If the program name already exists, the washer software will require you to enter a unique name. This protects washer programs from inadvertently being overwritten.

The NAME display offers four symbols that can be used in a program name: dash (hyphen), forward slash, colon, and underscore (see below). These symbols appear in the LCD as

SoftKey choices. To include a symbol within a program name, press its corresponding

SoftKey.

System Startup

To turn on the ELx50™, press the on/off switch on the right side of the base. The ELx50 will perform a self-test, displaying the screens shown below until initialization is complete.

During this time, all keys are inactive.
