reached the minimum. When the level is reached, the heater will be enabled.

6.6 EXTRACT LOCK

The extraction, even if enabled, will not start, until the minimum water level has been reached. When the
level is reached, the extraction will be enabled.

6.7 SAFETY LEVELS

The sensor of the minimum water level in the drum does not allow to open the door, until this level has
dropped below the safety threshold.
RENZACCI S.p.A. prohibits the tampering or the modification of the above level sensor.

Page 11
 7 INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION

Before starting the machine make sure that:

- The main switch is in position “1”.
- The hot and cold water inlet cocks and also the steam, if applicable, are open.
Once all inlets have been opened, the washing machine can be loaded with the laundry to be washed making
sure that the machine is not loaded over its capacity (see the table of the technical data).

Then put the soaps in the proper pocket of the machine: for the pre-wash pocket A, for the main wash pocket
B and for liquid additives, if required, in pocket C.

LX 50 / LX 70 LX 16 / LX 22 / LX 35

LX 16 / LX 22 / LX 35 LX 55 / LX 70

ACTIVATION OF POCKET A or
SOLID POWDER SOAP FOR PRE-WASH

ACTIVATION OF POCKET B
SOLID POWDER SOAP FOR MAIN WASH

ACTIVATION OF POCKET C
LIQUID ADDITIVES

The quantity of soap to be used varies according to its type and brand, the level of dirtiness of the items to be
washed and the hardness of the water used. For this reason it is recommended to follow the indications given
by the soap supplier.

After having opened all supply sources of the machine, loaded the items to be washed and put the soap in the
proper pockets, the machine is ready for operation.
The operator can control and check the operation of the LX washing machine by means of the computer
control panel. Two modes are possible:
¾ AUTOMATIC
¾ MANUAL
When turning the main switch to position “1”, the machine is alive, the computer display shows as the first
page (stand-by) a page in which can be selected the operation mode: AUTOMATIC or MANUAL. All
information relating to the use of the computer and hence the setting modes of the instructions for manual or
automatic operation are described in the chapter 7.

Page 12
 8 OPTIONS

8.1 SOAP DOSING PUMPS

The soap dosing pumps makes it possible to use the exact quantity of additives. Upon request the pumps can
be from 1 to 4.

The operation of the pumps 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be directly controlled by the computer by the keys #13, #9, #10,
#11 and #12.

SOAP DOSING PUMP 1 +

SOAP DOSING PUMP 2 +

SOAP DOSING PUMP 3 +

SOAP DOSING PUMP 4

The nominal capacity of each pump is 1.46 l/min. (88 l/hour). This value is the result of experiments carried
out by using water as the liquid to work with.
The capacity is reduced according to the increase of the viscosity. Therefore, when using soaps the actual
capacity will be lower than the nominal value, which will vary according to the type of soap used. The
customer is advised to carry out some tests with the soap he uses in order to measure the time necessary to
pump the quantity required and then to insert in the automatic wash programmes the time necessary to
activate the pump.

IMPORTANT! The soap dosing pumps, as said above, work with time. When a wash programme is set out
and the soap dosing pumps have to be used, the soap-dosing pump must not be inserted in the programme
step relating to the filling of water, otherwise the pumps remain activated the whole time of the level pause!
It is recommended to make steps on purpose with the activation of the pumps for the time necessary for the
introduction of the quantity of additives required, to be inserted before or after the step with the level pause.

If it is necessary to activate more than one pump for different times, it will be recommendable to insert a step
for each pump, in which can be inserted the time required.

Page 13
 8.2 LITRE METER
The litre meter makes it possible to dose the exact quantity of water for washing, thus allowing washing any
quantity of laundry, full or partial load, always meeting the right proportions of water and additives.
The litre counter can be programmed directly by means of the computer of the machine, both in automatic
and in manual (see paragraphs 9.6 e 9.17). The wash cycle can be started now, either manual or automatic. It
will be sufficient to enable the cold water inlet and automatically the litre counter will interrupt the water
inlet, as soon as the necessary quantity has been loaded. While the water is entering the drum, the display
will show the quantity being loaded.

 9.3 START-UP AND SELF-TEST
At start-up, the display lights up and lists the loaded software version. The computer will perform an internal
test cycle and the buzzer will sound for a short time. All the LEDs turn on. This phase lasts for several
seconds and then the machine is operative.

9.4 ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY CONTRAST

The contrast can be adjusted only in standby (►par. 9.1), by repeatedly pressing the following keys:

• key 1 to increase the contract (each time you press key #1 the display will get darker).

• key 2 to diminish the contrast (at each time you press key #2 the display will get brighter).

