1.4 INTRODUCTION
The present booklet was formulated in a simple and rational way,
in order for the reader to become familiar with his/her equipment.
Please, read it carefully and keep it near the equipment at all times.
The advice and instructions contained in this manual cannot cover
every possible contingency. This is why it is important to keep in
mind that common sense and caution cannot be supplied by the
manufacturer along with the appliance, but must be contributed by
those in charge of its installation, maintenance and use.
Whoever operates the equipment must have read this manual
beforehand.
In case of repairs the manufacturer warmly recommends the use of
original spare parts. As for ordering these, reference is made to the
relevant paragraph at the end of this manual.
The descriptions and sketches reported in this manual do not bind
the manufacturer, who reserves the right to update them and/or
include any upgrading modification of parts and fittings at any time
and with no previous notice if this is deemed necessary for
manufacturing or commercial purposes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
2. ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The machine must be installed by professionally qualified and
licensed personnel, in accordance with the instructions provided by
the manufacturer as well as the national and local regulations.
Incorrect installation may result in harm to persons, animals or
property. The manufacturer undertakes no responsibility for such
damage.
Make sure that power supply voltage meets the details indicated on
the rating plate of the equipment. Consider also that the maximum
allowable power voltage variation is ±10%.

IMPORTANT:
CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE EARTHING SYSTEM
IS MANDATORY.
To this purpose, the terminal block is fitted with a specific contact,
which must be connected according to the regulations in force. The
manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for damage resulting
from non-observance of this accident prevention principle.
In compliance with the latest accident prevention provisions, the
machine is provided with an external terminal for equipotential
connection.
At the beginning of the power supply line there must be an
automatic all-pole circuit breaker with settings meeting the
maximum rated input (cfr. rating plate details of the equipment).
Provide for a 20 mm cable carrier duct (outer diameter) between the
circuit breaker and the power supply inlet to the equipment. Use the
cable clamp existing at the back of the machine to introduce the
power cord and, once the cables have been connected to the terminal
board following the sequence shown on the same, stop the cable by
the plastic nut.
Caution!
These appliances are equipped with electronic control devices like
a control card and an inverter. To be CE type-approved, such
devices must include noise filters complying with EMC standards
on eddy current emission. To operate properly, these filters leak a
small current of approximately 10-15mA through the earth lead.
Therefore every machine must be fitted with its own system-
protecting residual current cutoff switch (RCD). Avoid connecting
more than one appliance, whatever their capacity or brand,
downstream of a single RCD.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED
BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION.
3. REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION

4. HANDLING, UNPACKING AND STORING
4.1 SHIPPING AND HANDLING
To handle and/or ship the machine follow carefully the ensuing
recommendations:
Move the machine on its own pallet or on a similar platform; use a
fork lift, either manual or electric, provided it is adequate for
handling such appliances and it has the requisite lifting capacity
(cfr. technical data). Check beforehand that the equipment can
surmount any existing obstacle, like staircases, doors, etc. Do not
drag the machine by the sides or by any other part.
For shipping purposes, use only the original packaging, which
helps ensure sufficient stability during transportation.
4.2 STORING
If the equipment must be stored for a long period of time before
being put into operation, keep it inside the original package, since
this guarantees excellent protection. Also ensure that the
environmental conditions in the storehouse meet those indicated in
the next paragraphs. On the other hand, if the machine must be left
inoperative for a long period after use, be sure it is materially
disconnected from the electric supply and cover it the original
protection bag.
4.3 UNPACKING
1) Prior to accepting the machine from the carrier, check the
conditions of the packaging. If it is showing visible damage, the
machine may have been damaged too. In this case, unpack the
machine in the presence of the carrier and sign, under
reservation, the delivery slip. The manufacturer undertakes no
liability for any damage caused by transportation or improper
storage.
2) Unpack the machine with the utmost care to avoid damage. To
remove the platform, take off the screws from the inside of the
same, which are in the machine floor-fastening holes.
3) For all washing machines: open the door (cfr. next paragraphs)
and check that the following items are in the package:
- # 2 metal straps
- # 1 90° rubber elbow
- # 2 flexible pipes with ¾ ferrule
- # 1* brass strain for the steam inlet (steam-heated model only)
- # 2 flexible metal pipe
- keys to the coin box and 15 coins (only for coin-operated
versions)
- the keys to the machine's hood (only for machines featuring
a key-operated lock).
ON HIGH-SPEED WASHERS THE BRACKETS THAT
FASTEN THE TUB MUST ABSOLUTELY BE REMOVED
BEFORE MACHINE STARTUP.
