Before machine is placed in operation, the door
safety interlock must be checked for proper
operation as follows:
A. When the washer is energized
electrically and in operation, the
loading door must be locked in
the closed position. Verify this by
attempting to open the loading
door when the machine is
operating. If necessary, check the
door safety interlock and sensors
for proper operation. Consult
the service manual, or call a
qualified service technician if
necessary.
B. When the washers loading door
is open, it should not be possible
to start the machine. Verify this
by attempting to start the washer
with the door open. Also, close
the door without locking it
and verify that it is not possible to
start the machine with the door
not locked. If necessary, check
the door lock sensors for proper
operation,. Consult the service
manual, or call a qualified
service technician. If additional
information is required, contact
your local distributor or call the
manufacturer of the machine.

Programming
Programming the EL-6 takes place on three
levels:
1. Programming motors (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 EL6
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
EL6 Stock Programs Listing for details on
factory settings).

Cycle Programming
Cycle libraries can be created for later use in
the Wash programming step. When the
machine is stopped, press the START and
RESET buttons together. The display is:
n?
Using the keypad, type 12 and press ENTER.
For two seconds, the display shows:
* EDIT CYCLES *
The message for choosing the programming
cycle is then displayed:
PREWASH = ?
Pressing INC or DEC will show the other cycle
types in succession:
WASH = ?
SPIN = ?
RINSE = ?
UNROLL = ?
When the cycle type you wish to edit is
displayed, press ENTER to begin creating or
editing of the cycle. As an example, we will go
through programming a Prewash cycle.
PREWASH = ?
Using the numerical keypad, enter the cycle
you wish to create or modify. After you have
entered the number and pressed ENTER, there
are two possible cases:
>The cycle chosen does not exist and has
to be programmed. (This Page)
>The cycle chosen does exist. If this is
the case, you can view and modify the
cycle as needed. (See page 17, and
charts beginning on page 11).
New Cycle Creation
If the cycle you chose does not exist, you will
be taken directly into the programming mode.
For two seconds, the display will show:
START STEP 1
The display then changes to:
COOL DOWN? NO
You can now define for step 1 whether the cool
down feature is activated. If you wish to
activate cooldown, press ENTER, and the
display changes to:
COOL DOWN? YES
To implement the cooldown phase, five
additional parameters must be entered. These
are discussed in the next section. If you do not
wish to activate the cooldown phase, press INC.
The display will show:
BAL LOAD? YES
You can now define for step 1 whether the load
balancing is enabled. Load balancing is
essentially a modulated fill. A target
temperature can be programmed and the
machine will use a combination of the hot
water fill valve and the cold water fill valve to
maintain a given temperature. If you wish to
activate temperature controlled fill, press
ENTER. The display will change to:
BAL LOAD? NO
To implement temperature controlled fill, four
additional parameters must be entered. These
are discussed in the next section. If you do not
wish to activate temperature controlled fill,
press INC. The display will show:
DRAIN? NO

15
Programming
Cycle Programming continued
To activate the Drain and end Step 1, press
ENTER. Pressing INC or DEC will scroll
through the other functions to end the step.
The step can end with a Water Level, a Water
Temperature, or an elapsed Time. Select one
of the functions by pressing ENTER changes
the display and prompts you to enter a value
for the particular function.
Example
LEVEL NO
LEVEL = cm
ENTER
Type the required value in using the numerical
keypad and press ENTER.
In the event that you choose a level or a
temperature to end the step, you will be
prompted with:
WDT = NO
This is the Watch Dog Timer. Press ENTER to
set the value.
WDT = m
Set the time in minutes, press ENTER
WDT = s
Set the time in seconds, press ENTER. This is a
time limit in which the temperature or water
level you have programmed should be reached.
If the level or temperature cannot be reached in
the given amount of time, the control will
display an alarm. Press ENTER to continue
after an alarm. Be sure to enter a time that is
reasonably longer than the presumed time for
filling or heating. 9:00 (nine minutes, zero
seconds) is good for a fill, 30:00 (thirty minutes,
zero seconds) is good for a heat step.
The display now shows:
STORE?
Pressing STOP will cancel the programming
and abort any parameters you have entered.
To save, press ENTER. Now the start of a new
step will be indicated. For two seconds the
display shows:
START STEP 2
At this point, you may continue adding steps to
the cycle using the same programming
sequence as used for Step 1. If programming is
complete, press STOP. The display now shows:
The display then changes to:
COOLING? NO
PREWASH = ?
You may now program another Prewash cycle,
or select one of the other cycle types and
continue programming. To exit from cycle
programming, press RESET.
Cooldown Phase
The cooldown phase allows you to specify a
temperature to reach before draining the
machine. There are five parameters to be
programmed: Minimum Level, Maximum
Level, Temperature, WDT, and Motor. The
cooldown phase operates as follows:
>The water is drained to the minimum
level as mentioned above.
>Cold water is then added up to the
maximum level as mentioned above,
and the temperature is monitored.
>Draining and filling continue until either
the temperature is reached, or the WTD
(watch dog timer) has expired.
The motor profile chosen is active throughout
this step.

