Chapter 3. Operating
PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION
3.3.2.
Attendant Operation (Attendant Key Required)
Two situations call for this method of operation: recurring attendant operation as when customers
drop off laundry for later pickup, and restarting a terminated wash cycle without requiring
additional coins.
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
user 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 user 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 for the first time, or when the wash
cycle resumes after the door is opened and subsequently closed.
3.
Select desired wash cycle.
Press the
Select
button to scroll through the available wash cycles shown on the machine
control panel. Each time the attendant presses the
Select
button, the number in the
Select
Wash Cycle
window of the control panel increases and the value in the
Minutes Remaining
window changes to display the duration of the selected cycle.
Notice 25 :
Always select the desired wash cycle before turning the
Attendant
switch to
the horizontal position. When the
Attendant
switch is in the horizontal position, the
Select
button scrolls from the selected program to the various testing modes described in Section
4.2. “Controller Inputs and Outputs”. To exit the testing modes, turn the
Attendant
switch to
the vertical position.
4.
Set the
Attendant
switch to the
Attendant
(horizontal) position.
Insert the attendant key and turn the switch clockwise one quarter turn to access
Attendant
mode. The
coin count
window displays “St” to prompt the attendant to press the
Start
button.
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 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)”.
During operation, the right decimal in the
Minutes Remaining
window flashes when the timer
is counting. The decimal is dark when the timer is not counting, as while the machine is
filling with water for the first time in any bath step.

Start
button to begin the wash cycle.
