Suggestions for Use - EZ 3600 C/CEE
INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF THE DRYER
The EZ 3600 C operates on 110 volts and has a 1300 watt dryer. It will take a longer time to dry clothes
than a traditional dryer (which operates on 220 volts, 5000 watts). However, with the following tips, you
can increase the efficiency of the dryer.
1. DO NOT OPEN DOOR FREQUENTLY: Although the door can be
opened during the drying cycle, we do not recommend that you do so
until drying time is complete. Each time the door is opened, the heater
is shut off. It starts again when the door is closed but takes 5-10 minutes
to get to its full power. This adds to the drying time.
2. USE FABRIC 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 1,000 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 liquid fabric softener will cause the clothes to unstick immediately. This helps dry
clothes faster and causes less wrinkles.
3. DO NOT OVERLOAD: The EZ 3600 drum has a capacity of 1.9 cu. ft. While this is the
largest drum available on a European type machine, it is nevertheless smaller than a standard US
washer. The drum should not be overloaded. With too many clothes, airflow is reduced, increasing
drying time.
4. DO NOT OVER-DRY: The EZ 3600 C has 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 the clothes out and within a few minutes they will be dry. Do not over dry
the clothes.
5. USE LOW 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 clog up the
chamber as well as the fan blower. Over time, this reduces drying efficiency and
may require the fan blower (impeller) to be cleaned.
ABOUT YOUR WASHER/DRYER
Hot air from the drying cycle is water cooled internally causing the moisture in the heat to condense.
(Note: The machine draws cold water during the dry cycle and is mixed with hot air in a condensing
chamber.) The condensed water is then flushed out through the water outlet hose via the pump.
INSTALLATION
Installation on wood floors will cause the machine to vibrate since there is some "give"
in the wood. This "give" is amplified many times and will cause excessive vibration.
SINGLE FAUCET HOOKUP & OPERATION
The machine uses cold water to mix with hot air in the dry cycle to condense the
moisture in the hot air. When the machine is hooked up to regular hot and cold water
hookups, cold water is automatically drawn into the machine during the dry cycle. However, when the
machine is to connected to a single faucet, the temperature of water entering the machine is determined
by the water mix at the faucet.
If cold water is selected to wash and rinse the clothes, cold water will also come in during the dry cycle.
However, if hot or warm water is used for washing, it is important to turn the faucet to COLD after the
wash cycle, so only cold water is drawn during the dry cycle. Colder water ensures more efficient drying.
WATER DRAINAGE/ U-CONNECTOR
The end of the outlet hose must be passed through the U-Connector (included).
This creates an upside-down U which is put into the drain pipe or over the edge
of the sink. Failure to use the U-Connector may cause the drain hose to pop up
during drainage of water, which may cause water damage to the surrounding area.
HELPFUL HINTS
Use Liquid Fabric Softener whenever possible. Fill the softener compartment up to the level
marked. Using fabric softener fluffs out clothes immediately after the wash cycle 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. 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.
