  • Page 14: Display (Some Models)

    5.5 Display (some models) The display shows the following information: three flashing digits, when the appliance is switched on. the duration of the washing programme, which appears after selecting it. This time corresponds to that necessary for the maximum load for every type of programme. After starting the programme, the time diminishes (and updates) by every minute.

  • Page 16 The overall structure of the microprocessor memory on the main PCB is subdivided into three sections: This area of memory contains the software with the general instructions that control the operation of the appliance, such as those of the electrical components and alarms. The ROM is set up by the manufacturer of the microprocessor, and cannot be modified.
  • Page 17: Power Supply And Programme Selection

    6.2 Power supply and programme selection The main board (3) is powered by the interference suppressor (1) and by the closure of the contacts of the main switch (2). The affected connectors are J6-2 (neutral) and J10-1 (line). The control/display board (4) is powered at 5V by the main board: through the programme selector (5) it is possible to select the programme.

  • Page 19: Control Pressure Switch For Water Level In The Tub

    6.4 Control pressure switch for water level in the tub Control of the water level is performed by a two or three-level pressure switch which functions as follows: • contact 11-14: anti-boiling safety level • contact 21-24: first level • contact 31-32: anti-overflow safety level (not all models) 6.4.1 Pressure switch settings...
  • Page 20: Water Fill System

    6.5 Water fill system The solenoid valves are powered by the PCB via two or three triacs. The status of the pressure switch (empty/full) is detected by two “sensing” lines”. Anti-boiling level 1st level Pre-wash solenoid 5. Wash solenoid 6. Bleach solenoid (some models) 7.
