UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

WARNING:

The unit must be installed, opened and repaired by fully qualified technicians only.

6.1 UNPACKING

Find the most suitable place where to put the machine, then remove the packaging. Make sure that the machine
has not been damaged during the transport and the storage.
The packaging material does not require any special precautions for its disposal, for it is not dangerous or polluting
at all. Please refer to the local regulations for its disposal.

6.2 MACHINE

INSTALLATION

The machine has not to be anchored to the floor. For a correct use and operation, as well as for an easy
maintenance, leave enough free space around the machine.
Do not place the machine in dangerous and/or explosive/inflammable areas.

6.3 ELECTRICAL

WIRING

The electrical wiring must be carried out as indicated on the drawing. Check that the supply voltage and the
frequency correspond to those indicated on the rating plate.
The dimensions of the supply cable must suit the machine absorption and comply with the current regulations.
It is advisable to install a switch with fuses or a circuit breaker on the line.

WARNING:

After having carried out all the electrical connections, make sure that the cables are protected against

any possible hits and are suitably fixed and isolated.

9 PRECAUTIONS

Read carefully the instructions and the risks related to the use of an ironing table. The operator has to know its
working functions and must clearly understand its dangers with the help of the manual.

Main electrical supply

Prior to carrying out any inspection or service on the machine, it is necessary to disconnect it from the main
electrical supply. Make sure, that nobody can reconnect it during the technical service.
Every installed electrical or electronic equipment must be earthed.

In flammability

Adopt all the necessary precautions to avoid any direct contact of the machine with hot materials or flames. Put fire
extinguishers near the machine for an immediate intervention in event of fire.

Pressure / Steam

Prior to any intervention, switch the boiler first off, wait until all the pipes are cooled down and check that there are
no residual pressures inside the boiler or in any branch of the hydraulic circuit, as they could cause steam spurts, in
case of disassembly of fittings or other components.

Noise

The machine’s noise level is not very high, as it remains under 70dB (A).
