Preliminary Information About the Control Power Failure Recovery This control is an advanced, programmable computer If a cycle is in progress and the power fails for less that lets the owner control most machine features by than five seconds, the cycle status is saved in memory. pressing a sequence of keypads.
Control Identification Select Cycle Pads The Select Cycle pads are used in various combinations for programming cycles, retrieving audit (Refer to Figure 1) information, running diagnostic tests, and other operations. These instructions cover the manual Select Cycle pads are used to select the specific programming and data retrieval options.
Display Identification Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) Door LED (Refer to Figure 1) Door LED is lit whenever the door is locked. The door can’t be opened when this LED is lit. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used to indicate the chosen cycle, cycle status, when the bleach Bleach LED compartment is dispensing, and door lock information.
