Display information
The left display will indicate the temperature of the wash bath - in °C or °F (on machines where this function has been selected).
The central display shows the remaining time to the end of the wash cycle.
For programs which are being run for the rst time, the machine will take a
theoretical time estimate. If this time indication does not correspond to the real
cycle time, the cycle time will be corrected from the second cycle onwards
(Self-Teaching function of the machine).
This correction will have to be preprogrammed and is not activated on
program numbers higher than 20. The corrected time will also be lost when
the power has been cut from the machine for more than 24 hours.
The right display will continue to show the selected program number.
If a Level-stop was programmed (which halts the programmer during the lling
of the cylinder) and/or a Heat-stop (which stops the programmer during the
heating up of the wash bath, then the respective LEDs light up in the display.
Once the required water level and/or temperature has been reached, the LED is
turned off and the internal programmer advances again.
Wash cycle LEDs
Each program segment has a corresponding LED. Each of these 6 LEDs light up
when the appropriate segment is executed. This way, the program sequence can
be accurately followed.
When a LED blinks, the machine is taking up water.
When a LED blinks slowly, the machine is heating up the water.
Spin LEDs
When the water is drained at the end of a program segment and the machine
spins if so desired, the left spin LED (intermediate spin) will light up together with

Description of the functions
I
I
2
Function F1 (Time stop)
During the wash cycle:
The wash time is stopped. The temperature, water level and wash action
remain the same as programmed.
During the wash cycle, this function remains active until the START button (I) is
pressed again.
During intermediate spin :
The intermediate spin normally lasts 1 minute.
By activating function F1, the machine will spin for nine minutes unless the
START button (I) is pressed earlier.
During nal spin :
At nal spin, you have high spin after low spin.
By activating F1 during low spin, this low spin will be extended to 15 minutes
unless the START button (I) is pressed earlier.
If the 15 minutes of low spin have been completed, the high spin is automatically
cancelled.
By activating F1 after the preprogrammed low spin, you will have a maximum of
14 minutes of high spin unless the START button (I) is pressed earlier.
Adjustable stop time :
Here you can program a certain stop time. The display shows the countdown of
this extra time. When this time has expired, the function will appear automatically
and the program will continue.
Select F1 (see above).
The stop time can be programmed by means of the ECO button (E). By pressing
it once, the stop time is programmed for 10 minutes. From now onwards, “F1” and
“10” appear alternately on the middle display.
By pressing the ECO button (E) once more, you add 10 minutes each time.
After 50 minutes, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc... appear with a maximum of 4.0 hours.
By means of the START button (I), you can reduce 10 minutes each time.
Note
The programmed stop time is executed after the decimal point in the right
display has extinguished.
The stop time cannot be programmed during spin.
Function F2 (soak)
This function can only be chosen during prewash, main wash and rst rinse.
The cycle time is stopped. The bath is lled till high water level and heated up
to 40°C (if a higher temperature was programmed, this will be followed).
As long as this temperature is not reached, the machine makes a reduced wash
action (shorter action time and longer pause time). When the bath has reached
its temperature, the drum will make one left/right rotation every 4 minutes.
I
Should the temperature fall, the water will be heated again, during which the
action will be reduced again.
This function remains active until the START button (I) is pressed again.
Programmable soak time :
In the same way as for the stop time, you can program the soak time
(see programmable stop time).
2
16
Function F3 (reduced wash action):
By selecting F3, the wash action time and pause time will be reversed; unless
the wash action time was programmed to be shorter than the pause time.
Example: 12 sec. action/3 sec. pause becomes: 3 sec. action/12 sec. pause
6 sec. action/9 sec. pause remains: 6 sec. action/9 sec. pause
This function does not inuence the cycle time - the program continues normally
- and remains active until the START button (I) is pressed
Function F4 (execute high spin as low spin):
By activating this function, high spin will be automatically replaced by low
spin.
This function does not inuence the cycle time - the program continues normally
- and remains active until the START button (I) is pressed.
Function F5 (rapid advance):
This function is mostly used by technicians and maintenance staff. It allows to
skip some steps in the chosen program.
By pressing and releasing the ECO button (E), the program skips to the next
segment.
Important
If F5 is activated during nal spin, this segment of the program will be
I
skipped as described above. It is, however, followed by a coast and tumble
time to disentangle the linen. This special function prevents the user from
opening the machine while the drum is still rotating and represents an
important safety feature.
To return to normal operation, press the START button (I).
Function F6 (no spin):
This function eliminates all spin action.
Intermediate spin is replaced by a regular wash action. During nal spin, only the
programmed low spin time will be completed as regular wash action. High spin is
skipped in its entirety.
This function inuences the cycle time - the program continues normally - and
remains active until the START button (I) is pressed.
Function F7 (indication of the rpm)
By using F7, the number of revolutions of the drum (rpm) appears on the right
display.
Function F8 ( changing the number of revolutions (rpm) at nal spin)
By means of F8, the number of revolutions can be changed at high spin. The
programmed number of revolutions appears on the left display.
Each time you press the ECO button (E), the spin decreases with
25 rpm (min. 500).
Each time you press the START button (I), the spin increases with 25 rpm
(max. 999).
Note
This function has to be selected before nal spin has started.

