Some problems can not be defined with the help of alarm messages on the display of the microprocessor,
but can be checked with other methods. Such errors, like mechanical damage, steering can not detect but
can be evaluated based on volume, temperature, and precision. These errors can be addressed only by
the manufacturer of the machine or well-trained maintenance technician.

7. RISKS

7.1. DANGERS WHILE WORKING WITH THE MACHINE

Everything written here describes how the machine should not be

treated!
Bear this in mind constantly, because failure to do so could put
people’s health or even life in danger.
Furthermore, the linen or the machine could be damaged, or the linen

Power failure
While the machine is working power failures are possible and cannot be
foreseen. This is why they can cause an unwanted disruption in the washing
process, primarily if the program is aborted while warming to 90 degrees.
When the power failure occurs the outlet valve is opened and warm water runs
out of the machine. Because the linen has not been completely washed, the
procedure must be repeated and the detergent box refilled.

Danger of crushing or injuring your hands

• It is forbidden to put your hand or palm into the gap between the casing and the front wall of the
outer drum.
• It is forbidden to put your hand or palm between the machine door and the door frame of the
outer drum when closing the door.
• It is forbidden to put your fingers between the door frame of the outer and inner drum, or to push
your fingers into the gap.
• Violently opening the door while washing or spinning is forbidden.
• Reaching into the area of a spinning drum for any reason is forbidden; you may hurt your arm.
• It is also prohibited to open the door for any other reason.
• Your fingers could get stuck while fitting or dismantling the belts, that is why these jobs must be
done by an authorized person.

Danger of skidding, slipping and falling because of slippery floors

Broken water pipes or leakages from the liquid dosage connectors, from the outlet valve or water hoses
can make the floor wet and the possibility of falling is enormous. The machine must be stopped, the
leakage of liquid must be stopped and the floor must be wiped dry.

The danger of hot water or steam spurting - scalding

There is a danger of hot water or steam spurting from broken or loose fittings.
If you notice this, stop the machine working and cut off the electricity and water and steam inlets...

Danger because of electric current

It is forbidden to open the covers and intervene inside the machine (electrical cabin,
frequency transformer, door locks, micro-switches, outlet valve) because of an abnormality
while the machine is working and connected to the electrical mains supply.

Danger of burning

• It is possible to get burnt while the water is heating up to 90°C, if we touch the door or the glass
on the door.
• It is possible to get scalded with hot water when violently opening the machine door during the
water heating phase.
• It is possible to get scalded with steam while the water is heating to 90°C and while removing the
cover of the detergent dosing box.
• If you use highly inflammable substances (which are forbidden) when washing or cleaning, the
linen could catch fire and burnings occur.

Chemical related dangers

There are special risks, which could be very dangerous, which can occur when
using liquid washing products, chiefly bleaches, if the bottles containing the
chemicals are accidentally switched with other chemicals in the place where they
normally are.
Special care should be taken when changing the containers with fluid chemicals
and you should also use protective clothing!

Danger of inhaling chemicals

If you use highly volatile products (for washing or cleaning) dangerous toxic vapours can be produced.
To avoid inhaling them, adequate high quality ventilation for laundry rooms must be guaranteed.

Protective equipment

The type of protective equipment which the user must use while
working with the machine is determined by following the instructions
of the manufacturer’s of the chemical product in the laundry room and
by considering eventual health contraindications (biological, chemical)
for textile fabrics which are washed and also any legally prescribed
requirements for the handling area.

Warning related to the quality of the washing and potential machine damages
The machine or linen can be damaged while washing or the linen could be poorly washed.

Make sure you:

• Sort the linen correctly (white, coloured, synthetics, wool...)

• do not overfill or under-fill the machine bearing in mind the type and level of dirtiness of the linen
• select the appropriate washing program considering the type of linen be washed
• Do not use too much or too little detergent.
• Check if the level of liquid chemicals in the liquid detergent containers is always high enough to
be pumped into the machine. If you do not do this and the liquid dosage system is not equipped
with the optional automatic device for indicating when the individual dosage vessel is empty, then
the linen will not be perfectly washed!
