Safety Instructions 2
WARNING!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. READ all instructions before using the washer and KEEP them in a prominent location for customer
use.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, and other flammable or explosive substances as they GIVE OFF
VAPOURS that could ignite or explode. These substances GIVE OFF VAPOURS that could ignite or
explode.
3. DO NOT ADD gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used
for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

3.9. Wash cycle start-up from an external device to the washing machine
VERY IMPORTANT
Washing machine cycle start-up should only be started by voluntary activation using an actuating
element designated for this purpose.
For machines connected to a remote control start-up system (e.g. a central vending point, etc.), the
control must be located so as to ensure that the operator may be absolutely certain that no person is
exposed to any dangerous area of the washing machine (pursuant to Machine Directive 98/37/CE,
Annex 1)
It is possible to connect the washer to an external central vending point by means of an adaptation circuit
installed inside the washer. This option allows payments to be made and the prices to be controlled entirely
from the central vending point.
The adaptation circuit allows the PROGRAM START command to be received from the central vending point
and at the same time, a relay contact informs the central vending point of the AVAILABILITY OF THE
WASHER to start a wash cycle.
It must be pointed out that the Start Wash Program command can be overridden by pressing the STOP
button on the washer's keyboard. Refer to the PSH parameter in the Mod menu in the Advanced Coin
Control Instruction Manual on the manufacturer’s Web: www.girbau.com.
Features and wiring for different inputs (see board A8 on electric circuit diagram)
• Alternating current signal: voltage between 115 and 230V. Connection terminals: X1-4 and X1-5.
• Direct current signal: voltage between 5 and 25V. Connection terminals: X1-7 and X1-8.
The minimum duration for these impulses will be 50ms (0.05 seconds).
The electrical features on the central vending point will determine the application of one or another electrical
signal.
