2.3. Safety doors unlock (CACSHD-60/70/80 models only)

To open the door in case of power failure, completely insert a rod of a
diameter of 0.2 in (3 mm) and an approximate length of 4 inches (100
mm) into the bottom side of the safety lock cover, and at the same
time turn the knob downwards. (Fig. 2.2)

WARNING!

MANUAL OPENING OF THE SAFETY LOCK MUST ONLY BE
USED BEFORE THE START-UP OF THE MACHINE.
ONCE THE WASHER IS IN SERVICE, NEVER USE THE
MANUAL OPENING OF THE LOCK AS A USUAL WAY TO
OPEN THE DOOR.

2.4. Washer location Conditions

Never install washing 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).
In these installations, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for possible damages caused by
vibrations in the building structures.
The floor of the washer location must be a flat surface (refer to the indications on the INSTALLATION
SPECS, section 1.4) capable of supporting the weight of the washer without becoming distorted.
It is recommended a concrete location of RECOMMENDED MINIMUM RESISTANCE equal to or greater
than 250kg/cm2 (4000 psi)
Respect the ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS indicated on the INSTALLATION SPECS (section 1.4).Also,
respect the work and maintenance areas; these are necessary for the safe use and appropriate maintenance
of the washing machine.
Do not install the washer in improper vented areas. The products used can produce steam and gas products
emissions, which in high concentrations can be very dangerous to health.

TO REDUCE VIBRATION AND SOUND AND TO ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS CORRECTLY
BALANCED, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE FOUR BASE LEGS OF THE WASHING MACHINE REST
UNIFORMLY UPON THE FLOOR. DO NOT PLACE ANY TYPE OF ANTI-VIBRATORY DEVICE
BETWEEN THE WASHER AND THE FLOOR.

NEVER INSTALL THE WASHER OVER AREAS BUILT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
IF WASHERS ARE INSTALLED ON METALLIC SURFACES, AN ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR
INDEPENDENT TO THE WASHER GROUND MUST GROUND THESE SURFACES.
