Description 8
1. DESCRIPTION
WASHER EXTRACTOR DESIGNED TO WASH OR TREAT FABRIC IN A WATER BATH.
1.1. CHARACTERISTICS
Construction characteristics:
•HIGH SPEED MODELS (HS / EH). washers, capable of extracting with speeds above 350G
(280G in model HS-6008/EH020) without having to be bolted down. The design of its suspension
system: multi-directional springs and shock absorbers to cushion up to 95% of the vibrations produced
during the spin cycle.
•MEDIUM SPEED MODELS (MS / EM). Hard-mount construction. They have to be bolted down to the
floor.
•Stainless steel inner and outer drum. The openings in the drum blades promote the uniform
distribution of bath water and improve the yield of the washer both during the wash and the rinse cycles.
•The drum rotation is produced by an asynchronous motor of alternating current controlled by inverter.
•Hot and cold water connections with a safety mechanism to prevent contaminating by back-flowing into
the general potable water system.
•Large capacity drain valve. (Option for pump drainage in models HS-6008/EH020).
•Water inlets and all product dispensers done using a common collector with an anti-siphon mechanism.
•Option for heating the bath using electric heaters or steam injection.
Functional characteristics:
•Operation control of the washer by microprocessor.
•Operation of the washer adaptable to the possibilities of the installation and the needs of the user.
•Washing programs: availability of 4 pre-programmed programs. Each program allows for: pre-wash,
wash with a maximum temperature of 80ºC (176ºF) and four rinse phases with a final spin at high speed.
•Great versatility in individually modifying the content of each program. (More information about the
Programming Mode in the manual of Advanced Operation Instruction COIN CONTROL on the
manufacturer website: www.girbau.com, (USA/CANADA: www.cont-girbau.com)).
•Temperature control in the wash phase done by hot and cold water mixer in accordance
with the programmed temperature and the activation of the heating system. Precision of +/- 2ºC
(+/- 3.5ºF).
•Level control done with an electronic pressure transmitter.
•communication via series between the washer microprocessor and the inverter control of the
motor. This communication takes advantage of all the features offered by inverter technology which
results in a significant energy savings and an optimal management of the spin cycle. This in turn implies
a significant reduction in noise, vibration and wear on the washer components.
•Multiple controls that assure the safe use of the washer.
•The programs are activated by the introduction of coins or tokens into the washing machine’s meter.

Operation 11
ALWAYS CLOSE THE DISPENSER DRAWER OR COVER BEFORE STARTING THE WASH CYCLE.
NEVER OPEN THE DISPENSER DURING THE WASHING CYCLE.
SUDS CONTROL.
The mechanical action of front-loading washing machines improves the quality of the wash but
encourages creation of suds.
Remember that a suds bath always reduces the efficiency of your wash. ALWAYS USE
CONTROLLED SUDS DETERGENT.
Oversudsing causes an increase in the pressure inside the machine and decreases the efficiency of
the sealing systems.
Repeated washing with a large amount of suds considerably reduces the life of seals and bearings.
THIS CIRCUMSTANCE IS NOT COVERED BY THE MACHINE’S WARRANTY.
2.4 Starting a program
•Close the door. The door report on display changes to SEL. (if SEL does not appear on the display,
repeat the door closing operation).
•Select the desired program with the corresponding keys. (For information on the characteristics of each
program, refer to section 2.5. Wash Programs). The selected program will be shown on the display and
the led associated to the key will light.
•Place the washing products in the dispenser and close it (refer to section 2.3). The led indicating the
program payment will light.
•After displaying the program number, the display will show the report CASH and next the price of the
program or the number of tokens to be introduced.
•Insert the amount showed in the display. The display will show the price or the number of tokens left to
start the selected program. Each coin or token introduced will deduct its value from the final value.
•It is possible to change the programme selection while inserting the coins or tokens. The price of the
program adapts according to the new selection and the value of the coins or the number of tokens
introduced will remain in the memory. The newly selected program will be displayed on the LED relating
to the key.
•When the introduced value reaches the program value, the washing program will start.
•Door lock. A 30 second security time is initiated from when the machine is set in motion, during which
time the drum rotation and water inlet is in small impulses and the door remains unlocked. At the end of
the 30 second locking delay, the locking mechanism is set and the wash cycle begins.
•Throughout the program’s duration, the door remains locked until the LED indicating the end of the
program lights.

Operation 14
2.6 Stop modes
2.6.1 End of cycle
The buzzer and the LED indicating the end of the cycle inform that the program has finished and the door lock
is released.
2.6.2 Interrupting a program
A. Press the key for interrupting a washing program. The drum rotation stops and the bath drains.
At the end of the safety delay, the buzzer informs that door lock is unlocked and display shows STOP –
PUSH – Pr-* (number of program being executed) .
From this moment on, a pushing on the key corresponding to the programme currently being executed
resumes the cycle.
Opening the door cancels the cycle.
B. Disconnecting the external automatic switch or the general emergency stop of the laundry (refer to
Installation handbook).
We do not recommend these stop modes, except in an emergency. As long as the door remains closed, the
machine will understand that there has been a power failure. When the power is switched back on, the
machine will resume the program in progress.
On machines with pumped drain (HS-6008/EH020 models), the emergency stop and the disconnection
of the external automatic switch do not allow the bath drain.
When a washing program is interrupted by electrical power failure or activating the general
Emergency Stop of the installation, the door lock mechanism stops being controlled by the microprocessor
and the opening of the door is thermally delayed. In these circumstances, it is normal to have a washer delay
or inactive time of about 3 minutes.
Risk of entrapment
To avoid the risk that, while playing, a child gets entrapped inside a washer IT IS CAUTIONED THAT:
•After giving the start order, a safety delay of 30 seconds starts during which the drum rotation and the
entry of water operate at short impulses and the door remains unlocked (see section 2.4)
•All the mechanisms that interrupt a program described in this section:
- stop the washer motor
- open the drain valve
- disconnect the door lock which can be opened after approximately 3 minutes.
2.7. Unbalance control
Before starting spin, the control of the washing machine checks the correct distribution of the load.
If it detects that the load is not well distributed and that can cause an excessive unbalance during the spin, a
new positioning of the clothes will be carried out.
If there’s still unbalance during the spin of the last phase, the washer can end the washing cycle reducing the
spin speed. If this is the situation, the report End/bAL will be showed alter the delay of the door opening.
Unbalance control with micro-switch. Activates only in cases of extreme unbalance.
To improve the efficency of the spin of the washer it’s advisable to:
•Load the washer until its nominal value.
•Load the washer with homogeneous loads
