    Safety instructions Disconnect the electrical connection of any circuit external to the machine; for example external dosing equipment, external vending units, folders or ironer feeders. These circuits are independent of the supply to the machine. Before beginning any procedure on machines equipped with an inverter or equipment with capacitative loads, wait for at least five minutes (10 minutes on equipment with a power rating greater than 25 kW) after the electrical disconnection, to eliminate risk of residual voltage.
