This document is a user manual for Electrolux Professional washer extractors, specifically models WH6-20LAC, WH6-27LAC, and WH6-33LAC, which are part of the Clarus Vibe series, Type W3.... It provides comprehensive information on safety, handling, functions, maintenance, and disposal.
Function Description
The Electrolux Professional washer extractors are designed for commercial and industrial use, offering a wide range of wash programs suitable for various business segments. The machines are capable of water-wash of textiles and integrate advanced features for efficient and controlled washing processes. Users can create new wash programs directly on the user interface, and programs can be transferred between different machine models/sizes without parameter changes. The machines manage and control dosing pumps, including calibration and low-level alarms. They are equipped with automatic water, chemical, and energy saving features, adapting water levels and chemical dosing to the load weight. An optional integrated weighing system helps prevent over- and under-loading.

Usage Features
- User Interface: The machine features a touch-screen interface that supports gestures like tap, swipe, and scroll for navigation.
- Program Selection: Programs can be displayed as a list or a grid. Users can activate an information menu for detailed parameters of selected programs, including temperature, remaining time, duration, water levels, drum action, extraction speed, and dosing pumps.
- Load Information: Before starting a program, users can input information such as Operator ID, Batch number, Customer name, and Delivery day, which are stored in Statistics and included in reports.
- Program Control: Programs can be paused, stopped, and rapid advanced (if allowed by settings). For coin-operated machines, correct coin insertion is required to start.
- Program Editing: Users can copy and duplicate wash programs, and all parameters can be changed in duplicated programs. Individual program parameters can also be copied and pasted. Programs can be renamed, though factory-made programs cannot.
- Statistics: The machine tracks total program run hours, used chemicals, power failures, and other statistics.
- Dosing Pump Management: The "Pumps" menu allows management of dosing systems (Dosave, Jetsave, or other connected pumps). Users can select pump types (Peristaltic, Venturi, Manifold), set flush times, allocate chemicals to pumps, add branded names and pictures for chemicals, set chemical prices for cost calculations, prime pumps, and calibrate flow rates.
- Settings: Various machine settings can be adjusted, including:
- Language: Default language and timeout to default.
- Date and Time: Display settings for date and time.
- Display / Sleep timeout: Dimming brightness or showing a "Welcome screen" after inactivity. Custom welcome screens can be uploaded.
- Programs: Arrange active/inactive programs, select view mode (list/grid), choose visible fields at program start (Info, Operator ID, Batch ID, Customer ID, Delivery date), display end-washing consumptions, set program screen timeout, limit max pause time, and select region/country and business segment to filter factory-made programs.
- Buttons: Configure visibility of Pause, Stop, and Skip/Rapid advance buttons.
- Regret time: Time during which a program can be cancelled without losing paid money (for coin-operated machines).
- Chemical Selection Buttons: Configure visibility of buttons for detergent, bleach, and softener selection on the start screen.
- IWS overload/underload protection: Activate or deactivate.
- Timeout for buzzer: Set duration for buzzer activation at pause and program end.
- Show time: Display estimated program duration and remaining time.
- Repeated start: For test purposes.
- Inlet water: Adjust estimated temperature and drum filling flow rate for accurate program duration and water filling time. Set fast filling temp limit.
- Customers: Create a personal list of customers.
- Price programming: Set coin value, prices for programs and options, and enable free or one-time program starts.
- Power balance: The machine features a sophisticated system for optimal dewatering, adjusting drum rotation speed to avoid unbalance and vibration while maintaining high G-force.
- Cost calculation: Input supply voltage, energy, and water prices for accurate cost calculation. Adjust valve flow rates if water pressure is low.
- Detergent box: Adjust flush times for detergent compartments based on local conditions.
- Weight calibration: Perform zero calibration if displayed weight deviates.
- Happy hour: Set discounts for weekdays and times.
- Payment and Booking Systems: Supports serial communication protocols or digital outputs/inputs. Can be connected to internal coin input or external I/O unit. Allows setting coin pulse values and program prices. Additional prices for chemicals can be set in the Pump menu.
- Service Menu: Used for troubleshooting and functional tests. Allows turning on/off outputs, checking input status, controlling drum motor speed and direction, and performing specific tests (e.g., heat activation requires sufficient water, motor requires door lock). Displays error logs (last 20 errors) and error counters. Includes a "Reset paid coins" command.
- Transfer Menu: Facilitates transfer/copy of programs and settings to/from the machine using a USB memory. This includes downloading statistics reports, transferring wash programs, uploading wash program images (165x116 pixels, png-format), uploading chemical images (130x116 pixels, png-format), uploading welcome screen images (800x480 pixels, png-format), and cloning settings/parameters.
Maintenance Features
- General Maintenance: The owner/laundry manager is responsible for periodic maintenance. Lack of maintenance can degrade performance and damage components.
- Time for Maintenance Notification: The display shows a "TIME FOR MAINTENANCE" message, which disappears after about 30 seconds or can be closed manually. The machine can still be used.
- Daily Maintenance:
- Check that the door is locked during a program and cannot be opened until the program is complete. If it can be opened, the machine must be taken out of order.
- Check for door leaks.
- Clean the door, door glass, door gasket, and other external parts. Avoid polishing cleaning agents on painted surfaces.
- Detergent Container: Clean regularly to prevent clogging by detergent residue.
- Deliming: Use a special machine cleaning program or a high-temperature (95°C) program with a deliming agent (e.g., citric acid).
- Drain: Regularly check drain connections and pipes, remove lint and dust, and clean with a small brush. Ensure tight connections after remounting. Qualified service personnel should perform internal drain and hose maintenance annually.
- Water Inlet: Regularly check and clean the filter at the water inlet. Demount the hose, pull out the filter, and ensure tight connections upon remounting.
- Cleaning Mop Elements (for mop machines only): Regularly check and clean mop elements. In the inner drum, remove core covers (using two small screwdrivers) to access heating elements. Press down on the retaining plate in the round hole, then use another screwdriver in the oval hole to push the retaining plate towards the first screwdriver. Remove and clean the elements. Refit core covers in reverse order, pushing the retaining plate back until a clicking sound is heard.
- Annual Maintenance by Qualified Service Personnel:
- Inspect the machine interior for leaks during a wash cycle.
- Clean internal drain and hoses.
- Check door and door hinges.
