Helpful Hints

Your Washer features three different speeds during the wash cycle. During the Cotton cycle the drum spins at 1,000 or 400 rpm depending on how you set it. During Permanent Press the drum spins at 500 rpm. During delicates, the drum spins at 400 rpm. When washing heavy cotton articles such as bath towels or jeans, be sure the “Regular” washer setting is selected. The faster spinning will extract more water from these highly absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into the drying mode. This will cut down on your drying time.

Use Liquid Fabric Softener. Fill the softener compartment up to the level marked. Using fabric softener fluffs out clothes immediately after the wash cycle. This helps speed drying time and reduces wrinkles.

Use Low sudsing Detergent. This is recommended for all front-loading washers. It ensures there is no over sudsing, which may reduce the performance of your machine. If you have any problem obtaining low sudsing detergent, please call Equator to obtain information on our house brand, Equator low sudsing detergent. A coupon for a free box of the Equator detergent is enclosed with the warranty card.

When sorting laundry always take into consideration the quantity and type of fabric contained in the load. Highly absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will absorb more water and become very heavy when saturated. If you notice that you are washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load, separate them into smaller loads.
