Your Washer-Dryer spins at a high speed, which will extract more water especially from
absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into the drying mode.

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.

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 High Efficiency (HE) 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 [EZ 3720 CEE] and clogging the fan blower mechanism [EZ 3720 CEE/EZ 1720 V] with
lint. If you have any problem obtaining High Efficiency (HE) detergent, please order Equator HE
detergent available online at www.equatorappliances.com.

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.

DRYER EFFICIENCY
Your Washer-Dryer operates on 120 volts. It will take a longer time to dry clothes than a traditional
dryer (which operates on 220 volts). However, with the following tips, you can increase the efficiency
of the dryer.
dryer (which operates on 220 volts). However, with the following tips, you can increase the efficiency
of the dryer.
1. FABRIC SOFTENER: After the wash cycle, the clothes can get stuck to the sides of the drum.
USING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER WILL CAUSE THE CLOTHES TO UNSTICK IMMEDIATELY
AND TUMBLE IN THE DRY CYCLE. THIS HELPS DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND CAUSES LESS
WRINKLES.

2. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 14 lbs (1.90 cu. ft.) While this unit has one of the
largest drum available on any combination washer-dryer, it is smaller than a standard U.S. washer.
The EZ 3720 CEE/EZ 1720 V drum should not be overloaded. With too many clothes, airflow is
reduced, increasing drying time. The drum should be filled to a maximum 2/3

full.
3. OVER DRYING: [EZ 3720 CEE] 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 over-dry the clothes.

4. USE HIGH EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT: By using High Efficiency (HE) detergent (Equator
brand or any other), you are preventing suds from entering the condensing chamber [EZ 3720 CEE].
When suds enter the condensing chamber, lint particles can clog up the chamber and the fan blower
[EZ 3720 CEE/EZ 1720 V]. Over time, this reduces drying efficiency and may require the fan blower
(impeller) to be cleaned. For this and all other front-loading/horizontal-axis units, High Efficiency
(HE) detergents go a long way to improve the efficiency of the units.