After that, only the right display will continue to show the program number.
This is the end of the program.
Premature ending of the program
By pressing the START button (I) during the program, the Start LED is switched
off and the water is drained from the machine. As long as the water has not
reached the safety level, the door will remain sealed and the display will show
“SLE” (Safety Level) on the left display. Afterwards the display will temporarily
show “End” on the same display and the Start LED will be switched off.
After that, only the right display will continue to show the program number.
This is the end of the program.
Important
If any attempt is made to interrupt the program prematurely during a spin
phase of the program, all functions on the display will be replaced
temporarily by blinking horizontal dashes. After that, only the right display
will continue to show the program number and the door will be released.
This is the end of the program.

span). After the rst program has been run, only the second program number will
be displayed.
Cool-down
This function allows for gradually lowering the temperature of the wash bath to
prevent creasing of the linen.
During a cool-down, the remaining program time on the central display will be
replaced by “cd”.
Power Failure
Should the power fall out during the program, the water will be drained and the
door can be opened after maximum 3 minutes. When the door remains locked,
and the power comes back up within 24 hours, the program will continue from
where it was at the time of the power failure.
If due to breakdown, the door is not unlocked automatically, you have to remove
the service panel (A) below and pull the ring (B), suspended on the left side, while
opening the door.

continue to show the program number. This is the end of the program.
Rapid advance
This function allows to skip the rest or certain segments of the program.
This function has to be specied during preprogramming and is mostly used
by technicians and maintenance personnel.
Selection
1. Push the SELECT button (P) at the time the special function needs to be
activated and keep the button depressed.
2. Now push the upper hidden button simultaneously and release it again.
3. Only now release the SELECT button (P).
The central display now shows F5 and this function is now active.
Operation
By pressing and releasing the lower hidden button and releasing it again, the
program skips to the next segment (if necessary, the program can be advanced to
the end).
To return to the original wash program, press the upper hidden button.
Attention!
If F5 is activated during nal spin, this segment of the program will be skipped as
described above. It is, however, followed by a coast and tumble time to
disentangle the linen. This special function prevents the user from opening the
machine while the drum is still rotating and represents an important safety
feature.
Premature ending of the program
By using the rapid advance function during the program, a program can
prematurely be ended. When the end of a program is reached using this function,
and as long as the water has not reached the safety level, the door will remain
sealed and the display will show “SLE” (Safety Level) on the left display.
Afterwards, the display will temporarily show “End” on the same display.
After that, only the right display will continue to show the program number.
This is the end of the program.
Important
If any attempt is made to interrupt the program prematurely during a spin phase
of the program, all functions on the display will temporarily be replaced by
blinking horizontal dashes. After that, only the right display will continue to show
the program number and the door will be released. This is the end of the
program.

Cool-down
This function allows for gradually lowering the temperature of the wash bath to
prevent creasing of the linen.
During a cool-down, the remaining program time on the central display will be
replaced by “cd”.
Power Failure
Should the power fall out during the program, the water will be drained and the
door can be opened after maximum 3 minutes. When the door remains locked,
and the power comes back up within 24 hours, the program will continue from
where it was at the time of the power failure.
If due to breakdown, the door is not unlocked automatically, you have to remove
the service panel (A) below and pull the ring (B), suspended on the left side, while
opening the door.

