2 SAFETY
The machine has a number of built-in safety mechanisms. To avoid
injury, it is highly important not to bypass these safety
mechanisms.
2.1 Important
• Read the manual in its entirety before use.
• The machine must be connected in accordance with the
instructions provided in the installation manual.
• The machine should only be handled by authorized
personnel. Personnel must also receive regular training.
• Exercise caution when using the machine because, it uses
hot water and possibly steam.
• Exercise caution when handling the chemical agent used in
the machine. Follow the instructions on the agent container:
o
if the agent is swallowed, comes into contact with the
eyes or skin or if vapors are inhaled.
o
for instructions on dosage amount and washing
temperatures.
o
for instructions regarding storage and sorting/disposal of
packing.
• Make sure that the machine has access to detergent before
the process starts. This is important both for the operation of
the machine and for keeping the washing chamber free off
staining.

• Do not wash down or hose down the machine with water.
• Installation and service work must be performed by trained

circumstances.

the machine is operating. This overrules safety and the
operation of the machine.

followed.

companies.
