POWER LOSS/FAILURE

Power-up after a power-loss during a main wash cycle. The machine cycle will re- sume at the appropriate cycle step after the Start/Pause key has been pressed. The control recovers the saved information on power-up after a power loss. The recov- ery will be to the appropriate step in the cycle and within 3 minutes of the cycle step where the power loss occurred. The LCD display will be reset to the appropri- ate time left after the Start/Pause key has been pressed and not indicate a power failure at that point. The main wash cycle will resume immediately after the Start/ Pause key has been pressed.

When a power loss occurs during the final spin of a main wash cycle, the cycle will end, on the MAH5500B. The MAH7500A will finish the spin cycle.

Power-up after a power-loss during service mode, continuous mode, or advertising mode will cancel these modes.

These modes will not resume after the power-up until the user selections are pressed again.

If a power outage occurs during a cycle the washer will come back up in the paused state. When paused (either by a power outage or by the user), the washer will remember where it was. The machine will not automatically time-out and cancel a cycle while paused. The display will re- main on for 10 minutes after it is paused with no activity. After 10 minutes of no activity, the display will turn off, but the machine will remember where it was and the display will be turned back on with any user activity.
