IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CONSERVATION
1.EXPECTED MACHINE USE AND DON’TS. This machine has been made and designed for industrial
washing or cleansing in a water bath of linen and textile materials only. Linen and textile materials must be
free from solvent impregnation or explosives. Any other use will be considered contraindicated without the
written authorization of the manufacturer.
Under-loading as well as overloading is not recommended. Always endeavour to meet the capacity of the
machine.
It is not recommended to wash the linen inside bags. Should it be necessary, load the machine up to its
nominal value.
It is not recommended to spin carpeting, canvas or waterproof fabrics.
2.Machine MATERIALS in contact with wash products are:
•Stainless Steel AISI-304 L
•Aluminium in models HS-6008 & MS-610 (EH020 & EM025)
•EPOXY coating on steel (in some models)
•Polypropylene PP
•EPDM and NBR
•Borosilicate glass
3.The user must inquire the chemical product supplier about the risks of chemicals and its combination. The
user is responsible to assure that products ARE COMPATIBLE and will not produce machine oxidation or
damage either to people or to the washer.
Notice that the hypochlorite (bleach), in certain conditions of use, generates chlorine gas.
Chlorine is a corrosive and oxidizing substance that, in high concentrations and temperature, deteriorates
the stainless steel and elastomers.
There are other highly oxidizing agents, such as the ozone, that can have the same effect.
4.Periodically CLEAN the machine. You will prevent metallic parts corrosion and produce higher output and
have a longer life. To clean the washing machine, use water and detergent, rinse with a damp cloth, and
dry. Cleaning with water jets or pressurised steam is forbidden.
5.Once the wash cycle has finished, THE WASHER DOOR MUST REMAIN OPEN.
•This allows for the ventilation of the washer interior
•Avoids the appearance of harmful micro organisms.
•This extends the lifetime of the door latch.
6.NEVER use harsh products to clean the machine and laundry room. There are products on the market,
which are highly corrosive.
7.If machine is left idle for long periods of time, it must be PROTECTED from humidity and temperature
variations.
8.FOLLOW the fabric care instructions supplied by the manufacturer, GIRBAU SA, REFUSES ANY
RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE OF TEXTILE WEAR AND TEAR.
9.Failure due to improper machine operation may VOID WARRANTY.
10.Replacing any part of the washer can affect the machine’s safety.
Examples:
•A screw or bolt of insufficient strength could cause dangerous damage.
•A heater without an internal fuse could provoke a fire.
•An inadequate clamp can be the cause of water leaks and short circuits... etc.
The reason for which ONLY ORIGINAL GIRBAU SPARE PARTS MUST BE USED.
Failure to take heed of this precaution may result in a washer breakdown, a serious accident, and loss of
guarantee.
11.When asking for information on your machine, MENTION model and serial number (serial plate is located

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 eight pre-programmed programs. Each program allows for: three
phases of soak or pre-wash, wash phase with a maximum temperature of 90ºC (194ºF) and five 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 for the LOGI CONTROL on the
manufacturer website: www.girbau.com) (USA/CANADA: www.continentalgirbau.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.
•series communication 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.
1.2. Expected use of the washer
This machine has been made and designed for industrial washing or cleansing in a water bath, linen and
textile materials. Any other use will be considered contraindicated without the written authorization of the
manufacturer.
The washer should not be filled with a load which is much smaller or greater load than the nominal load.
Laundry should not be washed when loaded in bags. If necessary, load the machine to its nominal value.
It is not recommended to spin carpeting, canvas or waterproof fabrics.

2.2. Loading the washing machine
Group the fabrics to be washed in homogeneous loads, trying to reach the nominal value of the load. Empty
all pockets, fasten buttons, close zippers and remove accessories that are not machine-washable. It is not
recommend mixing whites with other colours.
Open the door and load the machine.
Washer load recommendations according to the type of fabric to wash:
- Cotton fabrics: nominal load
- Synthetic fabrics: between 80% & 90% nominal load
- Delicate fabrics: between 35% & 50% nominal load
Do not overload the machine; the door must be able to close easily.
Whilst the door is open, the display reads door, indicating that the door must be closed in order for the
program to begin.
2.3. Using the dispenser
Fill the compartments with the corresponding products, according to these symbols:
fig.2 fig.3
- Powdered detergent for pre-wash
- Powdered detergent for wash
Δ- Liquid bleach (chlorine, bleach...)
]- Liquid softener / neutraliser
For safety, close dispenser drawer or cover before starting the wash 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.
Models EH020 & EM025 incorporate a group of programmes (SP-I) for a superior rinse efficiency.
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.

C. Other stop modes are:
•Disconnecting the ON/OFF switch.
•Disconnecting the external automatic switch.
We do not recommend these stop modes, except in an emergency. In these cases, 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.
D. Interruption of the power supply The operation of the washing machine is interrupted: the drain valve
opens and after a delay of approximately 3 minutes, the door is released.
If the door remains closed when the power supply is restablished, the wash cycle is resumed.
If the door is open, the wash cycle is cancelled.
On machines with pumped drain, the disconnection of the external automatic switch or the ON switch
do not allow the bath drain.
When a washing program is interrupted by electrical power failure, disconnecting the ON switch, or
activating the Emergency Stop, 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 30-second security time is started during which the drum rotation and the
water inlet operate at short impulses and door remains released (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.

Operation 18
2.8. Unbalance control
Before starting spin, the electronic 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.
Unbalance control with a micro-switch. Activates only in cases of extreme unbalance.
To improve the efficiency of the spin of the washer it’s advisable to:
•Load the washer until its nominal value
•Load the washer with homogeneous loads
2.9. DELAY option
The DELAY option allows you to program the start time of a program depending on the needs of the user. For
example: using two-rate electricity, rationalisation of electricity consumption, adjusting the laundry production
system, etc.
To use the DELAY option, it is essential for the washing machine to have a real-time operation kit
installed (clock). If the machine did not come with this kit, you can install one easily. Contact your
distributor.
Before the first use, and each time there is a time change, verify and/or adjust the time on the clock.
(See ADVANCED USE MODE, sect. 2.5 at www.girbau.com) (USA/CANADA: www.continentalgirbau.com)

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
Some of the washing machine’s operating problems can be solved through the intervention of the user.
These problems are detailed below.
Should you have any questions, remember to consult the Authorised Technical Service.
4.1. What to do when …
....the wash cycle ends with the report: END/BAL
This report indicates that the final spin cycle is not possible because the load is unbalanced.
•Unload the machine and load it again.
•Begin the wash cycle and accelerate the program to the last phase.
•The washing machine will repeat the last spin cycle without refilling with water.
•If the problem persists, or occurs often, contact the Authorised Technical Service.
....the machine makes a strange noise during the spin cycle
•Check the levelling of the machine. See Instruction Manual for Installation.
•Tighten the locking screws on the outside panels.
•If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Technical Service.
....the door may have a leak
•Clean the door seal of any possible deposits or remains of cloth
....there is water leaks inside the washer cabinet
•Check the outlet draining pipe.
•Check the seals on the water inlet hoses; tighten the connection couplings.
•Check the condition of the door seal and if there are any ruptures.
•machines with pumped drain: Check the coupling of the filter and the draining pump (section 4.6)
•if the problem persists, seal all of the water inlets and contact the Authorised Technical Service.
....you have forgotten the access code for the advanced operating mode
•Contact the Authorised Technical Service.
....the clock (option) stops working correctly
•Possible battery failure. Contact the Authorised Technical Service to have it replaced.
