Operation Instructions

Load types and sizes

A different kind of machine

In some ways, using your Eurotech washer/dryer is much different than using traditional, separate laundry products. First, the load sizes will be smaller, since both washing and drying occur in the same drum. The wash cycle is about the same as a traditional washer, but drying times will be longer. You will become accustomed to doing smaller, more convenient loads of laundry instead of doing bulkier loads less frequently.

Choosing drying times and load sizes

Drying times depend on fabric dampness and the size and type of the load. Jeans, towels and other thick fabrics take longer to dry.

For the condenser dryer to operate properly, items must be able to tumble freely in the drum. If you overload the drum, your laundry will not dry properly. In general, if your dry time is more than 140 minutes, reduce the load size.

Tips for best results

Use a combination of small and large items to make a full load. Rather than washing a single towel, sweater or pair of jeans, add a few similar items to balance the load. Single, heavy items such as a terry bathrobe may be washed separately.

Using the Detergent Dispenser Drawer

The dispenser drawer has 3 compartments, for (1) pre-wash, (2) main wash and (3) fabric softener as shown (Fig. 9). The machine automatically dispenses the detergent and softener at the proper times in the cycle.

To load the dispenser, simply pull out the drawer and add the appropriate amounts of HE powdered detergent and liquid fabric softener into the compartments noted above. Do not add detergent to the pre-wash compartment unless you are using a program with a pre-wash cycle. Otherwise, the machine may over-suds and spill onto the floor.

Cotton and linen fabrics should be washed in full loads while using the “wash only” mode. When using the “wash / dry” mode, the capacity should always be at half load or less.

Permanent press fabrics need more room to move freely during washing; fill the machine half full for best results on permanent press items.

Delicate fabrics, such as machine washable wool and silk, should be washed in one-third sized loads for best results.

Do not use the machine to wash torn, frayed or linens with raw hems. If such items must be machine-washed, place in a mesh bag for protection.

Do not wash whites and colored linens together. Do not machine-wash rugs that could come apart and clog the pump of the machine.

NOTE: When using a liquid detergent, insert the special container supplied with the washer into the main wash compartment (Fig 9a). Pour the manufacturer’s recommended dosage of HE liquid detergent into the container (Fig 9b). Close detergent dispenser (fig 9c).

Turn colored and printed t-shirts and sweatshirts inside out before washing to make them last longer. Always iron such items inside out.

Protect delicate underwear, tights, stockings and other fragile garments by putting in a mesh laundry pouch to wash and dry.

Overalls have straps with hooks that can damage your washing machine and other garments during the wash/dry cycle. Minimize risk by placing hooks in pockets and secure with safety pins.

NOTE: You will become accustomed to the best methods the more you use your new Eurotech washer/dryer product. It would be better to start with smaller loads and amounts of detergent which you can adjust over time.
