er 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

willextract 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.

the air is not allowed to circulate and clothes will not dry

properly.

Use Low sudsing Detergent.Use Low sudsing Detergent.

Use Low sudsing Detergent. Thisis recommendedfor all

front loading washers. It ensures there is no over sudsing,

whichmay reducethe performance of your machine. Also,

Equatordetergent is enclosed with thewarranty card.

When sorting laundryWhen sorting laundry

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

5Instructions for installation and use

Your washer dryer operates on 110 volts and has a 1,300

watt dryer. It will take a longer time to dry clothes than a

traditionaldryer (whichoperates on 220 volts, 5,000 watts).

However, with the following tips, you can increase the

efficiency of the dryer.

1. DOOR REMAINS LOCKED DURING DRYING:1. DOOR REMAINS LOCKED DURING DRYING:

1. DOOR REMAINS LOCKED DURING DRYING: Thedoor

is electronically kept locked drying cycle, with the

Mode+Door Lock light on. This prevents any starting and

shutting the heater, which in turn conserves energy by

trappingthe heat.

ABRIC SOFTENER:

When theWash and Dry cycles are

set to run consecutively, the preheat function comes on

automatically. In this, the heater is turned on during the last

spin cycle of the wash program. In the Regular Wash

program,the clotheswillbe gettingspun at1,200rpm, while

hot air from the dryer will be entering the drum at the same

time. While centrifugal force causes clothes to stick to the

sidesof the drum, the hotair will“bake” themto thesides. It

may take 30 minutes or more for the clothes to unstick and

fall into thedrum.USING LIQUSINGLIQ

Included in the accessories supplied with this machine are 2

inlet hoses and 4 rubber washers. The straight end of these

hoses should be connected to the supply fig. 1.

The 90° angled end of these hoses should be connected to

the inlet valves on the back of the machine, using one of the

washers to make a water tight seal on each connection. The

couplings should be tightened by hand, a tool should only be

used if a leak occurs. Do not use excessive force (see M, fig.

1).

The inlet valves are color coded:

RedRed

Red = Hot

WhiteWhite

White = Cold

It is possible to run the machine on a single faucet with cold

wateronly,butwatermustbesuppliedtoeachinletvalve.The

“Y“connector allows asingle water sourceto besplitinto the

two inlets at the rear of the appliance (see fig. 2).The “Y”

connector is part of the faucet available kit - available as an

accessoryfromEquatorParts 1-888-483-9627.

PLUMBING (Water Inlet)

You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks

andensureproperdrainageofthewater.

The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 25” (62 cm)

above the base of the machine. At this point it is possible for

the water to be discharged into a sink or drain pipe, but an air

breakmustbeavailableatthis 24”heighttopreventthemachine

fromsyphoning (seefig. aside).

No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted in the

drainpipe.

What goes in your washer-dryer ?

Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your

garments according to fabric and color. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.

LAUNDRY PREPARATION

Sorting

Clothes should be sorted from separate items which could

damage other garments. Sort items into loads according to

similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of

soil.

-Color.Separateclothesintothreegroups:whitesandpastels,

mediumandbrightcolorsanddarkcolors.Itemswhichbleed

colorshouldbewashedalone.

- Type of fabrics. Delicate items should be separated from

sturdier items. Fabrics that shed lint should be separated

from those which shed none or attract lint.

- Garment constructions. Garmentsthatmayfray easily or

that have unusual trim require gentle care. These garments

maybewashedintheloaderusingtheknitcycle.Ifgarments

arefragileanddelicate,handwashingmaybedesirable.

- Degree of soil. Heavily soiled items should be separated

fromthe restofthewashtopreventtransferofsoilinthewash

water.

Inspection

While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each

garment to see if it requires special care.

Laundry aids

Detergents are the most popular cleaning agents for home

laundry.

Using too little detergent results in poor wash quality, while

using too much causes excessive suds and poor rinsing.
