This selection is not valid immediately before an extract step. Refer to the Notice above

This selection is available only when the machine is equipped and configured for this

Explanation
0
Standard drain speed
—Basket turns clockwise at drain (distri-
bution) speed while draining. Standard drain speed varies by ma-
chine model, but is designed to impart about one G of
acceleration to the goods. Basket movement while filling is deter-
mined by the
Type of step
decision and the specific design of the
machine). Standard drain speed is valid for all following step
types and with any configuration of options.
1
Two-way wash speed
—While draining, the basket reverses at
wash speed to provide more mechanical action among the goods.
Do not use this selection if the next step will be an extract. If a
bath is programmed with this option, then an extract is pro-
grammed immediately following the bath step, the controller will
change the drain code from
1=Two-way wash speed
to
0=Stand-
ard drain speed
(see previous notice).
2
Do not drain
—Bath liquor is retained for later operations in this
same bath. Chemicals may be added, and temperature or level
may be raised without draining. Basket movement during the fill
phase of this step is determined by the
Type of step
decision. The
next step begins immediately when the time for this step expires.
This selection is not available if the next step is an extract. As de-
scribed in the previous Notice, if a bath is programmed with this
option, then an extract is programmed immediately following the
bath step, the controller will change the drain code from
2=Do
not drain
to
0=Standard drain speed
.
3
Stop with fill
—The basket is kept stationary during the fill phase
of this step, but rotates at drain speed while draining. This selec-
tion minimizes friction among the goods before they are thor-
oughly wetted. Standard drain speed during the drain phase better
distributes the goods around the basket, and fabric abrasion is less
likely because the goods are thoroughly wet from the just-com-
pleted bath.
4
Stop with drain
—The basket is kept stationary while draining to
prevent abrasion from mechanical action. During the fill phase of
this step, basket motion is controlled by the
Type of step
decision.
This selection is not valid if the next step is an extract. If a bath is
programmed with this option, then an extract is programmed
