The machine (with rubber feet) must be placed on a flat, solid bottom (concrete
or fixed ground). When using a metal socle or with machines with steam heating,
the machine (without feet) must be anchored on the foreseeing points (A) in
the base (bolts M10). (see Dimensions 2).
The machine must be placed entirely level. For easy maintenance it is recom-
mended to keep a minimal distance of 600 mm between the wall and the back
of the machine.
If several machines are placed next to each another, there should be a minimal
distance of 30 mm between each machine.
To prevent damage during transportation, the machine has been
equipped with two red transport brackets (A) to eliminate every
possible movement of the tub.
After the machine has been placed level, take off the backpannel
and remove these transport brackets.
Important
The machine must never be activated before removing
these transport brackets.
Removal of the transport safety
The machine is delivered with hoses with 3/4" connections. These hoses fit the
water inlet valves of the machine and the main water inlet taps. To ensure the
optimal functioning of the water inlet valves, the water pressure on the inlet
should be between 0,5 and 10 kg/cm² (7 and 145 psi). If the pressure is too
low, the cycle time will increase considerably.
In case of boiler fed machines, a minimum of hot water of 90°C should
be available: HC60: 46l. HC65: 55 l. HC75: 65 l. HC100: 80l.
HC135: 100l. H165: 120l.
Water connection
Water drain The machine is equipped with a drain valve with 6/4" outer diameter (50 mm).
This drain valve should be connected to the drain by means of the drain elbow
which is delivered with the machine.
The diameter of the main drain should be adapted to the water flow and the
number of machines. It should be sufficient to handle at least 80L/min. per
machine.
 It is necessary to connect the main drain at least on one side to an open air-
brake to allow ventilation.
Important
The bolt pattern for the fixation of the HC60 machine is foreseen in the
back panel of the cabinet. Put this panel on the floor and indicate the
holes (see page 7).

Electrical connection of
the liquid soap pumps
On machines equipped with a liquid soap connection, connect the wires
directly on the print board next to the ground wire connection (option).
Connect as indicated on the wiring diagram.
The two connectors on the right give a tension of 220V ~ (max. 4A) which
can be applied to drive 220V ~ soap pumps. If more than 4A is required,
an external tension will have to be used. 6 connections have been provi-
ded, of which one (S6) can be used to drive a waterproofing pump (e.g.
for rain coats, etc.).
The 220V can be transformed to other values to drive other type soap
pumps.
Example: pumps 24V ~.
Also, pumps with different operating tension can be combined.
Example: 5 pumps 220V ~ and 1 pump 24V ~.
The liquid soap connection consists of 8 connections for liquid soap
(SI….S).
The central opening is used for ventilation.

Connection of a central operating
panel for coinmachines (option)
At the backside above the main connectors, you find a printboard, to which the
central operating panel for coinmachines can be connected.
The right connectors form a potential free output contact as a result of which the
operating
panel detects when the machine is activated or not.
The left connectors receive the signal, by means of which a machine is chosen
through the operating panel.
There are 3 different variations possible according to the output voltage of the
operating panel.
Remark :
If a machine is equipped with this kind of printboard or if a printboard
has been built in, the resistance of the cycle contact (A) may no longer
be present on the main printboard.
When this resistance is present, it has to be cut out of the main
printboard.

Sort the linen according to the type and required temperature of the linen. Empty
all pockets of the garments so that no garments can be damaged and no left
articles can cause damage to the machine. Turn sleeves of shirts, blouses inside
out. It is recommended to mix small and large items to enhance the drop of the
linen during the wash cycle and hence improve the wash quality. Wash loads
of below 80% of machine capacity can obstruct the proper functioning of the
machine and can damage the machine. Overloading the machine can also lead
to a bad wash result.
It is recommended to only use detergents with a “foam-breaker”. These are
often found in the launderette or laundry or can easily be found in retail stores.
Recommended doses are mentioned on the detergent packing.
Overdosing of detergents can lead to reduced wash results and “overfoaming”
which can damage the machine.
Close the door
Open the door.
On machines with a start button, the programmer can contain up to 100 programs
(0-99). The program number is displayed on the right display.
By pressing the SELECT-button (P), the next program will be displayed.
By pressing the ECO-button (E), the previous program will be displayed. By
keeping this button pressed, this function will be accelerated.
Remark
Select program “0” by keeping the SELECT-button pressed continuously for
more than 5 seconds.

Start the wash-cycle by pressing the Start button (S) and releasing it immedi-
ately. The door is sealed and the cycle-LED lights up.
During the first 2 minutes after starting, the program number is blinking and
you can change the program in case of a possibly wrong selection.
To do so, select another program with the SELECT button (P). This new
program will start immediately.
Start the machine
Display information
The left display will indicate the temperature of the wash bath - in °C or °F
(on machines where this function has been selected).
Indications of program
sequence
The central display shows the remaining time to the end of the wash cycle.
For programs which are being run for the first time, the machine will take a
theoretical time estimate. If this time indication does not correspond to the real
cycle time, the cycle time will be corrected from the second cycle onwards
(Self-Teaching function of the machine).
This correction will have to be preprogrammed and is not activated on program
numbers higher than 20. The corrected time will also be lost when the power
has been cut from the machine for more than 24 hours.
The right display will continue to show the selected program number.
If a Level-stop was programmed (which halts the programmer during the filling
of the cylinder) and/or a Heat-stop (which stops the programmer during the
heating up of the wash bath, then the respective LED’s light up in the display.
Once the required water level and/or temperature have been reached, the LED
is turned off and the internal programmer advances again.
Wash cycle-LED’s
Each program segment has a corresponding LED. Each of these 6 LED’s light
up when the appropriate segment is executed. This way, the program sequence
can be accurately followed.
When a LED blinks, the machine is taking up water.
When a LED blinks slowly, the machine is heating up the water.
Spin-LED’s
When the water is drained at the at the end of a program segment and the
machine spins if so desired, the left spin-LED (intermediate spin) will light
up together with the cycle-LED.

Manual interventions during
the program
Following functions can be activated during the program:
F1 = Time stop
To increase the duration of a program segment beyond its originally pro-
grammed duration.
F2 = Soak
To soak heavily soiled linen
F3 = Reduced wash action
To avoid wear of delicate garments
F4 = Execute high spin as low spin
To avoid creasing delicate linen
F5 = Rapid advance
To skip certain program segments
F6 = No spin
To give total protection to delicate garments
F7 = on the left display appears the number of revolutions of the drum.
F8 = changing the number of revolutions at final spin. In order to limit the rpm
for delicate linen.
Selecting a function
Push the SELECT-button (P) at the time the special function
needs to be activated and keep the button depressed.
Now push the START-button (S) simultaneously and release same. Only now
release the SELECT-button (P).
The central display now shows F1 and this function is now active.
By pressing the SELECT-button (P) the next function
will appear on the central display. And so on up to F8.
To return to normal operation, press the START-button (S) and release.
A function is also terminated by selecting another function. Functions are also
automatically ended and switched off at the end of the each program.

18
4
Function F1 (Time stop)
During the wash cycle:
The wash time is stopped. The temperature, water level and wash action remain
the same as programmed.
During the wash cycle, this function remains active until the START button
(S) is pressed again.
During intermediate spin :
The intermediate spin normally lasts 1 minute.
By activating function F1, the machine will spin for nine minutes unless the
START button (S) is pressed earlier.
During final spin :
At final spin, you have high spin after low spin.
By activating F1 during low spin, this low spin will be extended to15 minutes
unless the START button (S) is pressed earlier.
If the 15 minutes of low spin have been completed, the high spin is automa-
tically canceled.
By activating F1 after the preprogrammed low spin, you will have a maximum
of 14 minutes of high spin unless the START button (S) is pressed earlier.
Adjustable stop time :
Here you can program a certain stop time. The display shows the countdown
of this extra time. When this time is expired, the function will appear auto-
matically and the program will continue.
Select F1 (see above).
The stop time can be programmed by means of the ECO button (E). By pres-
sing it once, the stop time is programmed for 10 minutes. From now onwards,
“F1” and “10” appear by turns on the middle display.
By pressing the ECO button (E) once more, you add each time 10 minutes.
After 50 minutes, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc... appear with a maximum of 4.0 hours.
By means of the START button (S), you can each time reduce 10 minutes.
Description of the functions
Remark :
The programmed stop time is executed after the decimal point in the right
display has extinguished.
The stop time cannot be programmed during spin.
Function F2 (soak)
This function can only be chosen during prewash, main wash and first rinse.
The cycle time is stopped. The bath is filled till high water level and heated up
to 40 °C (if a higher temperature was programmed, this will be followed).
As long as this temperature is not reached, the machine makes a reduced wash
action ( shorter action time and longer pause time). When the bath has reached
its temperature, the drum will make one left/right rotation every 4 minutes.
Should the temperature fall, the water will be heated again, during which the
action will be reduced again.
This function remains active until the START button (S) is pressed again.
Programmable soak time :
In the same way as for the stop time, you can program the soak time (see
programmable stop time).

19
4
Function F3 (reduced wash action):
By selecting F3, the wash action time and pause time will be reversed; unless
the wash action time was programmed to be shorter than the pause time.
Example: 12 sec. action/3 sec. pause becomes: 3 sec. action/12 sec. pause
6 sec. action/9 sec. pause remains: 6 sec. action/9 sec. pause
This function does not influence the cycle time - the program continues nor-
mally - and remains active until the START-button (S) is pressed.
Function F4 (execute high spin as low spin):
By activating this function, high spin will be automatically replaced by low
spin.
This function does not influence the cycle time - the program continues nor-
mally - and remains active until the START-button (S) is pressed.
Function F5 (rapid advance):
This function is mostly used by technicians and maintenance staff. It allows
to the program.
By pressing and releasing the ECO-button (E), the programs skips to the next
segment.
Function F6 (no spin):
This function eliminates all spin action.
Intermediate spin is replaced by a regular wash action. During final spin, only
the programmed low spin time will be completed as regular wash action. High
spin is skipped in its entirety.
This function influences the cycle time - the program continues normally - and
remains active until the START-button (S) is pressed.
Function F7 (indication of the rpm)
By using F7 the number of revolutions of the drum (rpm) appears on the right
display.
Function F8 ( changing the number of revolutions (rpm) at final spin)
By means of F8, the number of revolutions can be changed at high spin. The
programmed number of revolutions appears on the left display.
Each time you press the ECO button (E), the spin decreases with
25 rpm ( min.500).
Each time you press the START button (S), the spin increases with 25 rpm
(max. 999).
Attention!
If F5 is activated during final spin, this segment of the program will be
skipped as described above. It is however followed by a coast and tumble
time to disentangle the linen. This special function prevents the user from
opening the machine while the drum is still rotating and represents an im-
portant safety feature.
To return to normal operation, press the START-button (S).
Remark :
This function has to be selected before final spin has started.

End of a program At the end of a program, while the door is being released, the
left display shows End; and the Start-LED is switched off.
After that only the right display will continue to show the program number.
This is the end of the program.
Premature ending of the program
By pressing the START-button (S) during the program, the Start-LED is swit-
ched off and the water is drained from the machine. As long as the water has
not reached the safety level, the door will remain sealed and the display will
show “SLE” (Safety Level) on the left display. Afterwards the display will
temporarily show “End” on the same display and the Start-LED will be swit-
ched off. After that only the right display will continue to show the program
number. This is the end of the program.
Remark:
If any attempt is made to interrupt the program prematurely during a
spin phase of the program, all functions on the display will be temperary
replaced by blinking horizontal dashes. After that only the right display
will continue to show the program number and the door will be released.
This is the end of the program.