4) For all ironers in the ranges with diam. 18cm, 25cm and 30cm,
install the linen-rest wood board on the respective supports
using the grub-screws and bolts as in the sticker appearing on
the roller. The head of the screw and the longer side of the board
must face upwards.
5) The packaging material (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene,
wood, cardboard, nails, etc.) represent a safety hazard and
consequently must not be left within the reach of children.
Collect and keep for further transportation or long-term storage.
Before connecting up the appliance, check that the rating plate
details match those of the existing electric line. The appliance
must only ever be used for the purposes it was explicitly
designed for.
6) For tumble dryers: check that the steam electrical valve* is in
the drum.
7) Ensure that the instruction booklet is not left in the package and
lost.
(*Steam-heated machines only).
Before connecting up the appliance, check that the rating plate
details match those of the electric line the equipment is going to be
connected to. The appliance must only ever be used for the purposes
it was explicitly designed for.
4.4 GETTING THE APPLIANCE STARTED
4.4.1 LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS
This equipment offers no positioning difficulty other than a flat,

level and sturdy surface. Align and level by the use of a spirit level.
For servicing purposes, it is advisable to leave a 500mm clearance
between the rear face of the machine and the wall behind.
Besides, when machines are installed in a line, leaving at least a
20mm clearance between one machine and the next is recommended.
Washing machines
Provide for a floor drain at an elevation below the machine drain,
that can be connected to the washing machine, using the supplied
elbow fitting.
CAUTION! Repeat levelling after moving the machine.
4.4.2 ALLOWABLE AMBIENT CONDITIONS FOR PROPER
SERVICE
Let these conditions be known to direct machine users.
- TYPE OF ROOM: CLOSED
- MINIMUM TEMPERATURE: 10°C (note: when ambient
temperature is below 10°C, electronic parts may work
irregularly)
- MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE: 40°C
- RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 75% H.R.
- LIGHTING: 100 LUX (value valid for Italy; given the variety
of regulations regarding luminance in working premises, for
other national provisions, refer to the specific national codes).
4.5 FOR ALL HIGH-SPEED WASHER MODELS AND
VERSIONS: TILT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
All high-speed washers are equipped with a device that terminates
spinning steps when severe imbalance poses a threat to the
mechanical parts composing the machine.
To reach this safety device open the machine's top cover (cfr.
relevant instructions in the manual section For the repair personnel).
This device is at the topmost point of the tub. Adjust this switch only
after the wall cutoff switch was turned off and the machine was
disconnected from the power mains.
Adjustment of this switch is reserved for the authorised and
qualified personnel.
This device consists of a microswitch that is fixed to the machine's
frame. It is is driven by a flexible rod located inside a metal window
that moves integral with the drum of the washer. When severe
vibrations occur, the window moves the rod and the safety device
trips (cfr. also alarm "E9" and alarm description).
During machine installation, after removing the transportation
brackets and with the drum empty, position the flexible rod at the
centre of the window, so that abnormal tripping of this safety device
is avoided.
For proper positioning, use the screws that fasten the support of the
microswitch and position this properly.
4.6 FOR ALL HIGH-SPEED WASHER MODELS AND
VERSIONS: WATER CONNECTION
Washers feature a warm water inlet (for approximately 60°C) and
two cold water inlets (cold and soft), ¾" and ½" in diameter (see
rating plate details for the specific model).
The incoming water pressure must be comprised between 0.5 and
5 bar (0.05 Mpa and 0.5 MPa).
Make arrangements for the distance from wall couplings not to
exceed the length of the piping attached.
If a warm water source is not available, mount a T pipe on the soft
cold water coupling and connect the warm water inlet too to the
cold-water source. As for cold and warm water consumption, refer
to the rating plate details for the specific model.
All machine water inlets must be fed water.
CAUTION! When assembly is complete, ensure that the piping is
not crushed and that water flows normally.
4.7 STEAM CONNECTION (STEAM-HEATED
MACHINES ONLY)
The equipment features a steam inlet for saturated dry steam. Inlet
diameter depends on the machine model (cfr. technical details).
The incoming steam pressure must be comprised between 1 and 6
bar (0.1 MPa and 0.6 MPa).
Refer to the rating plate details.
4.7.1 FOR ALL WASHER VERSIONS
The water in the tub can be heated either directly or indirectly. In
the latter instance, a connection for the recovery of condensed water
will have to be provided for (diameter as per technical details).