Important
Before opening the door, check if all the water has been drained from the
tub and that the cylinder has come to a complete stop.
Central panel control (Option)
Here, payment is done through the central panel and not directly into the
machine. As soon as the payment is done, and a machine has been selected
normally, “STA” appears blinking on the left display. The machine can be
started by pressing the START button or the special START button, which has
been built in on the spot of the coin meter (option).
Note
This option can only be used when it has actually been programmed in the
technical menu.(REMOTE START).
For certain versions, PAY can appear on the left display when this operation is not
active.
Therefore, “Remote PAY” was programmed in the technical menu.

Setting the price
The price is set according to the specications at the time of ordering the
machine. If no prices were specied, some standard amounts have been preset.
Every program can be priced differently. These prices can also be modied easily.
Accessing the price setting mode
Remove the coin box. Certain machines have a press button inside the coin vault
at the left upper part. Access to the price setting mode is obtained by using this
button.
If there is no press button, remove the top panel of the machine.
At the back of the coin meter, a switch-lever can be found. Access is obtained
using this switch-lever.
If the machine is equipped with a double coin meter, access is obtained by using
the left switch-lever.
Press the button or pull the switch-lever down for 5 seconds.
The central display will show the letter “c”. Release the button or switch.
Hidden buttons
When the letter “o” appears on the display, press the button or pull the
switch-lever back down again for 5 seconds.
Now the display will show the letters “co”. From now on, the price can be set.
Setting the prices
The right display will show the program number “0” while the left display will show
the price for this program.
To increase the price: push the upper hidden button.
To decrease the price: push the lower hidden button.
When the price has been adjusted to requirements and no more adjustments are
necessary to this program price, press the SELECT button (P) again.
The machine moves automatically onto the next program.
Repeat the previous actions if the price of this program has to be modied, as
well. When all program prices have been set properly, exit the price setting mode
by pressing the button or pushing the coin meter switch-lever back down again
once more.
25
After programming the price for the last program, there are still the following
parameters:
A: Eco price
This is the decrease in value of the price for economical wash. In other words, the
amount that the customer is saving by using economic wash.
B: Number of coin insertions COIN 1 (up to 60.000)
This parameter is only indicated if it has been programmed in the technical menu
(COIN COUNT).
C: Number of coin insertions COIN 2 (up to 60.000)
This parameter is only indicated if it has been programmed in the technical menu
(COIN COUNT).
D: Info manufacturer or technician
TMP T/N : Info manufacturer or technician.
Here you can program the temperature to appear on display in case this has not
been done at the technical menu.

When all desired programs are provided with the right price, end the operation by
pressing the push button or pulling over the coin meter switch-lever.

Error messages
4
When one of the following malfunctions occurs during a program, the central
display will communicate the appropriate error message at the end of the cycle.
E3 (Eprom)
The Eprom is wrong, replace it by another.
Important
For coin machines, it is possible that a program number appears on the
right display in combination with E3.
This indicates a wrong price adjustment for this program. A coin value “0” or
bigger than “1000” was programmed.
Example : wrong price adjustment for program 5.
E4 (water level)
The appropriate water level was not reached after 15 minutes.
E5 (Heating)
The wash bath did not reach the required temperature after 80 minutes of
heating.

The door lock was released during the wash cycle.
E7 (safety level)
The water was insufciently drained, the machine did not spin and the water is
possibly still inside the tub.
E8 (temperature sensor)
The temperature sensor is probably broken or malfunctioning.

28
E9 (motor protection)
The thermo-magnetic protection was activated 5 times.
EA (tilt)
The tilt switch was activated 15 times during nal spin and the nal spin was
therefore skipped.
Eb (tilt switch)
The tilt switch is blocked.
Mot 2 (rotation sensor)
The speed detection is not operating properly. The speed meter is probably out
of order or disconnected.
LEV
Lev
The water level was not reached.
Important
When a malfunction occurs during a program, the central display will
communicate the appropriate error message at the end of the cycle. When this
malfunction has been removed and a new program has been selected, this
error message also disappears.
When malfunctions E3, E6, E7, E9 or Eb are detected at the start of the wash
cycle, the program will not be started and the error message will remain on
the display.
