Intended use


The washing machine is only suitable for washing fabrics with a
care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any
other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or op-
eration of the machine.

This washing machine must be used as described in the operating
instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it
is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when ne-
cessary.

The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperatures
below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or burst-

peratures below freezing point.

This washing machine is intended only for use in a commercial en-
vironment.



This washing machine is only intended for items of laundry which
have not been impregnated with dangerous or inflammable sub-


For disinfection procedures, use temperatures, holding times, li-
quor ratios and, if necessary, disinfectants to achieve the required in-
fection prophylaxis in accordance with guidelines and microbiological
and hygienic standards.

Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have
a limiting effect on the disinfection result. It is the operator's respons-
ibility to ensure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as
chemo thermal procedures is maintained by carrying out suitable val-
idation tests.

If the laundry has special result quality requirements, such as rins-
ing result, an absence of particles, wettability and liquid permeability,
the procedure must be validated accordingly. The supervisor must
guarantee the reprocessing standard with regular quality checks.

Do not store or use petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable sub-
stances near the washing machine. There is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.

If the washing machine is operated in a publicly accessible place, it
is the supervisor's responsibility to ensure that suitable measures are
in place to protect users from any source of risk or danger.