If the machine is subject to ISPESL inspection, keep all ISPESL
documents in the room where the washer is lodged.
When the connection is done make sure that the piping is not
crushed or blocked.
4.8 DRAIN CONNECTION
Make certain that the distance between the machine drain outlet
and the floor drain is not longer than the drain elbow supplied.
Water is drained through a direct-action motor-driven valve that
stays open (by gravity - no pump) when the machine is not powered.
Therefore, the floor drain must always be below the drain outlet of
the machine. The diameter of the floor drain must never be smaller
than the diameter of the hose supplied.
Drain flow rate and diameter: refer to the rating plate data for the
specific model.
CAUTION!
- The draining pipe must be able to resist a temperature of 90°C.
- Install a U-trap between the hose supplied and the drain.
- Check that the piping is not crushed or blocked.
4.9 AIR BREAK
The washing machine is equipped with an air-break device that
stops wastewater from flowing back into the drinkable water system
in the event of a depression. This device has a rear or side outlet that
may release innocuous steam during heating. Do not close or couple
the air-break outlet.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED
BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION.

5.3 COMPLETE APPLICATION RANGE
Your washing machine was designed to wash synthetics, woolens,
cottons and linens. Choose your cycle by the appropriate button as
suggested on the labels attached to the garments to be washed.
5.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DETAILS
The built-in electrical system is composed of protection and control
devices duly lodged on a plate in the top part of the machine. The
relevant diagrams and lists appear later on in this manual.
6. WASHER OPERATION
Make sure that the cold water, warm water and steam taps are open
(the latter applies only to steam-heated machines).
Turn ON the automatic overcurrent circuit breaker on the wall. If
the door is closed, the machine will then be ready to be started using
the appropriate button (START/STOP) on the front panel.
To select and start a cycle and also to program optional functions,
refer to the block diagrams later on in this manual.
Make your cycle selection following the temperature and wash
action suggested in the labels attached to the garments (see cycle
description below), sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
load the drum and close the door.
Then fill the various dispenser bins with soap (foam-damping type)
according to cycle selection, i.e.:
A prewash compartment (when scheduled in the selected wash
cycle)
B main wash compartment
C compartment for optional conditioning agent (when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
D compartment for optional conditioning agent (when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
E compartment for optional conditioning agent (when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
ECONOMY FUNCTION WARNING:
This function simply reduces the amount of water and soap used
with reference to factory-foreseen amounts. NOT to be interpreted
as "half-load button".
To start the cycle, press the START / STOP push button with the
door closed: The door will automatically be locked. Cycle progress
will be shown on the control panel display unit.
Pressure on the START / STOP button also causes the timer to
commence the countdown to the end of the cycle.
Such time values are those that the machine has stored in a previous
equivalent cycles. Therefore they are not binding but represent a
mere reference.
6.1 FAST-FORWARDING AND END OF CYCLE
When a wash cycle is in progress, each pulse on the START / STOP
causes the cycle to move one step forward. If the same button is held
down for more than 5 seconds, the cycle will move straight to the
end, which will consequently cause the door to unlock.
Each time a button is pressed the machine beeps briefly. It beeps for
15 seconds at the end of the cycle.
It is however possible to stop the beeper by pressing the " - " push
button or even inhibit the beeper altogether through programming.
6.2 ALARM AND FAULT SIGNALING
When faults arise (voltage drop, supertemperature, water level
error in the drum) the equipment notifies the user by a number of
alarms that appear on the front panel DISPLAY. All alarm details
are dealt with in the "SAFETY MEASURES" chapter.
6.3 CYCLE STEPS
The control display reads the various steps, i.e.:
1) WEIGHING - The machine weighs the laundry. Weighing can
be automatic (standard) or manual. This step can only be
performed at the beginning of the cycle.
2) SOAK - Soak step underway (when scheduled).
3) PREWASH - Prewash step underway (when scheduled)
4) WASH - Wash step underway
5) RINSE - This message is read when the machine is performing
any rinsing step in the cycle.
6) SPIN - Final or intermediate spin underway
7) DISTRIBUTION - Distribution step underway
At any rate, every step is read along with a description explains the
relevant details.
When the end of the cycle is reached, the door is automatically
unlocked: then it will be possible to open the door using the handle
and pick the clean laundry.
CAUTION! Never force the door open. Open by hand only after it
has been unlocked.
At any rate, before opening the door make sure that the drum has
stopped, the water has been drained and the temperature inside the
drum is below 40°C .
