Installation and connection
Ground
The machine must be placed on a flat, solid surface (metal base, concrete or solid
ground). It is recommended that the machine be anchored on the provided places
(A) in the base, especially in case of a plinth. (See Dimensions 2)
The machine must be placed entirely level. For easy maintenance it is recommen-
ded to keep a minimal distance of 600 mm between the wall and the back of the
machine.
If several machines are placed next to each another, there should be a minimal
distance of 30 mm between each machine.
Removing the transport brackets
To prevent damage during transportation, the machine has been equipped with
two red transport brackets (D) to eliminate every possible movement of the tub.
After the machine has been placed level, take off the service panel and remove
these transport brackets.
Important
The machine must never be activated before removing these transport
brackets.
The machine is delivered with hoses with 3/4" connections. These hoses fit the
water inlet valves of the machine and the main water inlet taps. To ensure the
optimal functioning of the water inlet valves, the water pressure on the inlet
should be between 0,5 and 10 kg/cm² (7 and 145 psi). If the pressure is too low,
the cycle time will increase considerably.
In case of boiler fed machines, a minimum of hot water of 90°C should be available:
For the HF145: 110l. HF205: 135l.
For the HF176: 125l. HF234: 150l.
