5.3 COMPLETE APPLICATION RANGE
Your washing machine was designed to wash synthetics, woolens,
cottons and linens. Choose your cycle by the appropriate button as
suggested on the labels attached to the garments to be washed.
5.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DETAILS
The built-in electrical system is composed of protection and control
devices duly lodged on a plate in the top part of the machine. The
relevant diagrams and lists appear later on in this manual.
6. WASHER OPERATION
Make sure that the cold water, warm water and steam taps are open
(the latter applies only to steam-heated machines).
Turn ON the automatic overcurrent circuit breaker on the wall. If
the door is closed, the machine will then be ready to be started using
the appropriate button (START/STOP) on the front panel.
To select and start a cycle and also to program optional functions,
refer to the block diagrams later on in this manual.
Make your cycle selection following the temperature and wash
action suggested in the labels attached to the garments (see cycle
description below), sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
load the drum and close the door.
Then fill the various dispenser bins with soap (foam-damping type)
according to cycle selection, i.e.:
A prewash compartment
(when scheduled in the selected wash
cycle)
B main wash compartment
C compartment for optional conditioning agent
(when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
D compartment for optional conditioning agent
(when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
E compartment for optional conditioning agent
(when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
ECONOMY FUNCTION WARNING:
This function simply reduces the amount of water and soap used
with reference to factory-foreseen amounts. NOT to be interpreted
as "half-load button".
To start the cycle, press the START / STOP push button with the
door closed: The door will automatically be locked. Cycle progress
will be shown on the control panel display unit.
Pressure on the START / STOP button also causes the timer to
commence the countdown to the end of the cycle.
Such time values are those that the machine has stored in a previous
equivalent cycles. Therefore they are not binding but represent a
mere reference.
6.1 FAST-FORWARDING AND END OF CYCLE
When a wash cycle is in progress, each pulse on the START / STOP
causes the cycle to move one step forward. If the same button is held
down for more than 5 seconds, the cycle will move straight to the
end, which will consequently cause the door to unlock.
Each time a button is pressed the machine beeps briefly. It beeps for
15 seconds at the end of the cycle.
It is however possible to stop the beeper by pressing the " - " push
button or even inhibit the beeper altogether through programming.
6.2 ALARM AND FAULT SIGNALING
When faults arise (voltage drop, supertemperature, water level
error in the drum) the equipment notifies the user by a number of
alarms that appear on the front panel DISPLAY. All alarm details
are dealt with in the "SAFETY MEASURES" chapter.
6.3 CYCLE STEPS
The control display reads the various steps, i.e.:
1) WEIGHING - The machine weighs the laundry. Weighing can
be automatic (standard) or manual. This step can only be
performed at the beginning of the cycle.
2) SOAK - Soak step underway (when scheduled).
3) PREWASH - Prewash step underway (when scheduled)
4) WASH - Wash step underway
5) RINSE - This message is read when the machine is performing
any rinsing step in the cycle.
6) SPIN - Final or intermediate spin underway
7) DISTRIBUTION - Distribution step underway
At any rate, every step is read along with a description explains the
relevant details.
When the end of the cycle is reached, the door is automatically
unlocked: then it will be possible to open the door using the handle
and pick the clean laundry.
CAUTION! Never force the door open. Open by hand only after it
has been unlocked.
At any rate, before opening the door make sure that the drum has
stopped, the water has been drained and the temperature inside the
drum is below 40°C .
Should a potential drop occur during the wash cycle, it will be
possible to open the door after about 90 sec.; in case of emergency
or defect of the door-opening device, to open the door jerk the
manual puller downwards (see fig. 2).
To reach the manual puller it is necessary to unscrew the two fixing
screws with a cross-bit screwdriver and withdraw the machine's
lower front panel. After the door has been unlocked manually, open
it using the handle as explained above and then put the panel back
in place.
6.4 CONFIGURATION OF SETTINGS
Besides the "START/STOP" and the "ECO" push-buttons, the
machine has 4 more buttons for cycle selection and special functions.
More precisely, with the door closed and before starting a cycle, the
programming mode can be entered by pressing the "MODE" push-
button.
For further details cfr. the block-diagram attached.
WARNING: if a potential drop should occur during a programming
session, changes will not be saved and it will be necessary to repeat
the programming procedure from the beginning.
6.5 PROGRAMMIMG BY PC - OPTIONAL
Washers can also be programmed via PC through a serial port. To
this purpose the washers feature an ad-hoc RS232 serial port at the
rear (OPTIONAL).
To enable the "data transmission and reading" mode it will be
necessary to switch the washer on while holding down the "MODE"
key: the displays will read "HOST COMPUTER" only.
For further details, contact your seller or the after-sales service.
CAUTION!
Do not try to read or change machine programming, unless you
have the ad-hoc cable supplied by the manufacturer, as this could
cause severe damage to the electronic boards.
If you wish to change machine programming, contact your seller or
the after-sales service.
6.6 PROGRAMMIMG BY SMART CARD
Washers can also be programmed using a SMART CARD. As a
matter of fact, the Smart Card reader featured as standard can save
or load the machine-control firmware.
