4
level and sturdy surface. Align and level by the use of a spirit level.
For servicing purposes, it is advisable to leave a 500mm clearance
between the rear face of the machine and the wall behind.
Besides, when machines are installed in a line, leaving at least a
20mm clearance between one machine and the next is recommended.
Washing machines
Provide for a floor drain at an elevation below the machine drain,
that can be connected to the washing machine, using the supplied
elbow fitting.
CAUTION! Repeat levelling after moving the machine.
4.4.2 ALLOWABLE AMBIENT CONDITIONS FOR PROPER
SERVICE
Let these conditions be known to direct machine users.
-
TYPE OF ROOM: CLOSED
-
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE: 10°C (note: when ambient
temperature is below 10°C, electronic parts may work
irregularly)
-
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE: 40°C
-
RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 75% H.R.
-
LIGHTING: 100 LUX (value valid for Italy; given the variety
of regulations regarding luminance in working premises, for
other national provisions, refer to the specific national codes).
4.5 FOR ALL HIGH-SPEED WASHER MODELS AND
VERSIONS: TILT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
All high-speed washers are equipped with a device that terminates
spinning steps when severe imbalance poses a threat to the
mechanical parts composing the machine.
To reach this safety device open the machine's top cover (cfr.
relevant instructions in the manual section For the repair personnel).
This device is at the topmost point of the tub. Adjust this switch only
after the wall cutoff switch was turned off and the machine was
disconnected from the power mains.
Adjustment of this switch is reserved for the authorised and
qualified personnel.
This device consists of a microswitch that is fixed to the machine's
frame. It is is driven by a flexible rod located inside a metal window
that moves integral with the drum of the washer. When severe
vibrations occur, the window moves the rod and the safety device
trips (cfr. also alarm "E9" and alarm description).
During machine installation, after removing the transportation
brackets and with the drum empty, position the flexible rod at the
centre of the window, so that abnormal tripping of this safety device
is avoided.
For proper positioning, use the screws that fasten the support of the
microswitch and position this properly.
4.6 FOR ALL HIGH-SPEED WASHER MODELS AND
VERSIONS: WATER CONNECTION
Washers feature a warm water inlet (for approximately 60°C) and
two cold water inlets (cold and soft), ¾" and ½" in diameter (see
rating plate details for the specific model).
The incoming water pressure must be comprised between 0.5 and
5 bar (0.05 Mpa and 0.5 MPa).
Make arrangements for the distance from wall couplings not to
exceed the length of the piping attached.
If a warm water source is not available, mount a T pipe on the soft
cold water coupling and connect the warm water inlet too to the
cold-water source. As for cold and warm water consumption, refer
to the rating plate details for the specific model.
All machine water inlets must be fed water.
CAUTION! When assembly is complete, ensure that the piping is
not crushed and that water flows normally.
4.7 STEAM CONNECTION (STEAM-HEATED
MACHINES ONLY)
The equipment features a steam inlet for saturated dry steam. Inlet
diameter depends on the machine model (cfr. technical details).
The incoming steam pressure must be comprised between 1 and 6
bar (0.1 MPa and 0.6 MPa).
Refer to the rating plate details.
4.7.1 FOR ALL WASHER VERSIONS
The water in the tub can be heated either directly or indirectly. In
the latter instance, a connection for the recovery of condensed water
will have to be provided for (diameter as per technical details).
If the machine is subject to ISPESL inspection, keep all ISPESL
documents in the room where the washer is lodged.
When the connection is done make sure that the piping is not
crushed or blocked.
4.8 DRAIN CONNECTION
Make certain that the distance between the machine drain outlet
and the floor drain is not longer than the drain elbow supplied.
Water is drained through a direct-action motor-driven valve that
stays open (by gravity - no pump) when the machine is not powered.
Therefore, the floor drain must always be below the drain outlet of
the machine. The diameter of the floor drain must never be smaller
than the diameter of the hose supplied.
Drain flow rate and diameter: refer to the rating plate data for the
specific model.
CAUTION!
- The draining pipe must be able to resist a temperature of 90°C.
- Install a U-trap between the hose supplied and the drain.
- Check that the piping is not crushed or blocked.
4.9 AIR BREAK
The washing machine is equipped with an air-break device that
stops wastewater from flowing back into the drinkable water system
in the event of a depression. This device has a rear or side outlet that
may release innocuous steam during heating. Do not close or couple
the air-break outlet.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED
BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION.
