6 Washer Owner’s Manual
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.
