2. OPERATING LOGIC:
2.1. PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS ANDTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS:
PROGRAMME SELECTOR:
The new circular programme selector features 5
backlit buttons, a central disc bearing the LOGO
and a ring with 12 blue leds between the buttons
and the disc. The leds around the ring light up to
indicate programme progress and, in the event of a
malfunction, the specific fault.
The MOON washing machine features many technological innovations, which are listed below:
WATER SYSTEM:
This machine features a water system designed
around two solenoid valves and a water dispenser,
connected by two hoses, which manage water
and detergent loading. With all programmes, the
appliance starts loading water with the first solenoid
valve, but activates the Oko system only with the
“Cotton 60°” programme. During the wash phase,
water is loaded as follows:
1. The washing machine loads water with the first
solenoid valve. (Flow 1)
2. Water is drained for two seconds (only for the
standard programme – Cotton 60°)
3. The machine finishes loading water with the second
solenoid valve, drawing the detergent into the drum.
(Flow 2)
During the rinse phase, the machine draws in fabric
softener with both solenoid valves.The flow of water
creates a cross-stream inside the dispenser (Flow 1
+ 2), generating a thrust that allows the water to exit
through all the holes, drawing fabric softener into the
drum and cleaning all the other detergent dispenser
compartments.

DETERGENT DISPENSER:
The detergent dispenser is located inside the
appliance, on the inside of the door.
It can be removed for cleaning by lifting it upwards
and carefully releasing the top cover.
The dispenser consists of three compartments: the
first (left to right) is for liquid detergents.
The second (middle compartment) is for powder
detergents, while the last (right-hand) is for fabric
softener.
VENT TUBE:
The vent tube is connected to the part of the tub
where the water inlet feed is normally connected.
The vent tube steam outlet is located next to the inlet
hose at the point where, in machines with hot water
solenoid valves, the solenoid valve hose connection
is usually situated.
DOOR SEAL / DOOR:
The water dispenser is located at the top of the door
seal, fixed with a metal plate.
The door does not allow you to see inside the drum;
the detergent dispenser is inside, and a small drip
tray provided with sponge has been fitted under it.

DRAIN PUMP:
The drain pump is equipped with a new self-cleaning
bayonet filter which prevents large objects such as
coins, buttons, etc. from ending up inside the pump,
thus avoiding blockages and noisy operation.
It is located at the bottom right-hand side of the
machine. To access the filter, simply turn the filter
cover anti-clockwise until the bayonet coupling
releases, allowing access to the filter.
CONDUCTIVITY SENSOR:
The Moon washing machine is equipped with a new
Conductivity Sensor located on the plastic tub next
to the Oko hose, as shown in the photograph.
The Conductivity Sensor manages the “30 min” or
“Daily” programme. Its functions are:
1. If the wash load consists of clothes to be washed
without detergent, the machine will load water
and then test the level of alkalinity in the wash
water; if no alkalinity is present, the machine will
activate the standard “30 min” wash cycle;
2. If, on the contrary, the sensor detects that the
machine has been loaded with laundry plus
detergent, it will activate two 15 minute rinse
cycles.
NB: The conductivity sensor is provided with
a gasket to guarantee seal and prevent water
leaks.
A plastic cover has been fitted on the filter to prevent
hands from coming into contact with the electrical
part of the pump, which must not be eliminated.

2.2. APPLIANCE OPERATION:
SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF:
The machine is switched on by pressing the On
button. The symbol on the button lights up, after
which the programme buttons start flashing and
the leds on the ring light up one after another. At
this point the machine is on Stand By and is ready
for use.
SELECTING/STARTING A
PROGRAMME:
Programmes are started by pressing the relative
programme button, upon which the washing machine
starts immediately.
The Power On button and the selected programme
button leds will remain lit, while the other programme
leds and all those around the ring will switch off.The
leds around the ring will light up one after another to
indicate programme progress.
PAUSE/RIAVVIO DEL PROGRAMMA IN CORSO:
PAUSE/RESTART PROGRAMME:
The Pause/Restart function is used for interrupting
a wash cycle, which can then be restarted from the
exact point in the cycle where it was interrupted.
When the button of the programme in progress is
pressed, the washing machine stops, the Power On
button remains lit, the leds around the ring light up and
start flashing, as does the selected programme led.
To restart the wash programme, simply press the
programme button once more.

