Using the Detergent Dispenser Drawer
The dispenser drawer has 3 compartments, for (1) pre-wash, (2) main
wash and (3) fabric softener as shown (Fig. 9). The machine automatically
dispenses the detergent and softener at the proper times in the cycle.
To load the dispenser, simply pull out the drawer and add the appropriate
amounts of HE powdered detergent and liquid fabric softener into the
compartments noted above. Do not add detergent to the pre-wash
compartment unless you are using a program with a pre-wash cycle.
Otherwise, the machine may over-suds and spill onto the floor.
NOTE: When using a liquid detergent, insert the special container supplied
with the washer into the main wash compartment (Fig 9a). Pour the
manufacturer’s recommended dosage of HE liquid detergent into the container
(Fig 9b). Close detergent dispenser (fig 9c).

Load types and sizes
A different kind of machine
In some ways, using your Eurotech washer/dryer is much different than using
traditional, separate laundry products. First, the load sizes will be smaller,
since both washing and drying occur in the same drum. The wash cycle is
about the same as a traditional washer, but drying times will be longer. You
will become accustomed to doing smaller, more convenient loads of laundry
instead of doing bulkier loads less frequently.
Choosing drying times and load sizes
Drying times depend on fabric dampness and the size and type of the load.
Jeans, towels and other thick fabrics take longer to dry.
For the condenser dryer to operate properly, items must be able to tumble
freely in the drum. If you overload the drum, your laundry will not dry
properly. In general, if your dry time is more than 140 minutes, reduce the
load size.
Tips for best results
Use a combination of small and large items to make a full load. Rather than
washing a single towel, sweater or pair of jeans, add a few similar items
to balance the load. Single, heavy items such as a terry bathrobe may be
washed separately.
Cotton and linen fabrics should be washed in full loads while using the “wash
only” mode. When using the “wash / dry” mode, the capacity should always
be at half load or less.
Permanent press fabrics need more room to move freely during washing; fill
the machine half full for best results on permanent press items.
Delicate fabrics, such as machine washable wool and silk, should be washed
in one-third sized loads for best results.
Do not use the machine to wash torn, frayed or linens with raw hems. If such
items must be machine-washed, place in a mesh bag for protection.
Do not wash whites and colored linens together. Do not machine-wash rugs
that could come apart and clog the pump of the machine.
Turn colored and printed t-shirts and sweatshirts inside out before washing to
make them last longer. Always iron such items inside out.
Protect delicate underwear, tights, stockings and other fragile garments by
putting in a mesh laundry pouch to wash and dry.
Overalls have straps with hooks that can damage your washing machine and
other garments during the wash/dry cycle. Minimize risk by placing hooks in
pockets and secure with safety pins.
NOTE: You will become accustomed to the best methods the
more you use your new Eurotech washer/dryer product. It
would be better to start with smaller loads and amounts of
detergent which you can adjust over time.
