Dryer Efficiency
Your washer dryer operates on 120 volts and has a 1,200 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 drying cycle, with
the Mode+Door Lock light on. This prevents any starting abd shutting the heater, which in turn conserves energy by trapping
the heat.
2. FABRIC SOFTNER: 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 sun at 1,200 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 sides. It may take 30 minutes
or more for the clothes to unstick and fall into the drum.
USING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTNER WILL CAUSE
THE CLOTHEST UNSTICK IMMEDIATELY. THIS HELPS DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND
CAUSES LESS WRINKLES.
3. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 12 lbs. While this is the largest drum available on any combination
washer-dryer. The drum should not be overloaded. With too many clothes, airflow is reduced, increasing drying time. A maxi-
mum of 2/3 of the drum full of clothes is raccomanded 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 ente-
ring 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.
Your new appliance is carefully engineered product. Many times what appears to be a reason to call for service, requires
nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home.