9.5 MANAGING HOT AND COLD WATER IN AUTOMATIC

The computer permits innovative management of the process for mixing hot and cold water, optimising the
consumption of hot water based on the selected wash temperature.
Simply set the input for hot and cold water and then select the amount of water to be let in, choosing the
option “Low level” or “High level” through the computer.
Depending on the temperature that has been sent, the computer will call in cold or hot water in alternation,
checking with the frequency that can be set on the computer to verify if the water inside the drum is over or
under the set quantity.
Mixing continues until the preset level has been reached. At this point, if necessary it is possible to enable
heating in order to finish heating the water in the drum.

NOTE: To disable the mixing of and at the same time open the hot and cold water inlets, it will be necessary
to set at zero the times “COLD WATER” and “WARM WATER” of MENU SET (see paragraph 9.18.2). It
is recommended to disable the mixing for those operators which have only cold water. By doing so the
quantity of water entering the drum can be increased and consequently the time necessary to reach the level
as set will be remarkably reduced.

The amount of water that is added can also be monitored using the exclusive “LITRE
METER”, which is optional for machines designed for “WET CLEANING”. In this case, the
desired quantity can be preset on the computer display and the addition of cold water can be
enabled.

• If outputs 3 and 4 are activated when there is liquid in the drum (high and low level inputs), the
output will turn off automatically and the "DRUM STILL OPEN" message will come up on the
display.
• If outputs 3 and 4 are activated before the drum output (relay 8), the output will turn off
automatically and the "DRAIN STILL CLOSED" message will come up on the display.
• If output 7 is activated when there is no liquid in the drum (level inputs open), the output will turn
off automatically and the "HEATING NO LOAD" message will come up on the display.

Pause messages
During the pauses, the display will alternate the following messages:
• "PAUSE / HIGH LEVEL"
• "PAUSE / LOW LEVEL"
• "PAUSE / LITRE METER"
• "PAUSE / HEATING"
• "PAUSE / COOLDOWN +"
• "PAUSE / COOLDOWN –"

9.10 BLACKOUT
If there is a power outage during an automatic wash cycle, the machine will be in the blackout alarm mode
when it turns again and the START and STOP will flash. Press START to start up the programme from the
beginning of the step during which the blackout occurred Press STOP to return to STANDBY.

Page 24
 9.11 HEATER

In order to turn on the heater (button 7) the drum must be full at least to the low level. Otherwise, the
output is not enabled and the "HEATING NO LOAD" message appears.
The heater is regulated by the thermostat:

MANUAL 01:50
40°C HIGH LEVEL

thermostat setting

During operation, the temperature measured by the probe is displayed, while in EDIT or programming the
thermostat cut-in point is shown.
As soon as the heater turns on, the heating pause starts automatically. The pause ends as soon as the set
temperature has been reached, or at most within a maximum time that can be set through MENU SET. At the
end of the pause, the thermostat maintains the temperature as long as button 7 is active.
• When executing the level together with heating, first the level is performed, followed by heating.

Note: timing stops during the pause. In calculating programme duration, the heating time is not counted.

9.12 LEVELS
Performing the level means sending liquid into the drum. You can choose from low level, high level and
level selected using the litre meter.
To pause the level you must:
• Programme the step (or turn on in manual mode) for at least one of the waters (hot, cold or soft)
• On the display, set the type of level: low, high, in litres.

MANUAL 01:50
40°C HIGH LEVEL

set turn on at least one

In manual mode, the pause starts automatically: simply select and activate the water buttons.
In automatic mode, the pause starts with the step. At the end of the level pause, the computer shuts off the
water and the detergent pump. Then it continues with the time set in the step.
The level cannot be performed during the same step as the cool down.
During the next steps, you can add more water or detergent without modifying the acquired level.

• The level will not start if the drum output is on.

• From MENU SET, you can set the maximum pause times for the low level and the high level after
which the computer will go into alarm mode.

Note: timing stops during the pause. In calculating programme duration, the pause time is not counted.

Page 25
 9.13 HOT WATER + COLD WATER
When both hot and cold (or soft) water are programmed in the same step, this activates automatic adjustment
of the temperature of the water being let in.

MANUAL 01:50
40°C HIGH LEVEL

set

After a time that can be adjusted from the menu (independent for hot and cold water), the computer measures
the temperature that has been reached. If the temperature is lower than what has been set, the flow of cold
water is stopped and hot water is added for the time set using MENU SET. The reverse procedure will take
place if the temperature is higher than the set temperature.
The cycle is repeated until the end of the step, manual shutdown of the operations or when the set level has
been reached.

9.14 COOLDOWN
Cool down adds cold water but avoids fraying the load with a thermal shock. The computer combines speed
with delicacy by constantly measuring the water temperature. If the cooling is too fast, the computer will
modulate the incoming flow.

