
When installing this machine, it must be securely fixed to the floor.
Failure to do this could result in personal injury, damage to the ma-
chine and damage to other objects and installations.

The use of industrial laundry machines on vessels operating on in-
land waterways and within the 3-mile zone is only permitted if the
machine is approved for the country or countries in question. This
does not affect use on vessels in international waters, including sea-
ports.
General operating conditions
This washing machine is intended only for use in a commercial envir-
onment and must only be operated indoors.
- Ambient temperature: 0-40 °C
- Relative humidity: non-condensing
- Maximum height above sea level of location site: 2000 m
Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and
vibration may occur.
Tip: Have the installation site inspected and seek the advice of a pro-
fessional in instances where increased noise may cause a nuisance.
Transportation and site access
The machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place.
Keep the transit bars in a safe place. They must be refitted if the ma-
chine is to be moved again (e.g. when relocating the machine).
Installation
Transport the washing machine to its installation site using a suitable
pallet truck and remove the transport packaging.
The washing machine must be set up on a completely level, hori-
zontal and firm surface with the minimum stated load bearing capa-
city (see "Technical data").
Tip: A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface. It is far
less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards
or a carpeted surface.
The floor load created by the washing machine is the load exerted
by the area of the machine in contact with and transferred to the in-
stallation surface.
The washing machine requires a gap of at least 50 mm on each side
to allow for movement during operation. Please ensure a minimum
distance of 400 mm is maintained between the rear of the appliance
and the rear wall.
The washing machine must not be installed on a carpeted floor.
The feet of the washing machine must be secured to the fastening
points on the floor using the fittings supplied.
