EL6 Computer

The EL-6 Computer is a powerful and 

programable solid state controller.  Up to 30 

programs, each with up to 15 cycles can be 

programmed.  In addition, the EL-6 can display 

5 languages - English, Italian, German, Spanish 

and French.  The water level can be 

programmed, and is accurate to 1 cm (0.4 in).  

Spin speeds are fully programmable in RPM.  

In the event of power failure, the operator is 

prompted to continue the cycle, or abort it.