01/03 time 05:37

20°C COOLDOWN-

• During cool down, the computer goes into pause mode. The maximum duration of the pause (beyond
which the computer goes into alarm mode) is set using the menu.
• Cool down initially empties the drum to the low level (outputs 5 and 6 disabled, output 8 on).
• Subsequently, the computer disables output 8 and allows the water in to reach the high level.
Measuring the temperature constantly, the computer decides if it should continue to add water or if it
should pause to avoid overly fast cooling.
• When it reaches the high level, if the temperature is higher than the temperature set in the step, the
cycle is repeated from the beginning.
• At the end of cool down, outputs 5 and 6 are off, while output 8 stays on until the end of the step
time.

Cool down is adjusted on two different levels: COOLDOWN+ and COOLDOWN-. With COOLDOWN+
can be associated, from MENU SET, a value of the temperature difference (temperature variation in one
minute) variable from 0 to 20 and for COOLDOWN- from 0 to 10. Therefore, if a more powerful cooling
over the 10°C/min. is required, the COOLDOWN+ has to be used. The calculation of the temperature
difference is carried out every 15 seconds.

Page 26
 9.15 LOADING DOOR WITH AUTOMATIC DELAY
When possible, the computer accelerates the opening of the loading door by inserting the delay specified in
MENU SET only when necessary.
• The delay intervenes only if the motor is started up.
• If the motor does not start, the delay is not inserted.

- Copy the programmes, sub-programmes and the menu set from the computer to the black memory
card or the other way round (COPY TO CARD or COPY FROM CARD).
If you want to COPY FROM CARD, COPY TO CARD and RESET CARD it will be necessary to insert the
memory card in the proper slot in the computer (see below).

In order to insert the memory card it will be necessary to follow the instructions below:
- Switch off the power to the machine by putting the main switch on “O”. This not only safeguards the
operator’s safety, but also avoids the loss of data stored in the computer memory.
- Disassemble the cover panel of the machine’s electric board.
- Inset the key in the proper slot marked by the writing “MEMORY CARD”.
- Replace the cover panel to its seat.
- Switch on the machine again by putting the main switch on “I”.
- Carry out all operations required COPY FROM CARD, COPY TO CARD or RESET CARD.
- Switch off the power to the machine, remove the memory card and assemble the upper panel of the
housing again.

9.19 SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH THE GREEN CARD MEMORY CARD

The machine is shipped with last version of the software of the computer.
If after some working years the software installed on the computer must be updated for some reason, we can
supply a green memory card available on request and on payment.

With the machine turned off, insert the appropriate GREEN memory card. Turn on the electrical power and
wait for the new software version to appear (about 30 seconds).
Do not leave the memory card inserted or the programming will be repeated each time the machine is turned
on, wearing out the memory.

Important: check the first four digits of the checksum/keylock for confirmation that the programming has
been performed normally. The checksum automatically appears when the system is turned on, just under the
message R16 and the software version:
software version
R16 1.08
checksum/keylock DF3A-000-000

 10 MAINTENANCE
To maintain during time the functionality and washing efficiency of the LX washing machine,
it is necessary that every 6 months a skilled technician carry out the maintenance operations
described in this paragraph.
Before starting whatever maintenance operation on the machine, take off the power of the
machine putting the main switch on “O” position and take off all the sources of the machine.

1) Verify and regulate the driving belt. Disassemble the rear panel, verify the tension of the
driving belts and if it is necessary, regulate the tension adjusting the position of the motor plate (see
below figure) till the belts are well under tension.

2) Cleaning of the machine’s inlet water filters (LX16 / LX 22 / LX 35). Close the water and
steam inlet gate valves. Unscrew the inlet piping and extract the filtering elements with a pair or
pliers (see figure below). To remove eventual dirt, clean the filters with compressed air or with a
strong water flow. Re-insert the filtering elements in their place and re-connect the inlet piping.

3) Bearings greasing. Remove the rear protection panel of the machine. If in proximity of the drum
shaft support there is a lubricating leak, grease the bearings using a grease gun that must be connect
to the greasing nipple (see below figure).

THE DRUM DOES NOT ROTATE OR DOES NOT EXTRACT

1) THE INTERNAL MOTOR OVERLOAD RELAY OF THE MAIN MOTOR INVERTER CUTS OUT
a) Wait for it to cool down.
b) Check the incoming wires of the inverter and the motor. Tighten them, if necessary.
c) Check the motor condition. Repair or replace it, if necessary.
2) MOTOR BURNT
a) If the motor is burnt, replace it or rewind it.
3) MOTOR OVERLOAD
a) Wait for it to cool down.
4) VERIFY THAT THE BELTS ARE TIGHT
a) Adjust or replace the belts, if necessary. Replace all belts at the same time.
5) CHECK THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMES FOR THIS OPERATION
Verify that in the computer programme a wash or extraction phase is provided.
6 EVERYTHING IS OK, BUT THE MACHINE DOES NOT EXTRACT
a) Make sure that the computer cycle provided for the drainage before the machines goes to the extract phase.
b) Make sure that the level sensor works properly.

NOISE DURING THE EXTRACTION

1) MAIN MOTOR BEARINGS WORN OUT
a) Replace the bearings.
