Operation

Cycle Execution (Continued)

Wash

As soon as water level is reached (and any programmed temperature is reached), the displayed time begins counting down at one-second intervals.

The machine will agitate low speed forward, pause, low speed reverse, pause, then repeat this sequence for the programmed time. The table below shows available agitation options.

Description

12 seconds forward,

The cylinder accelerates to distribution speed seven seconds into the drain step. About five seconds later, the drain opens.

Note: The machine should drain in

30 seconds. If the machine fails to drain, contact a qualified service technician.

Spin

Spin steps for all segments except Fill 6 are low-speed spins. These spin steps are called intermediate spins. For cycles 1–14, the spin step for the Fill 6 segment is the final spin and is thus a high-speed spin. For cycles 15 and 16 (gentle cycles), the final spin is always a

*Gentle agitation information must be programmed in cylces 15 and 16.

Note: If the water does not reach the programmed temperature in 30 minutes, the computer will proceed with the cycle. (The time countdown will resume as though temperature had been reached, but the computer will continue heating).

Drain

The drain valve will open after the programmed segment time has elapsed. The cylinder will turn counterclockwise (forward) at wash speed while in the drain step. This counterclockwise direction mirrors the spin rotation and is, therefore, also considered forward.

1 to 10 minutes in length. Any spin step can be skipped by programming 0 for the spin time. However, in order to have a high speed spin in the Fill 6 segment, a nonzero time must be programmed for that segment.

Note: An automatic 25-second coastdown follows all spins. This does not add to the cycle time because the fill for next segment begins during the coastdown.

If the cycle program segment spin time is set to zero, the computer moves to the next segment of the cycle program. If the segment is at the end of a cycle program, the computer goes into the stop routine.
