This machine has been designed to wash or treat most materials. Its use for other purposes than those given is considered as undue and dangerous. The machine should be loaded with the nominal load, smaller or bigger loads should be avoided. Clothes should not be washed in sacks or cloth bags. If this is absolutely necessary, make sure the machine is loaded to the nominal load to avoid possible unbalanced loads. Canvas, waterproof items, mops, carpets or rugs should not be spun. The machine is controlled using a microprocessor able to adapt to the needs of each user. There are 16 programmes for which the times and temperatures can be changed. They are divided into four sections with different spin settings and treatments: Normal, Delicates, synthetics and fast. For further details, please see the sections Configuration (page 68) and Standardised Programmes (page 68). The machine has an intelligent control to control the water temperature; if hot water is available, it should be connected. The machine adjusts the different water inputs to maintain the programmed temperature. It has intelligent control for spin cycle management. The washing machine controls any unbalanced loads and manages the spin to ensure a good spin, reducing noise and extending the useful life of wearable components, thus significantly reducing fatigue in the mechanical components. The machine offers the “Express” system. By pressing one key you automatically reduce the programme time, thus adapting to user requirements without needing to change the machine configuration. Extra rinse option. Press one key to add another rinse to the programme, thus adapting to user requirements without needing to change the machine configuration.

2.3.1 Programme execution

In order to carry out a wash programme, the following steps should be followed:

1- Put dirty clothes in washing machine drum

2- Close washing machine door.

After starting a programme, the LEDs indicate its condition and evolution.

With the START key the programme stops, and pauses. If you want the programme to continue, press the Start key again. If the programme is in spin mode, it is not possible to pause the machine, and therefore pressing the START key will have no effect.

The programme can finish in several ways: Normal end: the programme finishes when all cycles have been carried out. Pressing the EXPRESS key when the washing machine is in PAUSE mode. By pressing the ADVANCE key from any point in the programme, repeatedly, the end of the programme can be reached. If a spin is being carried out, the ADVANCE key will not respond until the braking safety time has finished (approx 1 min.). When a programme ends, before allowing the door to be opened, the clothes are untangled during 30 seconds. An acoustic signal when the door can be opened after this process.ENGLISH

Use the INC (∧) and DEC (∨) keys to change the yes/no, press >> (advance) to change the programme and Start to end. If no programme is selected, the defect programme, P1 is active. If, for example, programmes P1, P4, P5, P8 and P14 are selected, correlative numbers are displayed on the operation screen: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5.

The key >> can be deactivated, to prevent the advance of a cycle thus ensuring the wash programme is completed correctly. ON activated, OFF deactivated (activated by defect)

The Express function may be switched off. This function slightly alters the wash cycles and times to give shorter cycles. ON activated, OFF deactivated (activated by defect)

The extra rinse key can be switched off, eliminating the option to add an extra rinse. ON activated, OFF deactivated (activated by defect)

3.5 Stop (Thermal stop switch)

When the thermal stop switch is activated, the cycle time does not start until the programmed temperature has been reached in order to guarantee the wash cycle is correctly completed; this switch can be deactivated so that the time is counted from the moment the programmed level is reached. ON activated, OFF deactivated (activated by defect)

3.6 LEuL (Configuration of levels)

The water levels can be varied; there are three different settings:

1- Low (factory setting)

If the configuration is modified, this will affect all the levels of water used. Press start and the current level is displayed (Leu1), use the INC and DEC (∧,∨) keys to change the level to suit your needs. Press Start again to confirm the level selected.ENGLISH

It is possible to modify the time and temperature of each phase and even delete phases. First, refer to the table of Standardised Programmes to confirm which blocks are in the programme you wish to modify. Next, enter this block and modify the parameters as follows:

1- When bLOC is displayed on the screen,

2- B 1 is displayed, press the INC and DEC

The configuration of the machine is different for self- service models. There is no mains switch on the control panel. To switch the machine on and off, use the switch (circuit breaker) at the rear of the machine. Only those keys required to run a programme are displayed; the “Express”, “extra rinse” and advance

keys are switched off although they can be activated in the configuration menu (page 9). Warning! For safety reasons, access to configuration is not the same as in non-self-service machines. Please ask your distributor (vendor) for details on the corresponding method. Remember that these keys are used in the configuration menus, therefore you should know exactly which function each key corresponds to. The “Timr” (time remaining) option is activated by default, it can be switched off in the configuration menu (see section 3.8). By defect, only 4 programmes are activated: Self-service programmes

Whites/coloureds 60 ºC

Whites/coloureds 30 ºC

Whites/coloureds cold wash

Synthetics cold wash

Remember that the customer is only shown the active programmes, and these are always shown in correlative order beginning with P1. Self-service machines can be operated using different devices:

1- Pay centre (standard configuration)

The self-service washing machine is delivered with Pay Centre configuration (CP). For the coin and card operated options, it is necessary to install the corresponding “kits” sold separately. Please ask your distributor for further information. To change the washing machine configuration, go to CONF/PAY (see section 3) and select the required option. There are two operating modes:

The different functions in each case are shown below:

Use this option if the washing machine is a pay centre model or the card kit has been installed. Programme execution In order to carry out a wash programme, the following steps should be followed:

1- Place dirty washing in the machine.

4- Insert card or coins in the pay centre

The price rate is the same for all the programmes. To change the price, please see the pay centre manual or the card reader if using card payments.

Use this option if the machine has been installed with the coin kit. In order to carry out a wash programme, the following steps should be followed:

1- Place dirty washing in the machine.

The programme number and price are shown on the screen intermittently; use the INC and DEC (∧,∨) keys to change the programme and the price will beENGLISH

updated. If there is no activity to the keys or in the coin slot after 30 seconds, the word “FREE” is displayed on the screen, indicating that the machine is available. Press any button to view the programmes. With this type of coin-operated machine, a different price can be allocated to each programme. Two new submenus, DIV and Pric, are displayed in the configuration menu and can be used to allocate the corresponding currency and price. Div: The coin slot has a different setting for each currency. Please refer to the coin kit manual and confirm that the installed coin kit accepts your currency. Allocate the currency to the washing machine programmer. The table below shows the available currencies:
