FAULT FINDING - Factory 30 - Arcadia Models

IMPORTANT NOTE: Disconnect the machine from Electricity Supply before any testing.General Information

If the machine has an Earth Fault it can display erroneous fault codes.Repair any Earth Faults on the machine before using the code guide on the previous page.Some faults will not show up as error codes:-

The module will not show up a fault if the water to the machine is turned off or if the solenoid valves are open circuit.Certain motor faults, will not show as a fault, the door will lock but the machine will not start a programme (motor plug disconnected, faulty brushes etc.).Open circuit field windings will signal fault F01.If the motor Thermoprotector (toc) - if fitted - operates in the middle of a cycle, the machine will stop with no fault code indicated, when the thermoprotector (toc) resets the cycle will then restart.If the element goes open circuit in the middle of a programme and the pressure switch is in the full position, the machine may not signal a fault but will wash for a long extended period.Note: This chart refers to both "commutator" (brush motor) and "three phase" (non-brush motor) models. Refer to text for appropriate information.Note: This chart refers to both "commutator" (brush motor) and "three phase" (non-brush motor) models. Refer to text for appropriate information.

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the machine and provides a great deal of information.The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear in section A (the display will show the maximum duration of the cycle chosen, which may decrease after several minutes, since the effective duration of the programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the DELAY option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear.Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the machine during the set wash cycle, or the values selected most recently,if these are compatible with the set wash cycle.

The 'wash cycle phases' corresponding to the selected wash cycle and the 'wash cycle phase' of the running wash cycle appear in section B:

The icons corresponding to 'temperature', 'spin' and 'delayed start' (working from the left) are displayed in section C.The 'temperature' bars indicate the maximum temperature level which may be selected for the set cycle.The 'spin' bars indicate the maximum spin level which may be selected for the set cycle.The 'delay' symbol , when lit, indicates that the set 'delayed start' value has appeared on the display.

17 of 31



DOOR LOCKED INDICATOR LIGHTThe 'Door Locked' indicator light will come on when you press the START / PAUSE button and will stay lit throughout the programme. When the programme has finished the indicator light will go out and you can then open the door, a double CLUNK noise will be heard from the door lock Solenoid at this point.

If the door is not closed properly prior to starting a programme the door lock solenoid will 'CLUNK' approximately 5 times followed by a flashing DOOR indication in the display window, every 5 seconds from then onwards there will be an audible beep.Push the door closed and press START / PAUSE button to commence the cycle.

WASH OPTIONSIf the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.If the selected option is not compatible with a previously selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been activated will be illuminated.

Extra RinseBy selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Easy IronBy selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases.At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the 'Easy Iron' and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the text 'END OF CYCLE' will appear on the display. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the 'Easy Iron' button.

CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLETO CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE, use the relevant buttons:Modify the temperature and/or spin speedThe machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most recently used settings if they are compatible with the selected cycle.The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash 'OFF' setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the 'OFF' setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.Exception: if the 3 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting a Delayed StartTo set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option has been activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text 'OFF' appears on the display.

Set the Desired Wash IntensityOption makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to 'Normal' as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the 'Wool' cycle, which is automatically set to 'Delicate').For heavily-soiled garments press button until the 'Intensive' level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains.For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the 'Delicate' level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.

Modify the Cycle Settings• Press the button to enable the option; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on.• Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off.If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.If the selected option is not compatible with a previously selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been activated will be illuminated.The options may affect the recommended load value and/or the duration of the cycle.

DETERGENTS & LAUNDRY

Detergent Dispenser DrawerGood washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact a build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

• Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

• Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*). Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.

Compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.Compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Garments Requiring Special CareAnti Stain: The cycle 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.Whites: Use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.Anti Allergy 60°: Use the cycle 7 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.Anti Allergy 40°: (cycle 8) cycle suitable for cotton laundry and other resistant fabrics to guarantee the removal of pollen and cat and dog hair already at 40°.Lingerie: For undergarments of any colour, in any fabric. Use special wash cycle 9.Baby: Use the special wash cycle 10 to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.Bed & Bath: Use the cycle 11 to wash bed linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance and helps you save time and energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent.Cotton Standard 20°: (cycle 5) Ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Automatic FeaturesAuto Half LoadAuto half load adjusts the amount of water in the wash load depending on the absorbency of garments in the wash load.

Fabric Conditioner DispensingDispensing of fabric conditioner is achieved by energising both the Pre-Wash and Main Wash cold valves.

Load Balancing SystemBefore every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Out of Balance ProtectionThe machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent spinning with an unbalanced load. A calculation via the motor tacho and control board detects the current drawn by the motor during distribution.Before each spin, the controls senses the load within the drum and if the load is calculated to be out of balance the machine will not automatically spin to the full speed.

There are two levels of out of balance, level 1 @ 480 grammes and level 2 @ 1030 grammes.

If the out of balance is below level 1 the machine will spin at full speed, if between level 1 and level 2 the machine will spin at the reduced speed of 600 rpm and above level 2 spin at reduced speed of400 rpm. There are 15 attempts at level 1 with 57 attempts in total, this being the same for both cotton and synthetic spins.

The wool spin has one level of out of balance @ 1.8 kg. The controls will make three attempts to achieve a balance, if after three attempts a balance is not achieved; the spin is reduced to a speed of 90 rpm.

DRAINAGE CONNECTIONS

A. Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a draining duct or a wall drain fixed at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor. See Fig.1.

B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the hose supplied to the tap.See Fig.1.The free end of the hose should not be under water.Note: We advise against the use of hose extensions. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Under Sink Connections: The drain hose may be connected to an under sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot. See Fig.2.

Note: The hose must also be raised up in a similar way to a standpipe installation to prevent backflow of waste water from the sink into the machine. See Fig.1.

Electrical ConnectionsBefore plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:- the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law.- the supply voltage is included within the values indicated in the Specifications page.- the socket is compatible with the washing machines plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

Location! The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is

sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.! When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.! The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.

WARNING!The company denies all liability if and when these warnings are not respected.

The first wash cycleOnce the appliance has been installed and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.
