INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
This appliance is equipped with following technical documents:
- Manual “INSTALLATION AND USE” (which you are reading)
- technical sheet
- wiring diagram
- Declaration of Conformity to EC Directive
The instructions contained in this manual provide important information regarding safety for installing, operating and
maintaining the appliance. The manufacturer recommends to carefully store this manual near the machine where it can
be consulted by technicians and operators.
The installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions and by professionally qualified and
expert personnel.
This appliance must be connected to supply mains through a fix main switch only.
Never leave packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, nails, etc.) within reach of children since it can be potentially
dangerous.
Install the electric, water and drain lines in the wash area according to the instructions given in the technical sheet of the
machine.
SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
Carry the machine to the installation site and remove its packaging materials. Check that the appliance is in perfect
condition. If it shows signs of damage, immediately inform the seller and the forwarder about this damage.
If there is any doubt do not use the appliance until it has been checked by authorised personnel.
THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FORWARDER. THE PERSON
ACCEPTING THE DELIVERY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING IT FOR DAMAGE AND SHOULD SEND ANY
CLAIMS DIRECTLY TO THE FORWARDER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE.
Place the machine in position and level it by rotating the adjustable feet.
To prevent damage caused by steam coming out of the appliance during normal operation, make sure that the materials
nearby will not deteriorate if exposed to steam.
Before connecting the machine to the water supply and the electric mains, make sure that the general characteristics
and technical data indicated by the manufacturer on the data plate (C-3) and the technical sheet, have been taken into
due consideration during the preparation of the installation site. Operations must be carried out exclusively with original
parts. Only these, in fact, can guarantee perfect conformity of our machines with the project data.
Unauthorised maintenance which is not carried out by qualified personnel and with non original spare parts, will
invalidate the guarantee.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Water supply
Before connecting the appliance to the water supply, make sure that there is a gate valve in between in order to be able
to interrupt the water supply whenever necessary or in case of maintenance works.
The minimum water supply pressure, measured at the machine water intake during final rinsing (flow pressure), must not
be lower than 180 kPa (1,8 bar) or higher than 400 kPa (4 bar), even with other open taps on the same supply line.
To prevent pressure or charge drops, we recommend that each machine should be connected to its own supply pipeline,
which should be sufficiently short and of adequate section. A booster rinse pump, available as an option, must be
installed in case the supply pressure is lower than the minimum pressure required.
If the static pressure is higher than 600 kPa (6 bar), then a pressure reducer must be installed upstream from the supply
pipeline.
Make sure that the supply water temperature is equal to the values given in technical sheet.
To obtain good washing results, we recommended to use supply water with a hardness of 7 to 12°F. If the hardness is
higher than 12°F and the machine has no built-in water softener, we recommend to install a water softener upstream
from the fill-up solenoid valve, rated for a residual hardness of 5/7°F.
GOOD MACHINE OPERATION DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON COMPLIANCE WITH THESE VALUES.
Use a flexible hose to connect the fill-up solenoid valve to the water supply tap.
Respect all current National or Regional regulations.
Draining
The drain pipe must be connected to a well or to an air-trap on the floor. Make sure that the drain pipelines in the wash
area are not choked and that they guarantee a quick water outflow. The wall drain pipe must withstand at least 70°C.
This appliance has a gravity drain, therefore the drain should be lower than the tank outlet. If the machine is equipped
with a drain pump, the position of the drain can be on a wall but its position cannot be higher than the value indicated in
fig.D.
