the imbalance occurred. The EL6 will retry 3 times before terminating the program. This cycle
should not be added to any program.
4.2.2 Spin 9 - Drain with no spin
Typically, a drain will follow a bath in a standard wash formula (no surprise!). The easiest way to
achieve this is by using the already programmed Spin 9. Adding drain steps in each bath would
waste many steps over simply using the Spin 9 routine (only 2 steps). In fact, this is a major
strength of the EL6 – the ability to use a similar function over and over without reprograming is a
major time saver and makes it very easy to maintain the programs in the future.
Note: NEVER USE 00 for a cycle number. EL6 Win will accept the data, but the
programs will not execute properly.
