Helpful Hints
Your Washer Dryer features three different speeds during the wash cycle. During the Cotton cycle the drum spins at 1,200 or 800 rpm depending on how you set it. During Permanent Press the drum spins at 850 rpm. During delicates, the drum spins at 500 rpm. When drying 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 reduce wrinkles.
This Washer Dryer is a 110 Volt machine, so the heating element requires more time to achieve full heat than a larger 220 volt unit requires. The heating element will take about 10 minutes to reach full heat.
To dry your laundry, the Washer Dryer blows heated air into the rotating drum. As the drum tumbles your laundry, the warm air dries it. If the drum is overfilled with laundry, the air is not allowed to circulate and clothes will not dry properly.
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. Also, this prevents damage to your machine which may be caused by excess suds entering the condensing chamber and clogging the fan blower mechanism with lint. 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 your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry you may be overloading the machine, or washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load.
