1.WASH TIMER
This Electro mechanical timer is meant for selecting the WASH / RINSE duration ranging
from 1 minute to 15 minutes. Indications for 3,6,9,12 & 15 minutes are given in the dial. For
setting the required duration, the knob has to be rotated in clockwise direction and set at
corresponding mark in the dial. Once the knob is set at the required position, the machine is
switched on and the timer automatically rewinds in anticlockwise direction while performing
WASH / RINSE. Once the timer knob reaches the 'OFF' position, the buzzer indicates the
completion of the cycle and the machine gets automatically switched off.
2 . WASH ACTION
Wash action switch is basically a three position switch viz., HEAVY, NORMAL, & SOFT.
This knob controls the ON and OFF duration of the motor during agitation thereby varying
the washing action. The following are the wash timing corresponding to various settings:
3. DRAIN SELECTOR
This is a mechanical, slide type knob with two positions WASH/RINSE and DRAIN. When
set at WASH/RINSE position, the drain valve attached to the wash tub is closed thereby
allowing the water to get retained in the tub to perform wash/rinse , If the knob Is pushed to
DRAIN mode , the drain and the water in the wash tub is drained out.
4. SPIN TIMER (only in SUPER PLUS NEW Model)
This is a mechanical, spring wound timer meant for setting the spin duration ranging form 1
to 5 minutes. For setting the required duration, the knob has to be rotated clockwise and set at
the required mark. Never attempt to rotate the timer in anticlockwise direction. Once the
knob is set at the required position, the spin motor starts rotating thereby completing the
drying process. Once the cycle is completed, the knob reaches OFF position and thereby the
supply to the spin motor is automatically cut off.
