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: The door
is electronically kept locked during the drying cycle, with
the Mode+Door Lock light on. This prevents starting and
stopping the heater, which in turn conserves energy by
trapping the heat.
2. 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 spin at 1,200 rpm, while hot air
from the dryer enters the drum at the same time.
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.
Your Washer Dryer 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
will extract 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.
Using 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 reduce 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.

Helpful Hints
3.OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of
12 lbs. While this is the largest drum available on any
combination washer-dryer, it is smaller than a standard U.S.
washer.
The drum should not be overloaded.
Too many clothes reduce the airflow and increase the drying
time.
A maximum of 2/3 of the drum full of clothes is recommeded
for ideal 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 LOW SUDSING DETERGENT: By using low sudsing
detergent, 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.
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 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
when excess suds enter the condensing chamber and clog
the fan blower mechanism with lint.
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.
