Easy Care and Maintenance
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.
Your washer-dryer is designed
to provide reliable service over
many years. A few simple steps
will help to extend its life and
avoid problems. It is advisable
to turn off water faucets when
the machine is not in use. This
protects the hoses, etc.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
The washer-dryer exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap. Do not use polish of any
kind on the plastic trim. Some
polishes contain agents which
can damage plastics.

If you live an area where
phosphate detergents are
banned, it may be necessary
to recondition the washer
periodically. Because a non-
phosphate detergent must be
used, body oils and detergent
may accumulate in the washer
tub. This is particularly evident
in hard water areas or in
homes where heavily soiled
garments are regularly
laundered. To remove this
build-up, run the washer
through a complete cycle
using hot water and 2 cups of
a non precipitating water
conditioner. Do not add any
clothes, detergent, or other
laundry aids.
Once the accumulation has
been removed, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you
follow the preventive
suggestions in this owner’s
manual.

After washing is complete the
water faucets should be turned
off to relieve water pressure on
the hoses.
Wipe the inside of the door with
a soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture.
Periodically, a thin coat of pa-
ste wax should be applied to
the inner door or the washer;
Do not forget to empty all
pockets:
small objects can cause
serious damage to your
washer-dryer.

Detergents already contain
deliming agents. Only if the
water is particularly hard, that
is, rich in lime content, do we
recommend the use of a
specific product at every
wash.
A periodical wash cycle with
a dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or
washing, may prove useful.

To gain access, gently ease down the top of the kick plate panel at
the base of the machine with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place a
shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch any
water that might be present. Open the cover by turning it counter-
clockwise (Fig. 2). When finished cleaning, ensure that the cover is
securely tightened.
Re-fit the kick plate cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge
into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

Check the rubber hoses at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace the hose immediately. When you use your washer-
dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open. Superior quality Stainless Steel hoses are also
available for purchase. Call Equator Parts at 1-888-483-9627 to order.
