Equator ED 620 - Manual (Page 7)

HELPFUL HINTS
This 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.
To dry your laundry, the 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.
DRYER EFFICIENCY
Your dryer operates on 110 volts and the heating element is rated at 1200 watts; 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. FABRIC SOFTENER: Prior to putting clothes into the this unit, adding liquid fabric
softener (e.g. Downey®) to the wash load will help improve the drying efficiency by at least
30%.
2. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 14 lbs (1.90 cu. ft.) With too many clothes,
airflow is reduced, increasing drying time. A maximum of 9.0 lbs or 3/5
th of the drum full of
clothes is recommended for ideal drying.