Should a potential drop occur during the wash cycle, it will be
possible to open the door after about 90 sec.; in case of emergency
or defect of the door-opening device, to open the door jerk the
manual puller downwards (see fig. 2).
To reach the manual puller it is necessary to unscrew the two fixing
screws with a cross-bit screwdriver and withdraw the machine's
lower front panel. After the door has been unlocked manually, open
it using the handle as explained above and then put the panel back
in place.
6.4 CONFIGURATION OF SETTINGS
Besides the "START/STOP" and the "ECO" push-buttons, the
machine has 4 more buttons for cycle selection and special functions.
More precisely, with the door closed and before starting a cycle, the
programming mode can be entered by pressing the "MODE" push-
button.
For further details cfr. the block-diagram attached.
WARNING: if a potential drop should occur during a programming
session, changes will not be saved and it will be necessary to repeat
the programming procedure from the beginning.
6.5 PROGRAMMIMG BY PC - OPTIONAL
Washers can also be programmed via PC through a serial port. To
this purpose the washers feature an ad-hoc RS232 serial port at the
rear (OPTIONAL).
To enable the "data transmission and reading" mode it will be
necessary to switch the washer on while holding down the "MODE"
key: the displays will read "HOST COMPUTER" only.
For further details, contact your seller or the after-sales service.
CAUTION!
Do not try to read or change machine programming, unless you
have the ad-hoc cable supplied by the manufacturer, as this could
cause severe damage to the electronic boards.
If you wish to change machine programming, contact your seller or
the after-sales service.
6.6 PROGRAMMIMG BY SMART CARD
Washers can also be programmed using a SMART CARD. As a
matter of fact, the Smart Card reader featured as standard can save
or load the machine-control firmware.
www.groupdynamics-laundry.com
[email protected]

6.6.1 WASH PROGRAMS

6.6.2 FIRMWARE
To save and load the firmware, insert the Smart Card when the
machine is off. When the machine is then turned on the system will
react by showing the following messages:
a) Invalid card: the display will read "invalid card": remove the
card. As soon as it is removed the machine will resume
standard readings. At this stage also the cycles card will be
considered invalid.
b) Correct card: the display will read "software card" and will
graphically inform the user that the firmware is being transferred
from the Smart Card to the G400 (firmware upgrade): Loading
the firmware from the G4 controller to the Smart Card is not
possible.
If a software card is inserted when the machine is on, the G400
control will start the card identification routine and will allow no
further action.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to read or program the machine using SMART
CARDS other than the original one (ATM cards, credit cards, other
service cards etc.) as they will be irretrievably damaged. The
manufacturer undertakes no liability for incorrect or improper use
of the Smart Card reader on the machine.
If you need to change machine programming by this system,
contact your seller or the after-sales service.
6.7 USEFUL ADVICE
Remember that loading 80% of the rated capacity provides better
wash results.
Mind that more soap does not mean cleaner: on the contrary, using
too much washing agents leads only to unnecessary pollution. The
right amount of soap is indicated by the manufacturer according to
the hardness of the water used.
Unless specifically advised against, the use of the reduced water
and temperature cycles is warmly recommended, in order to cut
back water and energy consumption and consequently reduce cycle
length.
Before loading the drum make sure that buttons, zips, clasps and
buckles are facing inside Check that the pockets are empty.
At the end of a working day do the following:
- leave the door open;
- turn the machine off by the master switch;
- close the warm water, cold water and steam taps (the latter applies
to steam-heated machines only);
- turn the wall circuit breaker off.
6.8 THE WEIGHING FUNCTION
The washing machine is fitted with a special function that informs
the user how many kilos of laundry he/she has loaded onto the
drum. When this value is available, the machine proportions the
amount of water and detergents to the real load and not to a the
standard theoretical full-load value.
The weighing function is fully automatic: all the user has to do is
load the drum, select the desired program, close the door and push
the "START / STOP" button.
To change the weighting function from automatic to manual it is
necessary to alter the settings using a PC connection and the ad-hoc
software. Contact the technical after-sales service for further
details.
CAUTION! When the machine performs the weighing function
automatically, the weight value read NEVER appears on the
display. This occurs only when the weighing function is manual.
6.9 WASH PROGRAMS
Cycle steps are detailed in the user-friendly tables attached.
Generally speaking, the first 9 cycles feature automatic weighing,
cycle 10 rinses and spins only, and the last 9 cycles are clones of the
first nine cycles except for the weighing function, which is
DISABLED. Cycle 20 is empty (customizable). At any rate, ALL
cycles can be customized using a PC and the ad-hoc software.
