IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND PRESERVATION
1. INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE AND INAPPROPRIATE USE. This machine is conceived and
designed only for processing fabrics in a water bath or those that have previously been treated under these
conditions. Any use other than this is contraindicated without written authorisation from the manufacturer.
2. Maximum output, performance, reliability and durability are achieved when the machine is installed, used
and maintained correctly, and if a comprehensive and detailed service is carried out annually by the
Authorised Technical Service.
The machine's MATERIALS that are in direct contact with the chemical products involved in treating the
3.
laundry are detailed in the manual.
4. The user must consult the supplier of the chemical products USED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE LINEN
TREATMENT PROCESS regarding the risks associated with its products and their combination. It must be
confirmed that the products are not flammable, ARE MUTUALLY COMPATIBLE, and that they will not
cause oxidisation or deterioration of the machine or any injury to the people using them.
It should be noted that, under certain usage conditions, hypochlorite (bleach) generates chlorine gas.
Chlorine is a corrosive, oxidising substance which, at high concentrations and temperatures, damages
stainless steel and elastomers.
This same effect can also be caused by other strongly oxidising agents, including ozone.
5. FOLLOW the treatment recommendations for each fabric indicated by its manufacturer. THE
MANUFACTURER OF THE MACHINE ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY
INAPPROPRIATE TREATMENT OF A FABRIC.
6. Periodically CLEAN the outside of the machine to prevent damage to its metal parts. This will improve
safety and extend its life. To clean the machine, use water and detergent. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
To remove accumulated lint, use a suitable vacuum cleaner. Water jet or pressurised steam cleaning is
prohibited.
7. NEVER use aggressive products to clean the machine or the premises. There are products on the market
that give off highly corrosive vapours.
8. If machine is left idle for long periods of time, it must be PROTECTED from humidity and temperature
variations.
9. Faults arising from improper machine operation may VOID WARRANTY.
10. When asking for information on your machine, MENTION the model and serial number. This information
can be found on the characteristics plate incorporated into the machine.
11. With every machine, the manufacturer provides all necessary technical information and the documents
required for its use. KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION.