Programming
Cycle Programming continued
Load Balancing /
Temperature Controlled Fill
The Load Balancing option is essentially a
temperature controlled, or modulated, fill. Cold
and Hot water are added to the machine while
the temperature and level are monitored. Four
parameters must be entered: Level,
Temperature, WDT, and Motor. The option
functions as follows:
Cold or Hot water is added to the machine
depending upon the temperature set (Hot if the
water temperature is lower than programmed,
or Cold if it is higher) until the programmed
water level is reached. Then the next step of
the cycle can begin. During this phase, the
WDT (watch dog timer) is active, which will flag
a fault if the fill time is longer than the
programmed WDT. The chosen motor routine
is active for this entire process.
Heating
Throughout the programming of the steps,
when heating is inserted, this tells the control to
regulate the temperature. In a step that ends
with a required temperature, the heating value
must be greater than or equal to the step
ending temperature. For example, if 50
degrees was set for heating, but 70 degrees was
required to end the step, the machine could
never reach 70 degrees, causing a fault from
the Watch Dog Timer. In cases where the step
is ended by time or level, the temperature can
be selected from 30 to 93 degrees C. See
Appendix A for details on building a Prewash,
Wash, or Rise cycle that uses heating.
RPM =
Enter the desired value and press ENTER to
confirm. In Prewash, Wash, Rinse, and Unroll,
the maximum speed is 100 RPM. Use
Programming Code 207 to set maximum Spin
RPM.
Programming Sequence
For Prewash, Wash, Rinse and Unroll, the
programming sequence is as follows:
>Cooling
>Load Balanced (Temp Controlled Fill)
>Drain
>Cold Water
>Hot Water
>Heating
>Detergent 1
>Detergent 2
>Detergent 3
>Detergent 4

End Step
Step
The figure at the right shows a typical fill
bath.
Step 1 - Fill to a water level with hot
water. Watchdog timer of 9:00 allows
time to fill before an alarm is generated.
Step 1 ends when the water level is
reached.
Step 2 - Chemical 2 output is on, Relay
12 (injection flush) is on (not required
for machines with plastic vacuum
breaker). Step 3 ends when a time of
1:00 elapses.
Step 3 - Top off step, same as step 1,
except for a shorter Watch Dog Time.
Step 4 - This is the wash step. No
relays/outputs are on. Step 4 and the
entire cycle are complete when a time of
7:00 elapses.
A note about the Watch Dog Timer:
The Watch Dog Timer makes sure that
the machine reaches level or
temperature in a timely fashion, and
ensures that the water or heat doesn’t
stay on until someone notices a
problem. Don’t be confused - Step 1 will
end when the programmed water level is
reached, NOT when 9 minutes has
elapsed.

Programming
Wash Program Creation
When the machine is stopped, press the START
and RESET buttons together. The display is:
n?
Using the keypad, type 27 and press ENTER.
For two seconds, the display shows:
EDIT PROG. No.
At this prompt, type the program number you
wish to create or edit, followed by the ENTER
key. Again, two situations are possible:
>The Program does not exist and must be
created.
>The Program already exists and can be
viewed and modified.
Creating a new Wash Program
The display reads
NOT FOUND!
for two seconds, then:
C1>?
At this prompt, press ENTER. The display
changes to:
C1>PREWASH = ?
Using the INC or DEC key, you can select the
type of cycle to insert: Prewash, Wash, Spin,
Rinse, and Unroll. For example, if you wish to
insert a wash cycle you have named 3, press
INC until the display changes to:
C1>WASH = ?
Confirm the selection by pressing ENTER. The
display changes to:
C1>WASH = No.
Type 3 on the keypad, the press ENTER. Wash
3 is now stored as the first segment of the
program. The display will prompt you to enter
a second cycle:
C2>?
At this prompt, press ENTER. The choice of
cycle will be displayed as previously. Programs
can be compiled with up to 15 cycles chosen
from those in available in the cycles library (see
the EL6 Stock Programs Listing). The same
cycle can be used repeatedly in a wash
program. After you are through programming,
and have confirmed the last cycle, press STOP
to terminate programming. The display then
shows:
STORE?
Press ENTER to store the program. Press
RESET to cancel and return to the beginning If
while programming, you enter a wash cycle
that does not exist, the following message will
appear:.
NOT FOUND!
Since the wash cycle doesn’t exist, you will
have to create it before adding it to a wash
program.
Editing an Existing Program
In the event the wash program already exists,
the display will change to:
EXISTING!
for two seconds, followed by the display of the
program contents. For example:
C1>RINSE = 1
By using the INC or DEC keys, the various
cycles comprising the wash program can be
viewed. The program can be modified, and
cycles can be added or deleted.
Deleting a Cycle
Using the INC and DEC keys, find the cycle
you wish to delete. While the cycle is
displayed, press the delete key, then press the
