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.
5.5 WATER CONNECTION
The washing machine is fitted with a warm
water inlet (approximately 60°C) and two
cold water inlets - hard and soft - both of 3/
4''.
The incoming water pressure must be
comprised between 0.5 and 5 bar (0.05 and
0.5 MPa).
Provide for wall couplings at a distance not
exceeding the length of the pipes supplied.
If a warm water source is not available,
mount a T pipe on the soft cold water coupling
and connect all three inlets to the cold water
pipe. All three inlets must anyway be fed
water.
Model
Capacity of boiler
Mod. 8
55 litres
Mod.11
80 litres
Mod.18
120 litres
Mod.22
155 litres
When the connection is done make sure that
the pipes are not crushed or blocked.
5.6 STEAM CONNECTION (steam-
heated machines only)
The washing machine is fitted with a 3/4"
steam inlet. The incoming steam pressure
must be between 1 and 6 bar (0.05 and 0.6
MPa). The recommended pressure for best
machine performance is between 4 and 6
bar. If doubts should arise, read the rating
plate data. Steam is intended as saturated
and dry.
For model 22, the water in the tub can be only
be heated directly, whereas for models 8-11-
18 it 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 3/4").
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 pipes are not crushed or blocked.
5.7 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) when the machine is not powered.
Therefore, the floor drain must always be
below the machine drain outlet. The diameter
of the floor drain must never be smaller than
that of the supplied hose.
Model
Drain flow-rate
Mod. 8/11/18/22
160 l/min.
The draining pipe must be able to resist a
temperature of 90°C.
Install a trap between the hose supplied and
the drain.
Check that the hose is not crushed or blocked.
5.8 AIR BREAK
The washing machine is equipped with an
air-break device to stop wastewater from
flowing back into the drinkable water system
in the event of a depression. This device has
a rear outlet that may liberate innocuous
steam during heating. Do not close or couple
the air-break outlet.
THE GUARANTEE DOES NOT
COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY
INCORRECT INSTALLATION.

6.3 INFORMATION ABOUT THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The built-in electrical system is composed
of protection and control devices duly lodged
on a plate at the top part of the machine. The
relevant diagrams and lists appear later on
in this manual.
6.4 DOCUMENTS THAT CERTIFY
MACHINE CONFORMITY
The washing machine described in this
booklet complies with the following
directives:
73/23 EEC, 93/68 EEC, 89/336 EEC, 92/
31 EEC, 93/68/EEC
and harmonised norms:

EN55104.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND
ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
7.1 OPERATION
As soon as the washing machine is switched
on, the display reads the software version
installed and the software release date for a
few seconds.
CAUTION!
The release date refers to the software
installed and has nothing to do with
machine assembly or testing and is no
reference date for guarantee purposes.
The display then lists various details, i.e,
from top left:
- the number denoting the program selected.
- the maximum wash temperature that the
program achieves.
- the length of the whole program, including
water in-taking and draining, heating and
cooling down. Such time values are those
that the machine has stored in previous
equivalent cycles. Therefore they are not
binding but represent a mere reference.
- cycle type, i.e. whether it is delicate, medium
or strong.
- program name, e.g. whites, woollens,
curtains etc.
- the words "waiting for START" if the door
is closed or "door open" if it is open.
When either the " UP" or " DOWN" key is
pressed, the display reads the steps
composing the wash program for a few
seconds.
