On starting the machine, the door will automatic-
ally be locked, the drain valve closed, the hot and
cold water valves opened and the two pre-wash-
es will be carried out as previously described,
whereafter the main wash is started.
As the main wash is started, the drain valve
closes, detergent is admitted and hot is filled to
the level determined by the level control.
On reaching this level, the water valve is closed
and the wash motor starts its reversing rotation.
The water level controlled machine will now wash
the fabrics for eight minutes. The machine is then
emptied.
Hot and cold water are filled for the first rinse
which lasts one minute, followed by extraction for
30 seconds.
Fabric softener is automatically admitted during
the third rinse. The fabrics are rinsed with cold
water for two minutes followed by a extraction of
four minutes duration.
OPTION BUTTONS:
EXTRA EXTRACT -- Selecting this option adds
1.5 minutes to the final extraction Hot, Warm and
Cold and 1 min on Delicate and Perm Press
program. For example, the HOT cycle plus
EXTRA EXTRACT gives the customer a total of
5.5 minutes extraction. You can easily program
the washer to charge more money (usually one
more quarter) if this option is selected! The effect
of extra extraction depends on the type of
laundry washed, load size, etc.
GENTLE WASH -- The normal wash action of a
Wascomat washer is 18 seconds rotation, 6
seconds pause, reverse direction and repeat.
Selecting the GENTLE WASH option converts
the selected wash cycle to gentle action, which is
6 seconds drum rotation and 18 seconds pause,
reverse direction and repeat. The DELICATE
cycle always uses gentle action so it is not
affected by this option. There is no extra charge
to the customer for this option, so it is simply up
to them to choose their preference. You may
want to advertise and promote this option since
market research indicates there are people who
believe certain clothing items are too delicate to
wash in a commercial washer. Now you have the
answer!
