7.8 INFORMATION ON USE AND
SAFETY SPECIAL MEASURES
When carrying out the very first cycles,
check the following:
The user must reach and see the control
panel easily; if necessary, place an appro-
priate mobile platform. The drum must be
unloaded onto a trolley whose height must
not exceed the bottom edge of the door. If
necessary, install a bumper on the machine's
sides and front to avoid damage from trol-
leys.
Run the very first cycle with rags, since
manufacturing lubricant residue could have
remained in the drum.
7.9 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE BY
THE USER BEFORE CARRYING OUT
ANY MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT
THE APPLIANCE FROM THE POWER
MAINS BY THE WALL CUTOFF
SWITCH AND CLOSE GAS/STEAM
AND CONDENSATE STOPCOCKS.
Periodically clean the machine outer panels
with a damp cloth. Never use flammable or
abrasive products. Never wash the machine
using water jets.
Vacuum-clean inside the drum, on the front
bottom opening and under the filter lid as
deep as possible. Open the filter lid and
check that the mesh filter is in good working
order. Remove the filter and clean the ex-
haust fan.
WARNING!
Ensure that the fan is not moving before
cleaning.
PRIOR TO CONNECTING POWER SUP-
PLY AGAIN BY THE MAIN CUTOFF
SWITCH ON THE WALL, PUT ALL THE
PANELS REMOVED BACK IN PLACE.

8. INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTRAOR-
DINARY MAINTENANCE AND
ORDERING SPARE PARTS
8.1 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
In case of machine failure, ensure that
this is not due to any of the following
causes:
- The main cut-off switch on the wall may be
off: maybe the machine is not being pow-
ered.
- The gas/steam and/or condensate stop-
cocks may be closed.
- Gas/steam pressure may be poor.
- The door may be open..
- The filter lid may be open.
- The fluff filter may be clogged: clean.
- The start button may not have been pressed.
- Alarm may have tripped (cfr. alarms para-
graph).
- The laundry load may exceed drum capac-
ity (cfr. techical details chart following the
relevant model).
- The Electricity Company may have in-
verted the three-phase power phases enter-
ing the building: have them inverted by the
Electricity Company Service or by a skilled
electrician.
AFTER THESE CAUSES HAVE BEEN
EXCLUDED OR CLEARED, IF FAILURE

PERSIST,
AUTHORISED AFTER-SALES SERVICE
OR DEALER (CFR. LAST PAGE OF THIS
BOOLET).
If drying time is too long, ensure that this
is not due to any of the following causes:
- Excessive residual humidity in the laun-
dry: humidity must not exceed 120%.
- The flue duct may be too long, which
causes the temperature near the safety ther-
mostat to rise and the latter to trip, stopping
the heating.
- Incorrect cycle selection (time, tempera-
ture and parameters).
- Laundry load may be equal to or smaller
than rated values and technical details chart
values.
- Steam pressure may be poor (for steam-
heated models EMV S).
AFTER THESE CAUSES HAVE BEEN
EXCLUDED OR CLEARED, IF FAILURE
SHOULD
PERSIST,
AUTHORISED AFTER-SALES SERVICE
OR DEALER (CFR. LAST PAGE OF THIS
BOOLET.
If the laundry is too dry after the drying
cycle, ensure that this is not due to any of
the following causes:
- The humidity content in the laundry when
loaded may have been below the require-
ments.
- Improper cycle selection (time, tempera-
ture and parameters).
- The laundry load is way smaller than the
rated values.
- Steam pressure may be too high (for steam-
heated models EMV S).

8.2 SAFETY DEVICES
- If a potential drop should occur when the
machine in under operation, when power is
restored the machine gets reset and does not
resume operation unless the START/STOP
button is pressed.
- Door-open and filter-lid open warning
lamps.
23
- Poor air exchange warning lamp.
- Flame sensor that shuts gas supply when
the flame fails to stay lit.
- Overload switch in the exhaust fan motor
that shuts the machine down when trig-
gered.
- Drum motor electronic controller.
- TS safety thermostat.
- Malfunction alarms (cfr. alarms para-
graph).
8.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BY
TECHNICAL PERSONNEL
CALL
THE
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAIN-
TENANCE, DISCONNECT THE APPLI-
ANCE FROM THE POWER MAINS BY
THE WALL CUTOFF SWITCH AND
CLOSE GAS/STEAM AND CONDEN-
SATE STOPCOCKS.
Maintenance must be carried out only by the
authorised after-sales service or by qualified
personnel. Be very careful during mainte-
nance. NEVER override safety devices for
no reason whatsoever. Use original spare
parts. Should doubts arise, call our engi-
neering office at once, reporting appliance
model and serial number, as indicated in the
rating plate located on the back of the ma-
chine.
MONTHLY INSPECTION
Check all safety devices.
TS safety thermostat.
Ensure that the safety thermostat is in per-
CALL
THE
fect working order: if not, replace immedi-
ately. This replacement can only be done by
authorised personnel: DIY is strictly forbid-
den here.
Stopcocks must seal off gas/steam and con-
densate. To verify this, start the machine
and shut stopcocks: the flame must go out;
lack of steam must prevent heating; conden-
sate flow must be checked in the viewer.
Pressing the on-board button must cause
machine shutdown.
Opening the door must cause the drum to
stop.
Opening the filter lid must cause the ma-
chine to stop.
YEARLY INSPECTION
Check that the screws for electrical connec-
CALL
THE
tion are tight on the contactors and power
inlet terminal strip.
Clean thoroughly the fins on the electrical
heating elements, steam battery or gas burn-
ers, but use no corrosive chemicals or deter-
gents in doing so.
Make sure that the safety devices are oper-
ating correctly, i.e. the earthing system con-
nection and automatic circuit breaker.
Clean the flue ducts and main flue.
