Chapter 3. Operating
PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION
3.3.1.
Normal Operation (Coins Required)
1.
Open door and load machine.
Load the machine at or near its rated capacity, as described in Section 3.2. “Determining
Load Size”. Processing small loads in any washer-extractor increases the possibility of
excessive vibration.
2.
Close door.
Securely close the loading door. Safety features on this machine are designed to notify the
customer if the door is open. If this machine is in proper working order with all safety devices
in place, it will not operate unless the door is completely closed. To prevent the customer
from accidentally opening the door while the machine is operating, the door latch is locked in
the closed position 60 seconds after the wash cycle starts.
Notice 23 :
The door latch lock delay timer locks the door latch 60 seconds after the wash
cycle starts. This timer resets to the full 60 seconds each time the door is opened and
subsequently closed.

Explanation
3.
Select desired wash cycle.
Press the
Select
button repeatedly to scroll through the seven available wash
cycles shown on the machine control panel. Each time the customer presses
the
Select
button, the number in the
Select Wash Cycle
window increases by
one count and the values in the
Minutes Remaining
and
coin count
windows
change to reflect the duration of the selected cycle and the number of coins
required.
4.
Deposit the required number of coins.
For any wash cycle displayed in the
Select Wash Cycle
window, the
coin count
window
displays the number of coins required to run the cycle. The value in the
coin count
window
decreases as each dropped coin is accepted and counted by the machine controller. The coin
count is satisfied when the value in the
coin count
window is “00”.
5.
Add supplies.
Add the desired amount of detergent through the supply chute on the upper part of the
machine cylinder, then close the supply chute door. When the
Machine Status
window
displays “2” or when the machine has filled to level with water, add the proper amount of
bleach. Similarly, add fabric softener when the
Machine Status
window displays “6” (at the
beginning of the last rinse step). Liquid chemicals will be injected automatically at the correct
times in facilities equipped with liquid chemical supply systems. For machines equipped with
an optional three-compartment supply injector, refer to Supplement 2 “The Three-
Compartment Supply Injector (Optional)”.
Supplement 2
The Three-Compartment Supply Injector (Optional)
Some C_E model washer-extractors are equipped with an optional three-compartment supply
injector designed to flush pre-measured quantities of powdered chemicals (usually detergent,
bleach, and softener) into the machine at the appropriate times.
