READING THE CYCLE CHARTS
Sample Cycle Chart
Movement
•Speed (rpm) - Revolutions per minute of basket spin.
•Reversing - In this example the basket will rotate counterclockwise for 1.5 seconds, stop for 30.5 seconds, then rotate clockwise for 1.5 seconds, stop for 30.5 seconds and then repeat the sequence throughout the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
•Spin Cycle - The spin cycle is described in the charts on pages
Level
•The pressure switch can detect three levels of water in the tub. L1 indicates the operating water level. In this example the water level allowed through out the cycle is level 2. In other cycles the water level can vary from L1 to L3. The pressure switch will fill to the L1 level, then the flowmeter will allow an additional 50% for L2 and an additional 150%, (from L1), to the L3 level.
Dispenser Box
•This line describes which portion of the dispenser box will be used during the cycle. In this example only the Main Wash (mw) and Fabric Softener (soft) are used. Other portions of the dispenser box are; Prewash (pw) and Bleach (bleach).
Temp
•Fill - The water temperature is variable based on consumer input and what is allowable by the cycle.
•Heating - This depends on whether the unit is equipped with a heating element and whether the cycle calls for heating. In this example the heater is not used
Time
•This line describes the length of time each portion of the cycle will take. The time for each fill portion is based on input from the pressure switch.
Door
•The door is locked throughout the cycle except for the Child Security Routine. 6 - 12