Contact the technical after-sales service for further details.
CAUTION!
If the machine has been programmed via PC or optional functions
have been enabled, the cycle tables provided below do not apply.
The manufacturer reserves the right to change cycle the features or
the machine's
6.10 ADVICE
Do not leave the machine on to no purpose. TURN the master switch
OFF when the machine is not being used.
During use:
- Only open the door after the drum has come to a complete stop and
it has been drained.
- In case of a potential drop during a washing cycle, the door may
be opened after about 90 sec. In case of emergency or defect of the
door opening device, it is possible to open the door by jerking the
manual puller downwards (see fig.1). Before opening the door make
sure that the drum has come to a complete stop, that the water has
been drained and that the temperature is below 40°C.
- Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, check that the wall
circuit breaker is off and the warm water, cold water and steam taps
are closed (the latter applies to steam-heated machines only).
- Do not machine-wash fabrics that have been cleaned, dampened,
washed or stain-removed with inflammable or explosive substances.
Otherwise, hand-wash them first.
- Keep inflammable liquids far from the washing machine, in a dry
and ventilated spot, out of the reach of outsiders.
- Keep cleaning products and washing powder far from the
equipment. If possible, keep them closed in a cabinet.
- Do not hamper air inlets or heat-exchanging openings. Keep an
appropriate distance between the machine and the walls or other
objects.
7. SAFETY PROCEDURES
During operation, the machine monitors working conditions and,
in case of malfunction, displays the relevant alarm signals.
Such signals will flash on the display.
When alarms arise, some of them can be removed by switching the
machine off and then on again. These removable alarms also cause
the door to be unlocked, although 90 seconds after the alarm occurs.
To remove the alarm signal from the display unit, either switch the
machine off and then on again (to disconnect and reconnect the
card) or wait for 5 minutes: the alarm will be called off automatically
(see the specific alarm management section).
Of course, if the cause for the alarm persists, the alarm signal will
be there again even after switching the machine back on or after the
automatic reset caused by program restart (the user must press the
START/STOP push button).
7.1 PARTICULAR FEATURES OF THE "MOTOR
FAILURE" ALARM
For some alarm types involving the inverter / motor, reset may occur
automatically.
Then when an inverter alarm arises, the motor goes to idle for 90
seconds (8kg model), 120 seconds (11kg model), or 150 seconds
(18kg model). The inverter too stays "idle" during that time.
After the time indicated the machine resumes operation from the
step right after the one in which the alarm occurred.
This procedure can be repeated for 5 times maximum. Then the
program is aborted and the door is unlocked after a further 150 sec
safety time.
The alarm will stay on in the display for 300 secs. Then the machine
will reset automatically, and will be ready and waiting for a new
start to be given.
The buzzer only trips when the program is interrupted. The only
notice given all through the attempts at finishing the programmed
step is the alarm signal on the display.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
8. INFORMATION ON SPECIAL USE AND
SAFETY MEASURES
When carrying out the first cycle, verify the following:
- Soap dispensers must stay clean.
- Perform a 90°C cycle to remove all manufacturing residues.
- The operator must be able to check soap compartments with ease.
Place a platform if necessary.
- Make certain that laundry trolleys are lower than the door's bottom
edge.
- If need be, mount appropriate bumpers to prevent trolleys from
impacting and damaging the door.
- Never open the soap compartment when the machine is being
filled with water or it is heating. Some models are standard-fitted
with a device that puts the machine to pause at once. Close the
dispenser and press the START button to begin the cycle again.
8.1 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE BY THE USER
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION, CHECK THAT
THE WALL CIRCUIT BREAKER IS OFF AND THE WATER
TAPS ARE CLOSED. THE DRUM MUST BE MOTIONLESS

NOT EXCEED 40°C.
The machine requires no special maintenance, thanks to its
ergonomic design and to the use of very reliable, first-quality parts.
Periodically clean the external panels with a damp cloth. Never use
inflammable or abrasive products and rub in the direction of the
satin-finish.
Always keep forced-cooling slots and openings free from dust (the
fan sucks fresh air from the room), which are on the rear of the
machine, where the speed inverter is housed.
NEVER WASH THE APPLIANCE USING WATER JETS.
PRIOR TO CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY AGAIN BY THE
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER ON THE WALL, PUT ALL THE
PANELS REMOVED BACK IN PLACE.
8.2 EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND

8.2.2 SAFETY DEVICES
- Door closed safety microswitch cuts off power to the whole
auxiliary circuit and consequently stops the machine.
