3 General
There are a large number of wash programs for different business segments available in the machine but only the
wash programs suitable for the business segment selected are visible on the program selection screen.
It is possible to create new wash programs directly on the user interface.
A wash program created in one model/size of machine can be transferred to another model/size without changing
any parameters.
The wash programs controls the whole wash process including chemical dosing.
Dosing pumps are fully managed and controlled from the machine, including calibration and low level alarms.
All machines have automatic saving of water, chemicals and energy. The water levels and the chemical dosing are
adapted to the weight of the load.
Optional there is an integrated weighing system that can prevent over- and under-loading.
Gestures

Tap to select a program from the list.
Depending on machine set up the programs are displayed as a list or as a grid.
fig.X01573A
fig.X01573
In list view you can get a quick view of the main parameters in the wash program: the calculated program duration,
the highest programmed temperature and the final extraction speed in G.
The program duration is calculated based on full load in the machine and that the water pressure is not lower than
what is specified in the Installation manual. Also, the inlet water temperature affects the calculated program time on
heated machines. The inlet water temperature value that is used in the formula can be changed in the settings menu.
When a program is selected, a start screen is shown. The appearance of this screen depends on the choices made
in the installation wizard and in the settings menu.

14 User manual
5.1.1 Edit programs
In this menu it is possible to change settings for any selected program.
When activating this menu all available wash programs are listed.
For factory made programs it is however only possible to change the amount of chemicals.
Copy/duplicate a program by a long press. In the copy, all parameters can be changed. It is possible to copy a mod-
ule from one program and paste it into another.
Header module: General
The parameters that are valid for the whole wash program are set in the header module.
• Start pumps at
– Set the temperature at which dosing pumps should start in case “start at temperature” is selected in the wash module.
• Safe disinfection
– Set if validation of temperature and time is needed.
• Max load
– Set the maximum allowed load weight.
• Min load
– Set the minimum allowed load weight.
• Residual moisture*
– Use when washing garments that are humid when loaded into the machine Set the known residual moisture of the
load that is going to be weighed.
• Use calculated weight*
– Select if the dosing of chemicals and the water levels should be related to the calculated weight of dry load instead of
the measured load. (Mainly used for cleaning mops).
• Water reduction
– Select if water levels should be adjusted to the weight of the load.
* Tip: Wash programs for floor cleaning mops should start with pre rinse(s) followed by an extraction before the
weighing module. Run the program with dry, clean mops with known weight and abort the program after the extrac-
tion. Measure the weight of the damp mops and calculate the residual moisture. Select “Use calculated weight”.
Parameters in main wash, pre wash, rinse, pre rinse and soaking modules:
Temperature settings
• Filling with pre heating
– Set if the water shall be heated to max; “Filling max. temperature”, during the filling phase. Can be used to shorten the
total program time.
• Filling max. temperature
– Set the max water temperature during the filling phase. The temperature will be adjusted by opening and closing the
hot/cold water valves and/or turning on/off heating.
• Wash temperature
– Set the wash temperature between 10–95℃.
• Maintain temperature
– Set if the set wash temperature shall be maintained during the whole washing time. This is mainly used for thermal
disinfection.
Tip: In a main wash, following a pre wash, the “Filling max. temperature” can normally be set as high as the “Wash
temperature”.
Time settings
The times are set in hours/minutes/seconds.
• Filling
– Set the absorbing/wetting/soaking time. Time starts to count down when set level is reached. During this phase the
textile will absorb water and the water valves will open to refill up to the set level.
• Washing
– Set the washing time. Time starts to count down when set level and temperature conditions are fulfilled.
• Start washing timer at
– Select from a drop down list if the washing time should start counting down when the set level is reached or when the
set wash temperature is reached.
Tip: In a main wash, following a pre wash, the time in the filling phase can normally be shortened since the textile al-
ready has absorbed water in the pre wash.
Water level settings
• Level
– Select water level from the drop down list. The relationship between drum diameter and level in mm is not linear.
Therefore, there is a list of proven levels that are adapted to give the same results regardless of drum size.
• Smart filling
– Select smart filling to get the most accurate water level.
Note!
If smart filling is selected the drum rotation will be stopped at the end of the filling.
For water level settings, please refer to section “Water level”.

User manual 15
Action and speed settings
Select drum rotation action during the different steps from the drop down list with predefined and tested rotation and standing
still times.
Select drum speed during the different steps. The value is set between 0–1.00G.
For action and speed settings, please refer to section “Drum filling action”.
Dosing of chemicals
For each of the chemicals the following can be set:
• At temperature
– Set if the dosing of the selected chemical should start before or after the dosing temperature that is set in header mod-
ule is reached.
• Load
– Set the amount of chemical(s) that shall be dosed in the step/module. The amount is set in ml/kg of load. The same
dosage amount per kg load gives different dosing times depending on how much load there is in the machine and not de-
pending of the machine capacity.
The amount of chemicals will however never be less than the % in the settings “Min. chemical dosing” even if the weight
of the load is very small.
Example: Min. chemical dosing: 30%, weight of the load is 20% of machine capacity. Dosing will be according to 30% of
machine capacity.
If the program does not have a weighing module the dosing will be according to the machines max. load.
Flushing in detergent box compartments
Select which compartment(s) in the detergent box that shall be flushed in the module. The front mounted box has 6 compart-
ments but 1a and 1b are flushed in parallel and this also applies to 2a and 2b. The top mounted box has 4 compartments.
In factory made programs the compartments are used like below:
• 1, 1b, 1a = Pre wash
• 2, 2b, 2a = Main wash
• 3 = Last rinse
• 4 = Main wash (pre wash/first rinse/last rinse)
1 2
3 4
Tip: If liquid bleach chemicals that become aggressive in high temperatures are used it is recommended to flush
compartment 4 in a program step with lower wash temperature for instance the first rinse.
Cool down module
A controlled cool down is necessary to avoid permanent wrinkles when washing synthetic materials in a temperature above
their glass-transition temperatures (Tg).
Cool down can also be used to avoid too hot water to be drained.
End temperature: Set the desired temperature that the water should reach.
Max temperature decrease: Set how fast the temperature decrease is allowed to be.
Action and speed during cool down.

16 User manual
Drain module
Action and speed during drain.
Extraction module
• Speed
– Select extraction speed from the drop down list with predefined and tested G-forces.
The same rotation speed in different sizes of drum diameters gives different dewatering. Therefore, the speed is specified
in G instead of revolutions per minute (rpm).
• Time
– Set the total extraction time.
For extraction settings, please refer to section “Drum extraction”.
