Operation
5.1 Door Lock Operation
The lock system uses a ”‘push-to-open / push-to-close”’ style mechanism which differentiates it
from any other door lock in the industry. This design was developed as a result of analyzing the
shortcomings of other door lock mechanisms on the market. It hence has many fundamental safety
and mechanical advantages.
5.1.1 Opening and Closing the Door
To open the door the machine must not be running a wash program – ”‘CY01”’ or the last program
executed should be displayed on the control. Simply push and release the door handle with the
palm of your hand. As you push the handle in the door lock solenoid will energize and the pin
will retract and release the door. Then as you release the pressure on the handle the door will be
free and you can pull it open. To close the door swing it closed, then push the handle firmly until
you hear the solenoid engage, releasing the door lock pin to lock the door. When you start a wash
program the door lock is securely disabled so that the door cannot be accidentally opened.
5.1.2 Periodic Maintenance
• The door should be tested every day for safe operation by trying to start a program with
the door open. If the machine will begin operation in this state it should immediately be
removed from service, locked out, and a qualified service technician called to repair it.
• If the door lock is malfunctioning in any way, the machine should immediately be removed
from service, locked out, and a qualified service technician called to repair it.
•
The door lock pin and handle hinge should be lubricated with ”‘silicon spray lube”’ monthly.
