The specific steps to start a machine may vary depending on the laundry but the general steps are similar. The following procedure is demonstrated on an Alliance ACA FLW machine and paid with a chip card.
1) Select the desired cycle on the machine, then make the payment, as suggested by the reader UI.
2) Remove the chip card as directed by the reader's UI. You'll also hear a beep sound, which serves as an alert for this action.
3) Press the Start button on the machine as directed by the reader UI. You'll also hear a continuous beep sound, which serves as an alert for this action.
4) You will see the machine is started, and the reader UI will display “Machine in Use.”
