Water supply valve
General characteristics
This electro-magnetic controlled valve regulates the supply of water
to the machine via the water distributor in the detergent distributor.
It 1s actuated by a solenold which is controlled electrically bythe
programmed Controller via the level regulator.
When the valve Is inactive, (without voltage) the spring holds the
splndle down and the rubber cone seals a small hole at the centre
of the membrane. A head of water bullds up which holds the
membrane against Its seating and closes the valve.
When voltage 1s applled to the solenold, the splndle with the rubber
cone is drawn up-ward against the spring and the hole in the
membrane 1s exposed, permitting the passage of water. The
pressure differential 1s lost and water can flow freely through the
valve.

Level regulator
General characteristics
The level regulator momtors the level of the water in the
machlne and
adapts the water level to that required at different stages
ofthe washing sequence selected.
acts äs a low-water safety device äs It is connected in
series with the heating ele-ment. It disconnects the
voltage to the element when the water falls below a
certaln level.
acts äs an anti-foam protection by sending a Signal to
the electromcs which Interrupts the spln phase and
restarts this when the foam has subsided. (VE 60 and
V 60 program med Controllers).
