PASSAP NOTES--these use duomatic language because that is my area of expertise. E-6000 owners can knit them but technique numbers are not included.

When you receive pattern instructions to place needles in hold, here is how to do it. Hold stitches by using the BX setting with a pusher up under each needle that is working. Lower the pushers when below needles to place them in hold.
Ribbing cast on: place every other needle in work on each bed. Rack so that they alternate. Using stockinette setting N/N Knit 1 row zigzag row at stitch size 1-2 using orange strippers. Change to circular setting CX/CX. Increase stitch size to about 4. Knit 2 rows. Change to N/N and stitch size for ribbing. Knit rib.
A circular hem is easier for Passaps than a hung hem and looks the same. You may wish to substitute this in the patterns that suggest a hung hem. To make one, bring all necessary needles to work on both bed. Rack so that needles alternate and will not hit when all come forward. N/N at stitch size 1-2, knit 1 row using orange strippers. CX/CX at about 3 sizes larger, knit 2 rows. Change to black strippers. At 1 stitch size lower than main knitting, knit the hem rows. Transfer to one bed to continue the piece.
These patterns will be easier for you to follow if you use the back as your main bed. You may actually use either bed as the main bed but using the front bed will mean that you must reverse the left/right shaping instructions.
Use orange strippers for all double bed work, black for all single bed work.
When stockinette is called for, use N/GX or GX/N. I recommend N/GX because knitting on the back bed will make the left/right instructions read correctly. If you prefer to knit on the front bed, you’ll need to reverse them.
Where e-wrapping is essential, it is safest to pull yarn through the feeder with the locks at right. E-wrap using backwards Es from right to left. Manually knit the row left to right. Make sure that all needles are in normal working position. Remove the slack from the yarn so that the tensioner will control it correctly and proceed from there. Beginning on waste yarn and using a row of ravel cord to separate the waste from the main can also be helpful when you must e-wrap
