- Two additional rinse cycles are added.
- No intermediate rinse, except after the last rinse cycle.
Activation of the extra rinse cycle:
- Press simultaneously key 1 and key 3, turn the programme selector by one position to the right.
Keep the keys pressed until the LED Rinse+ is lit on the programme flow display.
- This programming will be stored until it is deactivated again.
Deactivation of the extra rinse cycle:
- Proceed in the same way as when activating it.
Press simultaneously key 1 and key 3, turn the programme selector one position to the right. Keep

Electronic Module
The electronic module, including the μP, controls various functions and is placed in a protective housing.
Functions:
- Taking data of the selected cycle programs through the module.
- Water level control in the washtub; a pressure switch detecting the level.
- Cycle temperature control by a NTC sensor.
- Power supply of the heating element.
- Power supply of the drive motor and control of its speed by the tachymetric generator.
- Control of water inlet valves.
- Drain pump and door lock control.
In case of a power failure the module saves the just paused cycle.
- When the power supply to the appliance is restored again, the cycle starts where the program was
paused.

2 = N
3 = impulse electronic
4 = L
5 = electronic J2-1
When closing the lid the door lock gets an impulse from the electronic by contact 3. The impulse feeds
the magnetic coil over the PTC resistor. This moves the lever down and the tooth lock washer is
forwarded by another tooth. This can be heard by a click. The locking part is unlocked, the lid is closed.
When opening the lid, e.g. with the start/pause button or at the end of the cycle, the door lock gets two
impulses from the electronic. The tooth lock washer is moved twice. Only because of the second impulse
the lid can be opened immediately.
The second impulse unlocks the locking part mechanically through the tooth lock washer.
Why two impulses?
The door lock is controlled by a triac which is on the main circuit board. If there is a triac short circuit, the
electronic sends an impulse to the door lock. The customer could open the appliance, if the second
impulse was not required.
If there is a power failure during a wash cycle, the door lock requires approx. 2 min until the lid can be
opened. During this time the PTC bimetal cools down and the locking part opens.

DSP (Drum-Self-Position)
Control ( check ) the DSP-Function:
1. Remove the side panel, switch on the appliance
- Turn the drum to the right position ---> LED on
- Turn the drum over the right position ---> LED off
2 Remove the two plugs from the DSP and check the
resitance of the reed relay.
- Turn the drum to the right position ---> ∞Ω
- Turn the drum over the right position ---> no Ω
3 The drum is still in the right position.
Now measure the voltage. 5-6V DC
- If there is no voltage ---> Cable,
Electronic board
is defective
4. Check the Electronic in the customers service test pro-
gram.
- LED on ---> Electronic OK.
- LED off ---> Electronic defective.
Function:
The reed relay is closed if the metalic sheet, located on the pully, isn't between the magnet and the reed
relay. If the position of the metalic sheet is between those parts the contact of the reed relay is opened.
To mount the pulley in the correct way, you have to take care about following items:
The metal sheet located on the pulley should be in the drum self positioning device, if the door of the
drum is in the upper postion. The DSP is supplied with 5-6 V DC by the main board.
Condition drum positioned:
Reed contact opened, LED-Drum positioned illuminated, 5-6V DC.
Condition drum out of postion:
Reed contact closed, LED-Drum positioned not illuminated, 0V.
If the washing cycle is interrupted by the start pause button the drum has to be postioned within 10 sec.
During this time 2-3 attempts can be excecuted.If the drum isn't positioned during this time, the lid of the
appliance is released and can be opened. The LED drum positioned is not illuminated.
At the end of the cycle the positioning phase is 2 min until time out is reached.

Water Inlet Valve for 3-chamber detergent box
1 - inlet valve, 2-fold
2 - hose for main wash
3 - 3-chamber detergent box
4 - hose for pre-wash
5 - water distributor
6 - water distributor cover
*) Attention!
The flushing into the prewash chamber goes via hose 4.
The flushing into the main wash chamber goes via hose 2.
The simultaneous filling through hoses 2 and 4 provides the fill-in through the softener chamber.
Water Inlet Valve for 4-chamber detergent box
*) Attention!
The flushing into the prewash resp. bleach chamber goes via hose 4.
This is possible due to a connecting channel in the flush-in chamber.
In doing so, approx. 75% water flows into the prewash chamber and aprox. 25% into the
bleach chamber.
It is not possible to select both options prewash and bleaching at the same time.
The flushing into the main wash chamber goes via hose 2.
The simultaneous filling through hoses 2 and 4 provides the fill-in through the softener chamber.
