These are the third generation user interfaces used on third generation Wascomat rigid mount washers. It comes with four cycles, selectable by a rocker switch, and an electromechanical cycle indication dial. They come with a brown background with white text set in the Helvetica typeface. This is also the first generation out of three to use the Wascomat header on the top of the UI. The font used for the headers is set in Eurostile.

The first generation Emerald Series was Wascomat's first microprocessor controlled series of washers. The user interface on those machines come with a distinctive vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) monitor with multiple icons.

It comes with seven cycles with three more added from the electromechanical variant. The cycle and extras selected, as well as the machine status are indicated by arrows that point to the corresponding texts next to the monitor.

It also comes with two extras. Gentle Wash uses the same washing action as the delicates cycle while running another cycle that's not the delicates cycle. The extra extract adds four additional minutes to the extraction cycle.
