This appliance is an automatic washer with a capacity of up to:

1.92 cu. feet

Instructions 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
traditional dryer (which operates 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: The door
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
trapping the heat.

2. F

FABRIC SOFTENER:

ABRIC SOFTENER:

ABRIC SOFTENER: When the Wash 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 clothes will be getting spun at 1,200 rpm, while
hot air from the dryer will be entering the drum at the same
time. While centrifugal force causes clothes to stick to the
sides of the drum, the hot air will “bake” them to the sides. It
may take 30 minutes or more for the clothes to unstick and
fall into the drum. USING LIQ

3.OVERLOADING:

3.OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of
1.92 cu. ft. While this is the largest drum available on any
combination washer-dryer, it is smaller than a standard U.S.
washer. The EZ 3612 CEE drum should not be overloaded.
With too many clothes, airflow is reduced, increasing drying
time. A maximum of 2/3 of the drum full of clothes is
recommeded for ideal drying.

4. OVER DRYING:

4. OVER DRYING: This machine uses a condensing dryer.
In this cold water is used to condense the moisture from the
hot air. Since there is no external exhaust system, the
moisture remains in the machine. Frequently, when it seems
the clothes are damp, it is actually the remaining moisture
(like dew). Take clothes out and within a few minutes they
will be dry. Do not overdry the clothes.

5. USE LO

USE LO

USE LOW SUDSING DETERGENT

W SUDSING DETERGENT

W SUDSING DETERGENT::::: By using low sudsing

detergent (Equator brand or any other), you are preventing
suds from entering the condensing chamber. When suds
enter the condensing chamber, lint particles can clog up the
chamber and the fan blower. Over time, this reduces drying
efficiency and may require the fan blower (impeller) to be
cleaned.

Dryer Efficiency

Your new appliance is carefully engineered product. Many times
