Use & Care Information Due to the unique washing action of the CALYPSO™ washer, it is strongly recommended that the consumer use a High Efficiency detergent. High Efficiency detergents are formulated to control sudsing which may occur with use of regular detergents. If the consumer does not wish to use HE detergent, it is recommended to use 1/2 the normal amount. In soft water locations, the quantity may need to be reduced even further. Only LIQUID chlorine bleach should be used in the Bleach

Water Temp The WATER TEMP keypad provides for selection of different wash and rinse combinations. Water fill temperatures can be either HOT (hot water valve only), WARM (both the hot and cold water valves) or COLD (cold water valve only). Fills during rinses may be COLD until the final rinse/spin interval. The WATER TEMP can be changed at any time during the wash cycle. The action takes place during a water fill, or the next water fill. Changes late in the cycle are allowed, but may not be a

MACHINE CONTROLLER The Machine Controller interprets the consumer inputs from the keyswitch pads to operate the cycle selected. The Machine Controller interfaces with the Motor Controller to operate the Drive motor and Pump motor through their vari- ous functions during the cycle. The Machine Controller also directly operates the water fill and dispenser solenoids, interprets the thermistor readings, lid switch condition, as well as the position of the contacts in the Operating and Flood Press

Peekaboo Mode The Peekaboo mode allows the user the opportunity to look into the washer during a wash action. During the Peekaboo Mode, the electronic control will allow the machine to nutate at 150 NPM for a maximum of 5-seconds after the washer lid is opened. When the lid is closed, the Start pad must be pressed to continue the cycle.

In the spin mode, the top of the leveler is positioned to be in line with the nutate shaft. This levels the outer wash plate so that the spin basket spins without an out of balance condition that would be caused by a tilted wash plate. The leveler shift mechanism is moved from nutate to spin by the nutate shaft direction and an interfer- ence with the inner wash plate embossment.

DRIVE SYSTEM The Drive Motor operates the nutate and spin functions by reversing direction. The Drive Motor is linked to the drive mechanisms by a stretch belt. The belt transfers the motion of the Drive Motor to a Drive Pulley. The Drive Pulley has a splined hub, into which the Nutate Shaft is inserted and is in motion in whichever direction the Drive Pulley is turning. The Drive Pulley, Drive Motor and Drive Belt all turn in a clock-wise direction, as viewed from underneath when the system

PRESSURE SWITCHES The washer uses two pressure switches to control the amount of water entering the tub and to protect against an overfill condition. The operating pressure switch, marked OPR, controls the amount of water that enters the tub during normal wash and rinse functions. This switch operates in the same manner as similar pressure switches through a pressure switch tube, diaphragm and switch. The switch contact is normally closed and will open on pressure rise. The overfill pressure

RECIRCULATION AND DRAIN Water Pump/Pump Motor The pump is directly driven by a separate reversible 120 VAC 60 Hz motor. By being reversible, the motor provides for two separate operations of the washer.

When water is present in the tub, the check Recirculation Check Ball balls will f
