Messages During the Wash Cycle

Water Fill Process
Depending on the water temperature the cold and hot inlet
n
valves will be opened.
The water level is measured by an electronic water level
n
sensor.
If the Temperature Balance function is enabled, the washer
n
computer will control the water temperature until the target
temperature is reached.
In the standard wash tables you will find a Normal Low and
n
Normal High water level.
These are the standard water levels:
n
– The Normal Low water level is used for the Prewash, Wash,
and Soak Sequence.
– The Normal High water level is used for the Rinse and
Final Rinse Sequence.
The water level can only be programmed between two limits:
n
– The lower limit is above the heating elements and the
temperature sensor.
– The upper limit is below the washer drum.
Heating Process
When "No Wait for Temperature" is selected: The washer
n
will heat until the time of the specific wash step is over or
if the programmed temperature was reached. Even if the
programmed temperature is not reached, the program will
start the next sequence if the time of the sequence is over.
When "Wait for Temperature" is selected: The washer
n
will heat until the programmed temperature is reached.
The programmed time of the Wash Sequence will only
start counting down from the moment that the target
temperature was reached.
NOTE: If the washer does not have an accessory heating
system, do not select "Wait for Temperature" in the
Initialization Menu.

Cool Down Function
Automatic cool down: This function avoids thermal shock
n
in the washer. For Hot washes above 149°F (65°C), cold
water is added at the end of the step.
Programmed cool down: This function is recommended
n
to avoid the shrinking of the garments. Water is drained
and cold water is added bit by bit. The temperature of the
water in the tub will decrease slowly as a function of the
programmed Cool Down Sequence (temperature and time).
Spray Function
The special product is injected while the drain valve is open
and, depending on the programmed speed, the drum will spin
at distribution or low spin speed.
Unbalanced
When the washer load is off balance, the safety switch or
overweight detection system will activate during the Spin
Sequence.
The Spin Sequence will be interrupted and the garments
n
in the drum will be redistributed.
The washer will try up to 5 times to redistribute the
n
garments.
NOTE: If this does not solve the unbalance problem, the washer
will reduce the maximum revolutions of the spinning sequence.
Pause
When a signal has been programmed for the end of a Wash
Sequence the washer will stop the Program and the message
"Pause, Press Start to Continue" will be displayed.
The buzzer will give a signal for the operator.
n
By pressing START the program will continue to the next
n
program step.
Stop
By pressing STOP the program is interrupted. The washer will
first go to a safe state. Then the message CONTINUE ?
is displayed.
STOP: The program is stopped. A tumble sequence will be
n
completed before the door can be opened.
START: The program restarts the last active step, and
n
continues with the rest of the program.
