not introduce materials dirty with ash, wax or paint.
USER MANUAL
GW6290
Page 15 - 90
CHEMICAL DISINFECTION
Warning: if possible, thermal disinfection is always more advisable than a chemical
disinfection process. According to regional regulations, the decontamination process with
chemical agents might be considered invalid by the responsible authorities, and can be used
only if the loaded items cannot bear the specific temperature of thermal disinfection.
The suggested washing and chemical disinfection cycles are specifically designed for the
recommended products and can be inappropriate with other chemical products. Do not use
products that were not specified by the manufacturer.
The authority responsible for the device and the decontamination process is also
responsible for the selection of the most appropriate treatment cycle.
6.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TRANSPORT
The machine is initially packaged: it is positioned and secured on wooden pallets,
wrapped in protective nylon for dust and water infiltrations and covered in cardboard.
Do not use devices which were damaged during transport.
STORING: The device must be preserved in a closed environment, not in the open air, in
temperature and moisture conditions similar to those specified for its functioning.
Transport of the machine to the place of its actual installation is at the client’s expense
ad requires a lift truck.
Refer to the product’s technical sheet to know its net weight and gross weight with
packaging.
When using the lift truck the product must be secured with belts to prevent it from
overturning in the event of braking.
Unpacking operations:
1. Take the external strapping off the packaging
2. Open and remove the cardboard and the nylon wrapping
3. Do not place the machine on its side
4. Remove the polystyrene corner protectors
5. The machine base is fastened to a pallet to be lifted and transported. When the
machine is placed in the position for actual operation, the pallet holders, made with
self-tapping wood screws, must be removed.
6. Place the machine on a horizontal plane with a maximum gradient of 2°; level it
using the adjustable feet.
7. Do not place the machine on a flammable surface.
8. Do not use the door handles to transport the product.
Manual transportation of the product must be avoided as far as possible. The use of a tail
lift is recommended.
If manual transportation is necessary: involve at least 3 people or more to transport the
product. Use a “ramp” to take the device off the pallet more easily. Take care to secure the
ramp to the wooden pallet to prevent unexpected repositioning.

POSITIONING THE MACHINE in the area of proper use
LEVELING
Once the machine has been placed, screw or unscrew the feet in order to adjust its position
and level it with the bubble level so that it is perfectly horizontal (maximum angular
tolerance permitted: 0.5°, corresponding to a maximum gap permitted on the extreme
points of the machine of maximum 5mm).
Levelling the device properly helps its correct operation.
6.4 ACCESSING AND REUSING THE DEVICE AFTER AN INCOMPLETE CYCLE
Instructions on the safety of the device in case of incomplete operation are given in compliance with the
par. 5.4.4.g and 13.1.102 IEC61010-2-040:2015.
In particular, these precautions are applied in the event the device is used to treat biologically
contaminated material.
WARNING
If a disinfection cycle is interrupted (by the operator or if an alarm arises): pay attention in
handling all instruments of the load inside the washing chamber.
The loaded items and internal parts of the machine might be infected/ biologically
contaminated.
Before handling the instruments or before any maintenance operation: start a complete cycle
of thermal disinfection or, if it is not possible to start a complete cycle, handle the instruments
cautiously (using the protection devices suitable for handling infected instruments, e.g. gloves,
smock).
WARM SURFACE DANGER
The machine operates a cycle of thermal disinfection using high temperature water, up to 93°C,
and detergents. If, in case of malfunction, the door is open and there is water inside the tank:
avoid skin contact, for burning and irritation danger due to the toxicity of chemical products.
Never touch the heating elements in the tank.

9 LOAD PREPARATION FOR WASH CYCLE AND DISINFECTION
Regulations on loading modalities are provided in compliance with 5.4.4-k IEC61010-2-040:2015.
An effective washing begins in the load preparation phase: the load must be adequately placed in the
appropriate supports.
Before loading the wash elements into the designated wash baskets, it is necessary to
eliminate any coarse residue resulting from previous activities, through the appropriate
wash, treatment, and rinse phases.
The load must be properly placed to prevent wash elements from overlapping as well as
the formation of “grey areas”; all areas of the wash load must be reached by the spray arm
and/or injectors’ water in the wash and rinse phases.
The open side of the container must face downward so that the load elements are correctly
washed and dried at the end of the cycle.
The machine is supplied without washing carts.
Please refer to the washing cart manuals for instructions on proper use.
The operator must avoid direct contact with the dirty load.
Use extreme caution by wearing all personal protective equipment both before and after
the treatment.
Before processing glassware or other objects in the instrument washer, check the
manufacturer instructions to verify that they are approved for automatic treatment in
the thermal disinfector and check the compatible maximum washing temperature.
Avoid introducing glassware with labels applied on: the labels, detaching during the
washing, can obstruct the washing filters, compromising the good success of the cycle.
