If you have a memory card
in the program control unit,
and the program you selec-
ted is both on the memory
card and in the PCU, you will
be asked ”FROM CLS OR
SMC?”.
Press CLS if you want to
take the program from the
PCU.
Press SMC if you want to
take the program from the
memory card.
In some of the text shown on
the display, Clarus Control
is referred to as CLS and the
memory card is referred to
as SMC.
Memory cards
A memory card is a plastic card, the size of a credit
card, with an electronic memory chip inside it. This
card is capable of storing 10 to 15 wash programs
of normal size. If the programs are mostly small
ones, more of them can be stored, whereas larger
programs will reduce the number which can be
held by the card. Memory cards of this type can be
used to:
• transferwashprogramsfromonemachineto
another
• runwashprogramsstraightfromthecard
• transferwashprogramsfromaPCtoamemory
card and from a memory card to a PC.

What is the program library?
The program library lists all wash programs, both
user and standard programs, showing their pro-
gram numbers and a description, for example:
1 MY OWN 40 °C
2 MY OWN 60 °C
3 MY OWN 90 °C
991 Start-up program
992 Level check
993 Weight check
994 Temperature check

996 Low extraction 500 rpm
5 minutes
997 Extraction 775 rpm 2 minutes
(15s 550)
998 Extraction 950 rpm 4 minutes
(15s 550 + 15s 775)
999 High extraction 1100 rpm
5 minutes (15 + 15 + 20s 950)
Each time a new program is stored in the machine
program memory, its number and description will
be inserted automatically into the program library.
The program library may be used for starting a
wash program, but is also used in programming,
when a wash program needs to be modified or if
a new program is to be created on the basis of an
existing one.

14 Procedure for use
Program description
The following programs are fixed programmes in memory.
Prgr.no. Name Contents/Application
991 Start-up program If the machine has been idle more
than two hours, this program
should be run before any other
program is run.
992 Level check Check with the ruler inside the
drum
Program fills machine with water to
a reference level at 160 mm, main-
tains this level 20 seconds and
goes into a paus state with alarm.
Press PAUS and the machine will
be emptied. This process is repea-
ted five times. After that, the pro-
gram fills machine with water to the
following levels one after the other:
100 mm, 130 mm, 160 mm and
200 mm. Each level is maintained
40 seconds before emptying.
993 Weight check Program fills the machine with
water to 18 kg, wait 30 seconds,
rotates 60 seconds and fills to 26
kg (+8) and waits 30 seconds. Then
drain.
994 Temperature check Program fills machine with water to
130 mm level and warms it in five
steps: 25°C for 2 minutes, 40°C
for 2 minutes, 60°C for 2 minutes,
80°C for 2 minutes and 90°C for
2 minutes. The machine is emp-
tied, filled twice with cold water to
a high level 200 mm and finishes
with a two minute spin cycle 1000
rpm. The buzzer sounds at the end
of the program.
