 Safety Instructions 2

WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:

1. READ all instructions before using the washer and KEEP them in a prominent location for customer use.

2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they GIVE OFF VAPORS that could
ignite or explode.

3. DO NOT ADD gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for
such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

5. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. CLOSE SUPERVISION of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children.

6. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, REMOVE the door.

7. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE WASHER’S DOOR if the drum is moving.

8. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the WEATHER.

9. DO NOT TAMPER with controls.

10. DO NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE any part of the washer or attempt any servicing, unless specifically
recommended in the user instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

11. DO NOT BY-PASS any safety device. It is NOT ACCEPTED ANY electric or mechanic MODIFICATION
OR MANIPULATION. DO NOT INSTALL foreign components inside the machine.

12. All SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS included in the Instruction Handbooks, should be reprinted and posted in the
laundry room.

13. Failure to install and operate this machine according to the Instruction Handbooks or to work safety and
hygiene standards and common sense, may result in conditions which CAN PRODUCE bodily injury or
loss of life.

14. The DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and IMPORTANT instructions appearing in the Instruction
Handbooks are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood that common sense, caution and carefulness are factors which cannot be built into this
machine. These factors MUST BE supplied by the person(s) transporting, installing, maintaining, or
operating the machine.

15. All connections for electrical power and plumbing MUST comply with the statutory safety standards
applicable to each country, and be made by Licensed Installers only (refer to note 3).

 Safety Instructions 3

16. WARNING!
MACHINE INSPECTION, FILTER CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, SERVICE OR PARTS REPLACEMENT.
Before attempting any service or inspection of the washing machine:
Close and mechanically interlock the water supply valves and check that machine has COMPLETELY
drained, parts have cooled down and that no pieces are in movement through inertia.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
• COMPLETELY disconnect the machine from the original power source and check for accidental
reconnection. MOVING THE ON SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
• Disconnect the electrical power of the external dosing to the washing machine. These circuits are
independent of the washer’s supply.
• Wait a minimum of (5) five minutes after disconnection to ensure the elimination of residual voltage within
the machine.
Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury.

17. NEVER operate the machine without the panels and guards correctly in place and secured.

18. The room SHALL comply with the environment conditions (air venting, temperature, humidity...) specified in
the Installation Instruction Handbook. NEVER INSTALL THE WASHING MACHINE in very humid
environments or with water splashes.

19. DO NOT OPERATE the machine if it is suspected to be faulty, either visually, by noise or smell, or with
missing or broken parts.

20. Machine start-up SHALL be made by Authorised Service Technicians (refer to note 2).

21. Machine SHALL BE USED by qualified personnel (refer to note 1), wholly familiar with the machine’s
operation.

22. DO NOT allow children or people with handicaps incompatible to machine use to operate machine.

23. To minimise the possibility of creating a fire, take SPECIAL care, KEEP appliance area free from
combustible materials and fire extinguishers should be easily ACCESSIBLE to all laundry staff.

24. Delimitate danger areas and PREVENT public access to them with machine in operation.

25. On completion of the day's work, TURN OFF the manual supply valves and DISCONNECT the electrical
power by the External Automatic Switch.

26. Always CONTACT an Authorised Service Technician or Licensed Installer (refer to notes 2 & 3) about any
problems or conditions you do not understand.

27. For a safe operation, machine MUST be kept in a good environment, used and maintained properly, and
serviced annually by Authorised Service Technicians (refer to note 2).

28. The Distributor (seller) IS OBLIGED to thoroughly train the operator during the starting-up.

THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL
INFORMATION IN THE CORRESPONDING HANDBOOKS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CONSERVATION

1. EXPECTED MACHINE USE AND DON’TS. This machine has been made and designed for washing or
cleansing in a water bath, linen and textile materials without solvent impregnation or explosives. Unless
approved by the manufacturer in writing, it is not considered appropriate FOR OTHER PROCESSES.

2. Machine MATERIALS in contact with wash products are:

• Stainless Steel AISI-304 L.
• Polypropylene PP.
• EPDM and NBR.
• Borosilicate glass.
The chemicals furnisher and the machine owner will be responsible to assure that the products ARE
COMPATIBLE and will not produce machine oxidation or damage.
Notice that the hypochlorite (bleach), in certain conditions of use, generates chlorine gas.
The chlorine is a corrosive and oxidizing substance that, in elevated concentrations and temperature,
deteriorates the stainless steel and elastomers.
There are other highly oxidizing agents, such as the ozone, that can cause the same effect.

3. Periodically CLEAN machine, to prevent metallic parts corrosion, to produce higher output and for a longer
life. To clean the washing machine, use water and detergent, rinse with a damp cloth, and dry.

4. NEVER use harsh products to clean the machine and laundry room. There are products on the market,
which are highly corrosive.

5. If machine is left idle for long periods of time, it must be PROTECTED from humidity and temperature
variations.

6. FOLLOW the fabric care instructions supplied by the manufacturer, GIRBAU S.A., REFUSES ANY
RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE OF TEXTILE WEAR AND TEAR.

7. Failure due to improper machine operation may VOID WARRANTY.

8. Replacing any part of the washer can affect the machine’s security.
Examples:
• Just a screw or bolt of insufficient strength could cause dangerous damage.
• A heater without an internal fuse could provoke a fire.
• An inadequate clamp can be the cause of water leaks and short circuits... etc.
The reason for which ONLY ORIGINAL GIRBAU SPARE PARTS MUST BE USED.

The incompliance of this precaution may result in a washer breakdown, a serious accident, and loss of the
warranty.

9. When asking for information on your machine, MENTION model and serial number (serial plate is located
at the rear side).

10. THE ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM IS LOCATED IN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE WASHER’S TOP COVER.

 Transport and Location 12

2. TRANSPORT AND LOCATION

2.1 Transport of crated machines

ALWAYS USE TRANSPORT METHODS WHICH ARE SUITABLE FOR THE WEIGHT AND VOLUME OF
THE WASHER. CHECK THE VALUES ON THE PACKAGING AND THE INSTALLATION SPECS (section
1.4) OF THIS MANUAL.

• Before moving the washer, check the instructions of the packaging pictograms.
• Unit must be transported in the upright position.
• Protect the machine from rain and dampness
• Avoid blows and shocks.
• It is preferable to transport the washer with its packaging using a forklift and by lifting it from its base.
Never move the machine by pushing on the sides of the packaging.
• Position the washer with crating as near as possible to the final location.

2.2 Washer location. Conditions.

INSTALLATION ON UPPER FLOORS.

Do not install the machines on suspended floors or above ground level without obtaining approval
from the appropriate qualified technician (structural engineer for building safety and noise
transmission).
See floor static & dynamic strength requirements on INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS (section 1.4).
The manufacturer refuses any responsibility for damage (caused by the vibrations) to the building
structure in these cases.

The floor of the washer location must be a flat surface (refer to the indications on the INSTALLATION
SPECS, section 1.4)

Respect the ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS indicated on the INSTALLATION SPECS (section 1.4 and
2.3). Also, respect the work and maintenance areas; these are necessary for the safe use and appropriate
maintenance of the washing machine.
