" Description of the "Energy saving" function :

r" In t~is model t.here are same pr~grammes that ~llow a savi.ng ~f 30 % energ:. ~ith the programmes of 90 °C, it is
\ posslble to obtaln the above mentloned energy savlng by pushlng-ln the button Indlcated by" e ".

r mechanical action of the machine after the temperature of 60 °c has been reached. In this way an equalized washing

, action is obtained.

r The increased mechanical action (drum rotation) is obtained by increasing the duration of the timer impulses 7. 9, 10

MOTOR AWB 917/3 PH -W A2

Direct current version with permanent magnets. (\

The stator inclu~es the ferr.oxdure per~anent magnets.. i 1
The rotor contalns the laminated soft Iron core, the colls and the commutator.

Two brush holders, which contain 2 carbon brushes, are placed opposite each other. The carbon brushes rest on the

commutator to provide a sliding contact to pass current.

The motor shaft is equipped with a multi-grooved pulley. ~
The motor is fed by the "Control unit" which supplies the different voltages required, depending on the speed.

ADJUSTMENTS AND WATER LEVELS )

/ ',

1) Driving belt (item 125 of the exploded view)
The drivir'lg belt used is a poly V belt and its tension is of 15 -16 kg. \

To adjust the belt, one must loosen the nut fixing the motor to the tub bracket in the respective adjusting slot )
and press the motor downwards tor the correct belt tension tighten the nut again.

2) Control rod (timer-tub/detergent) pos. 322 of the exploded view ~ .

a. In order to adjust the water flow in the prewash compartment, position the timer knob corresponding to pro-

gramme 1 and loosen the adjusting screw (pos. 322). ~ .

b. Move the drawer sliding contact to the end of cycle (right side). Tighten the screw.

If the adjusting hag been correctly made, water should flow in the compartment 1 of the detergent drawer. ')

/\,

,

3) Tub and tub clamping ring (items 389, 395, 398 of the expoloded view) /\
To position the tub and the rear plate of the tub correctly, the reference marks (""'-' ) on the tub edges have to i

face. This reference mark on the tub must be in the centre of theclamping ring opening when positioning the
ring. I')

4) Tub suspension springs (item 332 of the exploded view)

The two springs must be hooked in the lower holes of the two tub brackets. ~

5) Pressostat (item 233 of the exploded view)

Fig. 4 indicates the water levels, with a certain tolerance. If the levels deviate excessively tram those indicated, I~
the pressostat must be replaced.
The pressostat must never be adjusted.
