Here are some of the best reasons for buying your Super Washer

  1. Easy Operation
    This appliance is simple to use as a washer.

  2. Efficient Operation
    With a high spin speed of 1400 rpm, more water is extracted, allowing shorter dry times.

  3. Convenience
    This appliance can be permanently installed and be made portable with the installation of the portability kit (sold separately) where needed.

  4. Placement Options
    The Washer’s sleek design makes it a perfect appliance for any kitchen or laundry room.

  5. Better Clothing Appearance
    This Washer has no agitator to damage your clothes so they look better and last longer.

    This appliance uses very little water for washing and far less than a standard full size top-loading washer. A new feature introduced is automatic water level which helps in saving water as it automatically decides the water intake depending on the quantity of your clothes.

  7. Energy Savings
    This appliance is engineered to provide valuable energy savings when compared to other washers

  8. Maintenance

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your washing machine has been built in compliance with safety regulations,to protect you and all your family.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
  2. Do not wash articles that have been previously deaned in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, other flammable or explosive substances, as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
  3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
  4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
  5. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is moving.
  6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
  7. Do not tamper with controls.
  8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out.
  9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
  10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated Hydrogen.
  11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to reduce static unless recommended by the manufacturers of the fabric softener product
  12. Check the Coin Trap every few months to remove any coins, buttons or similar size objects.

SAFETY

EQUATOR-ADVANCED-EW826B-Stackable-Front-Load-Washer-FIG-

HELPFUL HINTS

  1. Your Washer spins at a high 1200 rpm spin speed, which will extract more water especially from absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness. This will cut down on your drying time.
  2. 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 REDUCE WRINKLES.

PRE-INSTALLATION

  1. The unit must be installed on a strong leveled surface in a protected, dry and well-ventilated area,with a power and water supply of sufficient capacity and a sufficient outlet in close proximity.
  2. Installation on Carpet or Wood increases vibrations.
    • Carpets – place on light carpet only.
    • Wood – brace floor with screws and place additional sheets of plywood before installation.
  3.  This unit’s installation and grounding should be done in accordance with local codes by a qualified installer. “Installation Instructions” are included in this manual for the Installer’s reference.
  4. The unit should be plugged into a properly grounded three (3) prong electrical outlet of 110V/60Hz with minimum 15 Amps, It should not be controlled by a wall switch or pull cord which might be turned off accidentally.