RESETTING A PROGRAMME IN PROGRESS:
To reset a programme in progress, press and hold
the On button for more than 1 second.
The washing machine will switch off and the
programme in progress will be cancelled.
Before switching off, the washing machine
automatically runs a drain cycle, whether there is
water in the drum or not.
During draining, the Power On button flashes.
lampeggerà.
PROGRAMME PROGRESS:
The progress of the wash programme is indicated
by the leds around the ring.
These start to light up in a clockwise direction,
starting from the led at 12 o’clock.
As more leds light up, the previous ones remain lit.
AT THE END OF THE SELECTED
PROGRAMME:
When the wash programme ends, the Power On
led and the selected programme led remain lit,
while the leds around the ring flash. L’avanzamento

2.3. PROGRAMMES:
The wash cycle selection buttons correspond to the following wash programmes:
• Cotton Whites:
Standard 60° cotton wash cycle. (Spin 1200 rpm)
• Mixed coloureds/Easy Iron:
Wash cycle suitable for garments of mixed colours in cotton or synthetic fabric, with a
wash temperature of 40°.
The spin cycle must be suitably reduced to guarantee the Easy Iron function. (The spin
speed for this programme is 1000 rpm, except for the last 20 seconds at 1200 rpm).
• Gentle cycle with final spin:
To wash: delicate synthetics, cotton and wool press the “Delicates” button. After 3
seconds “Delicates” and “Rapid 30 min” will flash at the same time. Press “Delicates”
again to carry out washing that will finish with a gentle spin (Spin speed 600 rpm).
• Gentle cycle without final spin:
To wash: silk, curtains (do not use for wool) press the “Delicates” button. After 3
seconds “Delicates” and “Rapid 30 min” will flash at the same time. Press “Rapid 30
min” to carry out washing without final spin.
NB: At the end of this cycle, the machine will do a spin cycle and automatically empties
the water contained in the drum. It is advisable to immediately remove garments from
the washing-machine at the end of the cycle, in order to avoid excessive creasing.
• Rapid 30’/Rinse Only:
The washing machine uses the Conductivity Sensor to ascertain whether the user has
loaded laundry with detergent.
If clothing with detergent is loaded, the washing machine will activate the “Rinse Only”
programme, performing 2 15-minute rinse cycles.
If the Sensor detects no detergent, the washing machine will activate the “Rapid 30
minute” programme. (Spin speed 800 rpm)

5.2. AUTO TEST:
The Hardware Key (transparent - C0095669) is used to run the EVOII platform Autotest program.
A BLUE led will light up on the hardware key to indicate that the appliance is an EVOII machine. A
flashing RED led on the hardware key (when the key is slotted into the machine) indicates that the
electronic PCB is in communication with the hardware key. If the Hardware Key is unable to establish
a connection with the washing machine, the display shows the letters “ERR” in flashing mode.
Initial conditions before starting the Autotest procedure
1. Washing machine with no water in tub.
2. Door closed.
3. Switch on the appliance and plug the hardware key into the slot provided.
To start the Autotest procedure, press and release the button marked AUTOTEST. An audible signal
will be emitted and the message “AUTOTEST” will scroll across the display.
Autotest sequence for Washing Machine
- 1 litre of water for wash cycle solenoid valve.
- 1 litre of water for pre-wash solenoid valve
- 1 litre of water for fabric softener solenoid valve
- Movement at 25 r.p.m.
- Water is heated to 28°
- Drain and spin at 800 r.p.m.
- Stop.
IMPORTANT!!: If the washing machine functions correctly but has previously been stopped due to a FAULT,
instead of running the AUTOTEST programme, the FAULT in question will be indicated on the hardware key
display and also on the washing machine display, in various modes depending on the interface type.
