♦The washer extractor is designed for fabrics washing only, other objects can damage the washer and can cause damage or injuries.

♦The manufacturer is not responsible for the damage to the fabrics that are washed by an inappropriate washing method.

♦Always follow the instructions and/or warnings that are stated on the fabrics, washing products or cleaning products mentioned by the manufacturer.

♦The washer must be set up in accordance with the instructions. All drain, inlet, electrical connections, ventilation, groundings and other connections must be done in 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.

In the standard execution, the appliance may not be suitable for connecting to an IT supply system. Contact your commercial distributor for assistance.

♦All appliances 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).

♦Do not change the parameters of the frequency inverter. This can cause serious injury, fire, washer damage, etc.

♦During transportation and storage never use excessive forces on the packing because components can be damaged protruding the contour line of the appliance.

♦Use copper conductors only. This appliance must be connected to a supply circuit to which no lighting units or general-purpose receptacles are connected.

♦Any changes concerning the installation which are not described in this Installation Manual must be approved by the supplier or manufacturer. Otherwise, the supplier and manufacturer are not responsible for potential injuries to operators or for any damages. Interventions in the appliance execution or functions are not allowed, and the manufacturer refuses any responsibility in such cases.

♦The washer extractor must be installed on level. If not, the washer may become unbalanced during extraction and, although fitted with an unbalance safety, the washer may become seriously damaged what may result in bodily injuries.

♦Never put the washer in operation when the transporting braces are not removed. The washer should always be tested before use.

♦Keep the appliance top and surface and the area around clean and clear of combustible or flammable products.

♦Do not store flammable materials around the appliances. Define the dangerous areas in the laundry room and obstruct an admission to them during appliances operating.

♦Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, wash in soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

♦Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

♦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 for few minutes. This will release any accumulated gas. As this gas is flammable, do not smoke or use open flames during this time.

♦TEMPERATURE IN WASHING MACHINE TUB: The electronic controller uses the temperature sensor in the tub to control the temperature of the washing bath. There are a lot of things that have influence on the temperature measurement. Therefore the temperature control of the washing bath is not very precise.

FREELY ON THE FLOOR

The machine is to be located on a not elevated leveled concrete floor that comply with static and dynamic 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 withanchoring bolts“.

MACHINES 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 18lb, 10kg / 25lb

Position the machine only on his 4 adjustable rubber feet.

MACHINES 16kg / 35lb

Place between the four corners of the frame and the floor a thin rubber sheet of 10 x 10 cm / 3.93“ x 3.93“ with thickness between 1-2 mm / 0.04“ - 0.08“ maximum. We advice to fasten this machines always,

see „Fasten with anchoring bolts“.

FREELY ON AN ELEVATION

MACHINES 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 18lb, 10kg / 25lb

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 anchoring bolts. This is necessary to prevent that the machine moves from the base. Make a base according, fig.4.3.A.

Place the machines front rubber feet in the U-profile.

SECURE 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 maximum height 305 mm / 12“. The pad or frame must be designed so that it can carry the static and dynamic forces. The thickness of iron profiles is minimum 4 mm / 0.158“.

For 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 18lb, 10kg / 25lb 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.

LEVELING THE MACHINE

! WARNING!

THE MACHINE MUST RELIABLY REST IN ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE MACHINE! THE MACHINE MAY NOT ROCK.

THE MACHINE MUST BE IN WATER LEVELLED POSITION.

MACHINES 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 18lb, 10kg / 25lb

The rubber feet are screwed on the bottom of the machine frame and are adjustable with a wrench size 13 mm / 0.5“ and 17 mm / 0.7“. Check the position of the top of the machine by a water level and adjust machine legs, fig.3., pos.11. Adjust the four rubber feet until the machine is leveled and tighten the nuts M10 back to the bottom of the frame as counter nut.

MACHINES 16kg / 35lb

The 16kg / 36lb machines don’t have rubber feet for adjustment to water level. When it is necessary use thin hard plates of 10 x 10 cm / 3.93“ x 3.93“ with thickness of 1 mm / 0.04“ and place them under the frame corner of the lowest position. Use more of them until the machines stands water level. It is always advisable to bolt down this machine after leveling. Take care that the machine is in the lowest possible position.

If the machine with his cabinet rocks can it damage the machine cabinet. The manufacturer is not responsible for consequences caused by a wrong installation.