- Electronic overcurrent device (overload cutout) within the motor:
disconnects power supply in the event of coil overheating.
- Air-break system in the soap dispenser: prevents wastewater from
polluting the drinkable water system in the event of a depression.
- Normally open drain valve: enables safe door manual opening by
means of the manual puller.
- Tilt switch: avoids mechanical damage in the event of irregular
loads.
- Fuse-fitted heating elements. the electric circuit is disconnected in
case of malfunction.
8.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BY TECHNICAL
PERSONNEL
All periodic maintenance operations must be carried out by the
authorized after-sales service or by qualified personnel.
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION, CHECK THAT
THE WALL CIRCUIT BREAKER IS OFF AND THE WARM
WATER, COLD WATER AND STEAM TAPS ARE CLOSED
(THE LATTER APPLIES TO STEAM-HEATED MACHINES
ONLY). THE DRUM MUST BE MOTIONLESS AND DRAINED
AND THE INSIDE TEMPERATURE MUST NOT EXCEED
40°C.
Be very careful during maintenance. NEVER override or ignore
safety devices for any reason. Use only original spare parts. If doubts
should arise, contact your sales person immediately, explaining
what the fault is and indicating some information on the machine:
model and serial number (details reported on the rating plate
appearing on the rear of the machine or inside the door, where
applicable).
Monthly checks
Make certain that the filters located on the outer part of the electrical
valves are clean.
Make certain that the steam valve strain is clean (this applies to
steam-heated machines only).
Clean the soap dispenser from any soap remains.
Clean the door gasket and the tub inlet with a cloth. Always keep
forced-cooling slots and openings free from dust (the fan sucks
fresh air from the room), which are on the rear of the machine,
where the speed inverter is housed.
Yearly checks
Make certain that the floor fastening nuts are securely closed (if
applicable).
Check the wear of the belts and replace them if necessary. If more
than one of them is worn out, replace the entire set of belts.
Make sure that the safety devices are working properly (e.g. the lock
microswitch and the tilt microswitch).
Check that the screws for electrical connection are tight on the
contactors and power inlet terminal strip.
Disassemble the drain valve and clean it inside from lint.
Check that the heating elements are in perfect condition and clean
them from scale.
BEFORE TURNING THE MACHINE BACK ON BY THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER, PUT ALL THE PANELS REMOVED
BACK IN PLACE.
8.4 AUTOMATIC MAINTENANCE REQUEST
The machine saves the number of cycles it executes. After 1000
programs the machine will flash a message from cycle 1001
onwards.
More precisely, when starting a new cycle by the START/STOP
button, the machine will enable the buzzer and will flash the writing
" MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" for 10 seconds. Then it will carry
out the selected cycle normally. At every cycle, 50 cycles before
cycle 1000, the display puts out the message "MAINTENANCE IN
50 cycles" to warn the user that maintenance will be required. In this
case the buzzer will not be enabled.
When this message is displayed, request yearly maintenance.
To dismiss this reading and start the 1000 cycle count from scratch,
press the push-button "- " for at least 5 secs with the door closed.
Then the total number of cycles performed will be viewed and, if the
push button "-" is pressed again within 10 seconds, the count will
be set to zero and will be ready to start back again.
Before resetting the G400 control it will be necessary to enter a date
and a text. The control will first read the question "date: 01/01/01".
Move the cursor to the first "0". Increase or decrease the selection
as needed using keys "+" and "-" and confirm using the "!:
ENTER" key. Then the cursor will automatically move to the
second figure of the date ("1"). Proceed accordingly until the date
is complete and then press the "!: ENTER" key. The G400 control
will prompt the word "technician": enter the name of the person
who performed the maintenance.
Press the "SEL" key: the cursor will become bigger so that you can
select the letters using keys "+" and "-". Confirm by the "!:
ENTER" key. The cursor will move to the next position so that you
can select the next letter as above. The control count cannot be reset
unless these two values are entered.
This information will be stored and is available in the SERVICE
menu, MAINTENANCE entry, along with the number of cycles
performed from the last maintenance event and the total number of
cycles carried out.
8.5 IDENTIFYING AND ORDERING SPARE PARTS
To identify the codes of spare parts refer to the exploded drawings
and relevant list. Once you have identified your codes, send a
standard written order to the manufacturer, mentioning clearly
machine model, serial number, feed voltage and frequency and, of
course, including the code and description of the spare part needed.
9. MACHINE DECOMISSIONING,
DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL
