The machine must be placed on a flat, solid surface (metal base, concrete or solid
ground). It is recommended that the machine be anchored on the provided
places (A) in the base, especially in case of a plinth
(see Dimensions 2).
The machine must be placed entirely level. For easy maintenance it is recommen-
ded 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
four red transport brackets (D) to eliminate every possible movement of the tub.
After the machine has been placed level, take off the service- and the back panel
to remove these transport brackets.
Important
The machine must never be activated before removing these transport
brackets.
Water connection
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:
For the HF245: 160 l. HF304: 180l.
S 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 160L/
min. per machine.
S It is necessary to connect the main drain at least on one side to an open
air-brake to allow ventilation.
S When the main drain has not been sufficiently deodorized, every
machine should be installed seperately with a deodorizer.
Main power connection S Remove the cover plate at the back of the machine. (See dimensions (E)).
S Connect the power cable to the connectors.
220V 3AC
220V 3 phase (3AC) should be connected to the connectors “L1,L2,L3”.
The green/yellow grounding clamp has to be connected to the grounding
wire “PE”.
380 V 3AC + N
380 V 3 phase (3AC + N) has to be connected to the connectors
“L1,L2,L3”, the blue neutral to the “N” connector.
The green/yellow grounding clamp has to be connected to the groun-
ding wire “PE”.
S After connection, check the spin direction. The cylinder must spin in the
direction of the arrow, showed on the sticker on the door window
(clockwise).
A wrong spin direction can damage the motor, and can also cause water
to spurt from the soap dispenser.
S In case of wrong spin direction: switch the terminal clamps of the motor
Power of the breaker plugs: machine with steam heating or boiler fed machines without additional
electrical heating
Remark
Ignoring this instruction will inevitably cause damage to the bearings!
Connection of the liquid soap A rubber connection has been placed over the air break opening at the back
hoses of the machine. There are 5 holes in this rubber connection, through each
of which a liquid soap hose can be driven (S1...S5). Press the hoses until they
appear well inside the soap dispenser.
The central gap in the rubber connection remains and serves as air breaker.
Electrical connection of On machines equipped with a liquid soap connection, connect the wires
the liquid soap pumps 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 provided,
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.
Steam connection
1. Steam pipe
2. Steam cut-off valve 3/8"
3. Pipe coupling 3/8"
4. Steam filter 3/8"
5. Magnetic steam valve 3/8"
6. Curve MF 3/8"
7. Steam hose with appropriate pipe coupling 3/8"

Opening the door Push the red button on the door handle to open the door.
Fill the drum 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.
Remark
Select program “0” by keeping the SELECT-button pressed continuously for more
than 5 seconds.
Add detergent 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.
Economy Wash Moderately soiled linen can be washed using the Economy Wash function, which
reduces the water level of washes and rinses by 20%, allowing savings of water
and energy.
Press the ECO-button during the wash cycle to activate the economy wash
function. The ECO-LED will light up.
At the end of the program the ECO-function will be automatically eliminated. If
the ECO-function is required in the following wash cycle as well, reactivate this
function by repeating the actions described above.
11
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.
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.
12
Manual interventions during Following functions can be activated during the program:
the program
F1 = Time stop
To increase the duration of a program segment beyond its originally program-
med 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.
13
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.
14
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 important safety
feature.
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).
Remark :
This function has to be selected before final spin has started.
15
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.
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.
16
Programming:
After selecting the program, press the ECO-button (E) and keep it depressed.
Now push the START-button (S) simultaneously and release same. Only now
release the ECO-button (E).
The left display now shows “StO” (Stop) and the right display shows the program
number. The first program sequence LED is switched on.
Confirm by pressing the START-button (S) if a time stop is required in this phase
of the program. If no time stop is needed, press the ECO-button (E) to move on
to the next segment of the program. Run through the entire program in this way.
If needed, return to previous segments by pressing the SELECT-button (P).
Errors can be corrected by returning to the erroneously programmed time stop
in the segment and correcting by pressing the START-button (S).
After the final program segment all programmed time stops will be displayed and
the left display will show “End”. Confirm this program by pressing the START-
button (S) again. Now start the program.
Operation:
When a stop is reached during the run of the program, the time will be stopped.
The wash bath will be filled to the appropriate level and temperature and the
programmed wash action is executed.
The left display will alternately show temperature and “StO”, while the central
display is showing “F1”. Now, if so desired, additional detergents can be added.
When this has been done, press the START-button (S) to continue the run of
the program. To remove any possible remains of corrosive products in the tub,
the machine will rinse an additional 2 seconds.
Programming:
After selecting the program, press the SELECT-button (P) again and keep it
depressed.
Now push the START-button (S) simultaneously and release same. Only now
release the SELECT-button (P).
The left display now shows “DEL” (Delay). The central display shows “10”
(minutes). Every push on the SELECT-button (P) will add 10 minutes to the
delayed start time. Hours and minutes are separated by a decimal point: 1.5 stands
for 1 hour and 50 minutes. After 10, the counting is done by hours.
By pressing the ECO-button (E), the delay time can be counted down.
Operation:
After having set the desired delay time, the count-down can be started by
pressing the START-button (S). During the count-down the displays blink and
the remaining time is counted down. In the last hour the displays blink faster.
When the delay time has elapsed, the program is started automatically.
17
Programming:
First select the program which will be run last.
Now, press the START-button (S) and keep it depressed for at least 5 seconds.
The left display now shows “Add”. Now select the program which will be run
first.
The right display now shows both linked programs alternately: the first to be
run program during the longer time span alternating with the following program
displayed during the shorter time span.
This function is canceled by pressing the START-button (S) again for at least
5 seconds.
This function can be combined with an economy wash, with the functions F1
to F6 and with a programmed start. The freely programmable stop-function can
however only be executed during the first program.
Operation:
Press the START-button (S) to start the programs. The central display will show
the remaining time per program. The total time of both programs together is not
displayed.
The right display alternately shows the program in operation (during a longer
time span) and the second program to be executed (during the shorter time span).
After the first program has been run, only the second program number will be
displayed.
Cool down
This function allows to gradually lower the temperature of the wash bath to
prevent creasing of the linen.
During a cool down, the remaining program time on the central display will be
replaced by “cd”.
Power Failure
Should the power fall out during the program, the water will be drained and the
door can be opened after maximum 3 minutes. When the door remains locked,
and the power comes back up within 24 hours, the program will continue from
there, where it was at the time of the power failure.
If due to breakdown, the door is not unlocked automatically, you have to remove
the service panel (A) below and pull the ring (B), suspended on the left side, while
opening the door.
B Important:
A Before opening the door, check that all the water has been drained from the
tub and that the cylinder has come to a complete stop.
18
The machine is standard equipped with 10 programs (0+9). These have been
designed in cooperation with specialized detergent manufacturers to obtain the
best possible wash results using the most frequently used detergents.
Program 0 (starching) is mostly used in very special applications and is therefore
not displayed on the front panel.
19
B = Black Br = Brown
Gy = Grey Bu = Blue
Remark:
R = Red W = White Other executions are available as options.
PU = Purple W/B = White/black
Y/Gr = Yellow/green W/R = White/red
Tilt switch The tilt switch is mounted on the solid part of the machine. There is a window
around the probe of the tilt switch that is mounted on the movable part of the
machine.
Window When the machine goes out of balance by overloading or uneven distribution of
the linen, the tilt switch will interrupt this action to prevent damage to the machine.
Important
To guarantee good functioning, the probe should be centered horizontally
Probe and vertically at 1/3 from the bottom of the tilt window (when machine drum
is empty).
20
E3 (Eprom)
Remark :
For coin op machines, it is possible that a program number appears on the
right display in combination with E3.
This indicates a wrong price adjustment for this program. A coin value “0”
or bigger than “1000” was programmed.
E4 (water level)
The appropriate water level was not reached after 15 minutes.
E5 (Heating)
The wash bath did not reach the required temperature after 80 minutes of heating.
E6 (door lock)
The door lock was released during the wash cycle.
E7 (safety level)
The water was insufficiently drained, the machine did not spin and the water is
possibly still inside the tub.
E8 (temperature sensor)
The temperature sensor is probably broken or malfunctioning.
21
EA (tilt)
The tilt switch was activated 15 times during final spin and the final spin was
therefore skipped.
Eb (tilt switch)
The tilt switch is blocked.
The speed detection is not operating properly. The speed meter is probably out
of order or disconnected.
Remark
When a malfunction occurs during a program, the central display will
communicate the appropriate error message at the end of the cycle. When
this malfunction has been removed and a new program has been
selected, this error message also disappears.
When malfunctions E6, E7, E9 or Eb are detected at the start of the wash
cycle, the program will not be started and the error message will remain
on the display.
22
General maintenance S Clean the entire cabinet of the machine regularly and remove all traces of soap,
etc....
S Remove all detergent residue in the soap dispenser with hot water.
S Clean the door gasket and remove all detergents and other products.
S Shut off the main water, steam and power connections at the end of each day.
Do not change the setting of the water inlet taps on boiler fed machines once
these have been installed.
S It is recommended to leave the door and the soap dispenser open after use, to
ventilate the machine.
Periodical maintenance S The V-belts of the motors should be retightened after two to three months when
first used. This is necessary because these belts are subject to a one-time
stretching when first used. By ignoring this instruction, the belt starts to slip
after a few months and will brake shortly afterwards.
S Check regularly if the filters of the water inlet are not blocked by calcification.
S If a machine frequently skips the final spin, check whether the probe of the out
of balance switch is still in the appropriate position, that is horizontally
centered and vertically 1/3 from the bottom inside the window. (When the drum
is empty).
S An obstructed drain can cause frequent interruption of spinning for safety
reasons.
S The automatic lubricator needs to be replaced each year. (Order number: 212/
00002/00)
Repair and after-sales S In case of important malfunctions and deficiencies which you cannot resolve
service yourself, do not hesitate to contact the technical service of your distributor.
The manufacturer reserves the right to change the content of this instruc-
tion manual, at all times and without previous notice.
