Operation
5.1 Door Lock Operation
The lock system uses a ”‘push-to-open / push-to-close”’ style mechanism which differentiates it
from any other door lock in the industry. This design was developed as a result of analyzing the
shortcomings of other door lock mechanisms on the market. It hence has many fundamental safety
and mechanical advantages.
5.1.1 Opening and Closing the Door
SP-110 and smaller
To open the door the machine must not be running a wash program – ”‘Program n.”’ should be
displayed on the EL6 or ”‘ENTER PROG”’ on the FM7. Simply push and release the door handle
with the palm of your hand. As you push the handle in the door lock solenoid will energize and
the pin will retract and release the door. Then as you release the pressure on the handle the door
will be free and you can pull it open. To close the door swing it closed, then push the handle firmly
until you hear the solenoid engage, releasing the door lock pin to lock the door. When you start a
wash program the door lock is securely disabled so that the door cannot be accidentally opened.
SP-130 and larger
To open the door the machine must not be running a wash program – ”‘Program n.”’ should be
displayed on the EL6 or ”‘ENTER PROG”’ on the FM7. Press the door open button which activates
the door lock air cylinder. This will allow the pin to retract and release the door. Now rotate the
door lock bar counter-clockwise and the door can pulled open. To close the door, press the door
open button, swing the door closed, then rotate the door lock bar clockwise fully. Release the door
lock button allowing the door lock pin to lock the door. When you start a wash program the door
lock is securely disabled so that the door cannot be accidentally opened.
