3.2 “Talkie” Version Some EDW2500 dishwasher models features also the “Talkie” functionality. These models are configured so that they can communicate in different languages according to the brand/market. The “Talkie” version of the EDW2500 features a speaker contained in a plastic box (figg. A and B), hooked to the tie and screwed to the hinge, positioned on the left front side of the inner door (fig.

3.3 Controls 3.3.1 Turning the appliance on and off (S0) The ON/OFF button with corresponding LED L0 is installed on all models. The S0 button is used to turn the unit on and off. Turning off the unit with the S0 button does not cancel the programme in progress. Important! If the unit is plugged in, mains voltage is present on all circuit boards even when the ON/OFF button is not pressed (when appliance is shut off).
Detection of load The quantity of dishes loaded (full or 1/2 load) temperature is detected during the first heating phase in the 1/2 load washing cycle by measuring the speed of water temperature increase (NTC sensor, connector H8). threshold Full load: when the slope of the curve is less than the programmed standard threshold full load Half load when the slope of the curve is...
4. Press the “OK/START” button to confirm the choice and start the cycle 5. At this point, the LCD will display advisories, for example, such as no salt and/or no rinse-aid in the machine (on free-standing models, text will appear against a red background) Correct the problems displayed NB: If the 3-in-1 detergent option has been chosen, the no rinse-aid advisory is disabled 6.
4.3 Options Every dishwasher with the EDW2500 control system is equipped with an “Options” button: 1. When Options button is pressed repeatedly, all available options are displayed in sequence All available options are displayed on the LCD in sequence The LCD shows the current setting for the option displayed 2.
4.3.7 Buzzer volume: When this option is set, it remains set until the setting is changed. The option is used to vary the volume of the buzzer and of the vocal messages from 0 to 5. The “buzzer disabled” icon appears on the display when the setting is “0”.
4.4 Sequence of operations 1. Close the door and press button S0 to turn the appliance on: LED L0 lights up The LCD display lights up with a welcome message and then flashes the last programme run 2. Select delayed start if desired (see 4.3.10) and/or any desired options 3.

7. To cancel a programme in progress: Press the “Cancel” button The display will show “Interrupt?” Press the “OK/START” button to confirm cancellation 8. At the end of the programme: The buzzer sounds a number of times The display shows END OF CYCLE and SWITCH OFF 9.
5 BUILD CHARACTERISTICS 5.1 Structure The appliance can be subdivided into four main assemblies: - BASE AREA – DOOR AREA – TUB AREA – WATER UNIT The machine is housed in an assembly of individual removable parts composed of a front panel at the bottom and two side panels.
6 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS 6.1 EDW2500 electronic control system The EDW2500 electronic control system consists of: • On free-standing models, figure A: the system is composed of a main (input) board (fig. C, on the left, which includes the ON/OFF button) and an display (output) board (fig. D, on the right) equipped with an LCD, •...
6.1.1 Functions performed by the mother board INPUT AND OUTPUT BOARDS LEDs Buttons Display μP ELECTRIC SENSORS LOADS (Buzzer) MAIN BOARD Acquires cycle programming and commands through the input and output boards. Powers all the electrical components (solenoids, wash pump, detergent/rinse-aid dispenser, drain pump, heating element, fan motor) Controls the temperature of the wash water using a signal from an NTC sensor, and controls the speed of the wash pump using a signal from a tachometric generator.

The water level in the sump is controlled by pressure switch (RL). The circuit board constantly monitors the status of the pressure switch through the “sensing” line connected to connector E1: “EMPTY” if contacts 1-2 are closed “FULL” if contacts 1-3 are closed 7.1.3 Anti-flooding device When the anti-flooding device is tripped, contacts (DA) on the relative microswitch open and cut off...
7.3 Water filling time The maximum time that the fill solenoid stays open is subdivided over the various sub-phases in the fill cycle. 7.3.1 Static filling time S.T. = max 90 seconds: this is the maximum time allowed for the pressure switch to switch to FULL.
7.5 Level control during washing When the fill phase is complete, the appliance shifts to the washing phase. During this phase, which is executed with cold or heated water, the status of the pressure switch is monitored constantly to ensure that the water system is operating efficiently, and the water level is topped up if necessary.
Built-in detergent dispenser This dispenser consists of a plastic container divided into two separate compartments which contain detergent (A) and rinse-aid (B). It is engaged by a single coil connected to a mechanical system that actuates both functions. When the coil is activated, it moves a set of levers that engage the mechanism, which first delivers the detergent and then delivers the rinse-aid.
7.9 Regeneration system Regeneration of the water softening system, which takes around 4 min, is usually performed at the start of the drying phase. Every time regeneration is performed (with activation of regeneration solenoid 4), the accumulation chamber is completely emptied of its contents (about 230 cc of water).
7.11.1 “Blending” function This function is performed inside the fill tank during the water fill phase. Depending on the position of the selector, softened water is automatically blended with the unsoftened water present in the appliance. The softened water is introduced from the softening system into the sump, while the unsoftened water flows (through the open by-pass valve) directly into the tank through the steam venting ring.
9 SERVICE A single procedure is used to access the diagnostic mode, also known as the Service mode. Once this mode is accessed, the serviceman can: • read / cancel alarms • check the various components in the appliance for proper operation •...
9.2 Displaying alarms and activating individual components 1. Access the diagnostic mode (see 9.1) 2. Press button Ok/Start to begin displaying alarms: The display shows the last alarm that has occurred (to decode the alarm, see the table of alarms). 3.
9.2.1 Table of alarm codes When an abnormal situation occurs that may interfere with machine functioning, the main board activates a safety system which in most cases interrupts the washing cycle. The last three alarm situations are stored in memory. Using a special procedure, service personnel can display all the alarms stored in memory. The user is only shown four of the alarms.

9.3 Cancelling alarms from memory Every alarm should be cancelled after it has been read and after the appliance has been repaired. When the next diagnostic test is run, this will enable the serviceman to know whether the alarm has occurred again.
9.6 Enabling / disabling an extra rinse The following procedure can be used to include a supplementary rinse in all wash programmes, which improves rinsing action. To add an extra rinse: 1. Access the diagnostic mode (see 9.1) 2. Press button Options repeatedly until the following message appears on the display: EXTRA RINSE NO (when NO flashes, the extra rinse is disabled) 3.

11.5 Checking components for proper operation To make it easier to check components, a TEST PROCEDURE has been developed which indicates the points where tester probes should be applied and the correct theoretical value for each component. Access the electronic board positioned on the basement and detach all the connectors. Connect the probes of the tester to the appropriate points.
12 “DEMO” mode To demonstrate the operation of the machine, a function has been provided which executes an accelerated simulated washing cycle that includes all phases in the cycle and is realistically displayed on the LCD. This operating mode is called DEMO. During the demonstration of the washing cycle, the machine does not fill with water from the water system in the building (so demonstrations can be carried out in the dealer’s showroom);...
