1 SECTION ONE INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS INST ALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS Proper installation is your responsibility. You will need A water heater set to deliver a minimum of 120°F (49°C) water to the washer. A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requ[...]

2 T ools needed and Parts Supplied Assemble the necessary tools and supplies before beginning the washer installation. Do not re-install into the washer, the styrofoam that contains the supplied parts. To connect the drain hose and water inlet hoses You will need these following tools 1. Flashlight (optional) 2. Pliers (that open to 1 9/16 in (3.95[...]

3 Floor drain system The floor drain system requires a siphon break (purchased separately .) The siphon break must be above the high-water level in the washer , at least 28 in. (71 cm) from the bottom of the washer. Alternate Parts Y ou May Need If You Have You Will Need to Buy Laundry tub or Sump pump system (if not already standpipe taller availa[...]

4 For a laundry tub drain or standpipe Connecting the drain hose “hook” to the corrugated drain hose 1. Open the yellow single-wire clamp and slide over the end of the drain hose about 4 inches. (Pliers optional) 2. Wet the outside end of the drain hose with tap water. Do not use another lubricant. 3. Twist and push the “hook” back and fort[...]

Damage to the valve may result. 1. Cold water inlet valve (blue) 2. Hot water inlet valve (red) 5. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT wat[...]

6 Use & Care Information Due to the unique washing action of the CAL YPSO™ 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 u[...]

Soil Level changes the 7-segment display in 1-minute increments, looping back to the minimum time once the maximum time has been reached. The foll[...]

9 W ater T emp The W A TER TEMP keypad provides for selection of different wash and rinse combinations. W ater fill temperatures can be either HOT (hot water valve only), W ARM (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 W A TER TEMP can be changed at[...]

10 End of Cycle Signal There are three (3) volume levels for the End of Cycle Signal, HIGH, LOW and OFF . Pressing the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL keypad toggles between these options by lighting one of the LEDs and beeping the corresponding end of cycle signal at the volume level selected. The LED remains lit during program mode and running mode until the[...]

11 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 [...]

12 NUT A TION The Calypso washer achieves a significant en- ergy savings by utilizing less water than a tradi- tional top loading machine with an agitator . This is made possible by the use of a W ash Plate which provides an undulating motion to toss the wash load. This action is called nutation. The wash plate is tipped at approximately 35 de- gre[...]

13 UNIVERSAL JOINT During Nutation, the W ash Plate is tipped at a 35 degree angle and must be free to undulate to move the clothing properly . The W ash Plate is attached to a Universal Joint that allows the Plate that freedom of movement. The Universal Joint is attached to the basket drive block by a spanner nut and is sealed top and bottom by a [...]

14 INTERLOCK SWITCHES There are two (2) Interlock Switches located behind the front panel and the bottom panel that ground the drive motor circuit when either panel is removed. When the machine is running with both panels in place, the drive motor is electrically isolated from ground. The interlock switches are normally closed and held open when th[...]

15 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 switc[...]

16 RECIRCULATION AND DRAIN W ater Pump/Pump Motor The pump is directly driven by a separate reversible 120 V AC 60 Hz motor . By being reversible, the motor provides for two separate operations of the washer . Outer T ub The Outer T ub sump plays a role in the drain and water recirculation function The sump area includes two check balls that direct[...]
