Programming
Programming the FM7 takes place on three
levels:
1. Programming agitation (Function 45)
Allows 15 different agitation profiles to be
created. For each profile, the clockwise rotation
time, the counterclockwise rotation time and
the pause time can be programmed. (Factory
defaults are shown on page 9).
2. Programming cycles (Function 12)
Each grouping of steps creates a sequence of
events in which various functions can be
activated or deactivated (drain, cold fill, spin,
etc.). Going from one step to another requires
reaching a water level, temperature, or a time
value. There are five different programmable
cycle types: Prewash, Wash, Rinse, Spin and
Unroll (Shakeout). Each cycle can be assigned
a number between 1 and 99. (See the FM7
Stock Programs Listing for details on factory
settings).
3. Wash Programs Creation (Function 27)
Consists of putting the various cycles as
programmed above together to form a
complete wash program. Up to 30 programs
can be stored, each with 15 cycles. (See the
FM7 Stock Programs Listing for details on
factory settings).

A Note about Programming the FM7:
The FM7 comes from the factory with several
stock programs already entered. See the
separate document, FM7 Stock Program List
for details. It is by far easier to modify these
existing cycles and programs than to start from
nothing and create your own.
Note that Programs are made up of cycles, and
cycles are made up of steps. The wash
programs are simply a series of cycles
performed in order by the control. The cycles,
contain the steps in which wash functions are
executed - things like fill the machine to a
certain level, dose chemicals, agitate the load,
etc. If you wish to modify a water level, you
will need to determine the appropriate cycle to
modify, and the step within that cycle. The
FM7 Stock Program List will help you
determine which cycle to edit.
