This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
•DO NOT reach and/or climb into the tub or onto the washer,
ESPECIALLY if the wash drum is moving. This is an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal injury or death.
•Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts
removed or broken. DO NOT bypass any safety devices or
tamper with the controls.
•Use washer only for its intended purpose, washing textiles.
Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in the machine. This could result in serious damage to the basket or
tub.
•Use only low-sudsing, no-foaming types of commercial detergent. Be aware that hazardous chemicals may be present.
Wear hand and eye protection when adding detergents and
chemicals. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instruc-
tions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all
warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or
chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of children at all
times [preferably in a locked cabinet].
•Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
•To avoid machine corrosion and component failure, do not
use corrosive chemicals in the machine. Warranty claims related to damage caused by corrosive chemicals will be denied.
•Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the textile manufacturer.
•Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to
fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch
by permitting the washer to operate with the loading door
open. Do not attempt to open the door until the washer has
drained and all moving parts have stopped.
•Be aware that hot water is used to flush the supply dispenser.
Avoid opening the dispenser lid while the machine is running.
•Do not attach anything to the supply dispenser's nozzles, if
applicable. The air gap must be maintained.
•Do not operate the machine without the water reuse plug or
water reuse system in place, if applicable.
•Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill
hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the
end of each wash day.
•Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the
washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have washer checked by a qualified service person.
•DANGER: Before inspecting or servicing machine, power
supply must be turned OFF. The servicer needs to wait for at
least 10 minutes after turning the power OFF and needs to
check for residual voltage with a voltage meter. The inverter
remains charged with high voltage for some time after powering OFF. This is an imminently hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, will cause severe personal injury or death. Before
starting inspection of the inverter, check for residual voltage
across main circuit terminals + and -. This voltage must be
below 30 VDC before the servicer can access the inverter for
inspection.
•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
the user understands and has the skills to carry out. ALWAYS
disconnect the washer from electrical, power and water supplies before attempting any service.
•Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or by
unplugging the machine. Replace worn power cords.
•Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
•Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Reused Water Treatment
The reused water must be filtered before entering the water reuse
tank. A mechanical filter must be installed which filters off small
particles (fluff, buttons, paper, etc.) of sizes 0.0079 in. [0.2 mm]
or smaller. The denser the mesh, the better. There must also be a
filter installed on the pressure side of the pump. It is also possible
to install an additional, chemical filter. The manufacturer advises
to consult a specialist in filter systems.
Water Reuse Tank Properties
WARNING
It is prohibited to heat the water in the reuse tank.
This would disturb the temperature balance of the
washer and make the remaining chemicals in the recuperated water more active, which would lead to
corrosion of the entire installation.
W901
The reuse tank must meet the following minimum requirements:
•The tank must be made according to national standards.
•Tank capacity varies depending on multiple factors, so it must
be calculated by an authorized engineer. The factors are:
•The number of washing steps per washer, in which the wa-
ter will be re-used.
•The programmable amount of water that will be re-used in
a washing step (to find this amount, please refer to the
Programming Manual).
•The number of washers that will deliver water to the re-
use tank.
•The use of recuperated water per washer.
The tank must have an overflow to the sewer. Water from the
sewer must not be able to flow back into the reuse tank.
The network of pipes and hoses, the water pump and the reuse
tank must be of a non-corroding material. It must be resistant to
water and chemicals used for washing.
Connection - outside diam-
0.75 [19]
eter, in. [mm]
The hose and the connector must be resistant to chemical substances which are used for the washing process. It is also possible
to use a hose with enhanced performance such as the rubber
EPDM hose.
The water reuse system must be fitted with a filter which must be
regularly and thoroughly cleaned (based on water quality). This
cleaning prevents prolongation of filling up times and malfunction of water valves.
The tank must be equipped with a system that fills the tank with
clean water to a minimum required working level, in case the water level drops below this minimum. If this requirement is not met
and an insufficient or no amount of recuperated water is fed into
the washer, it will not function properly.
A pump must transport the recuperated water from the tank to the
washer. The requirements for the pump depend on the number
and type of washers that are connected to the water re-use system. The maximum pump pressure is 116 psi [8 bar].
It is advisable to install a level switch. This level switch must be
connected to the microprocessor by means of a potential-free
contact. Refer to Figure 19 .

IMPORTANT: If the machine is not equipped with a
main switch, 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.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the supply voltage is always
within the limits specified. When you have long distances in the electrical installation, it may be necessary to
use bigger cables to reduce the voltage drop.
Models outside of North America:
IMPORTANT: When the machine is connected near a
large capacity power supply transformer (500kVA or
more, wiring length shorter than 32.81 ft [10 m]) or
there is a power capacitor switch-over, a power supply
improving reactor must be installed. If you do not install this, the inverter may get damaged. Contact your
distributor for more information.
Models outside of North America: For electrical protection, if local regulations allow, there must be installed a residual current
device (RCD) and a circuit breaker in the electrical installation of
the building (laundry switchboard). Refer to Figure 20 .
Electrical connections are made at the rear of the machine. The
machine must be connected to the proper electrical supply shown
on the serial plate on the rear of the machine, using copper conductors only.

Residual Current Device (RCD) - Models Outside
of North America
In some countries, an RCD is known as an Earth Leakage Trip,
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), Appliance Leakage
Current Interrupter (ALCI) or Earth (Ground) Leakage Current
Breaker.
When locally allowed, an RCD must be installed. In some power
network earthing systems, an RCD may not be allowed.
The RCD must have the following specifications:
•Tripping current of 100mA (if not locally available/allowed,
use a 30mA trip current, preferably selective type with small
time delay set)
•Type B (components inside the machine which make use of
DC voltages and require this better performance RCD)
3. With stranded conductors, use wire end tubes with an insulated sleeve (6) for L1/U, (L2/V), (L3/W), (N) conductors.
Make sure there is no accidental contact, since the supply cable stays under voltage even when the main switch is off.
