General User Information______________
Cold Start (Initial/First Use)
Appliance is programmed at the factory as follows:
Dryer
6 min. dry time/quarter (coin 1)
$.25 dry price
Warm Start (After Power Failure)
A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in
progress at the time of the power failure, the display will
prompt “Select Cycle to Restart”. This is to indicate the need
for a fabric setting keypad to be pressed to restart dryer.
Pricing
After the door is opened following the completion of a cycle,
the display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free
operation). As coins or debit inputs arrive, the display will
change to lead the user through the initiation of a cycle.
There are 3 types of pricing:
Fixed Cycle
A dryer set up for “Fixed Cycle” operation can only accept
additional time accumulated by increments equal to the cycle
price.
Top Off
A dryer set to offer “Top Off” capability will allow time to be
added to an existing dry cycle in increments equal to the
number of minutes of dry time per quarter (coin 1), up to 99
minutes, regardless of the cost required to start the machine.
When the cycle price is not the same as the denomination of
coin 1, credit in escrow will be applied at a maximum of the
cycle price per key press. When the cycle price is equal to
coin 1, all credit in escrow will be applied with a single key
press (Accumulator Mode).
Note
A maximum of 99 minutes may be purchased; no
!
additional credit is given when 99 minutes is in the
display.
Important
Read all instructions before operating.
!
The fabric setting key pads along with the digital display are
used to setup the dryer controls.
How to use the Keypads
to Program the Controls
The WHITES & COLORS keypad is used to increment
numbers and scan through menu locations.
The PERMANENT PRESS keypad will enter program
locations and save changes made.
The DELICATES keypad is used to decrement numbers and
scan through menu locations.
To back out of a program location hold the DELICATES button
and then press the PERM PRESS button.
Start Operating Setup
Caution
The service access panel must not be opened
!
unless power is first disconnected from the dryer.
Before proceeding it is worth noting that, despite all the
options available, an owner can simply choose to uncrate a
new commercial machine, hook it up, plug it in and have a
unit which operates.
Note
On stacked dryers programming selections apply
!
to both dryers.
Entering and Exiting Service Mode
Entering
Transition the service switch to enter the service mode.
Service mode can also be accessed via ADC data
acquisition (DA) communications. Please note that only
the “vending parameters, count settings, and clock
settings” will be available with this method.
Exiting
First make sure the perm press key has been depressed to
save any changes that have been made and then transition
the service switch.
Free Cycles
This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When
this happens “SELECT CYCLE” will appear rather than a
cycle price. When the cycle price is set to zero, only one cycle
time is allowed to run. Multiple key presses will not add time
and a free cycle will automatically terminate when the door is
opened.
