Frequently Asked Questions - ED 870 Equator

How often should I clean the lint filter?
Clean the lint filter before each dry cycle. Also have a qualified technician vacuum lint from the dryer once a year.
Can I reverse the door swing?
Yes, the door is reversible. Unplug the dryer, remove screws, rotate the strike plate and hinge assembly, then reattach on the opposite side. Instructions are in the manual.
What do error codes like 'E1' or 'E2' mean?
Common error codes include: Door open (close door firmly), Door switch failure (check wiring), Dry sensor failure (check connection), Dry heating failure (clean lint filter and reset thermostat). For other codes, contact customer service.
Why are my clothes still damp after a cycle?
Possible causes: overloaded dryer, clogged lint filter, improper venting, or incorrect cycle selection. For mixed fabrics, select Extra dry level. Clean the sensor with a moist cloth if needed.
How do I use the Sanitize cycle?
Turn the dial to Sanitize 165°. The cycle heats air to 165°F (74°C) to remove germs. It is pre-set to High heat and Extra Dry level, running for 2 hours 30 minutes.
Why are my clothes wrinkled?
Overdrying or leaving items in the dryer after the cycle ends can cause wrinkles. Remove clothes while still slightly damp and fold immediately. Use the Refresh 12' cycle to reduce wrinkles.
What is the Child Lock feature?
Press and hold the Child Lock button for 5 seconds to lock all buttons except Power. This prevents children from changing settings. Repeat to unlock.
Can I use an extension cord?
No, do not use an extension cord. The dryer must be connected to an individual circuit matching the rating plate, with proper grounding.
How do I level the dryer?
Adjust the four leveling feet until the dryer is stable and even. Use a level on top of the machine. Tighten the lock nuts against the bottom after leveling to prevent vibration.
What is the warranty coverage?
The dryer comes with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, 2 years on the motor, and 5 years against rust for residential use. Commercial use is covered for 90 days.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the Dryer, please check the inside of the drum to ensure that children or pets have not climbed into the appliance.

Operating the Dryer

Before Starting the Dry Cycle

  • Empty pockets of items
  • Do not dry clothes with residues of oil or flammable substances
  • Follow clothing manufacturer's care labels.

Load clothes loosely into the dryer, ensuring that the clothes have enough room to tumble and to let the air circulate through the clothes. Filling the dryer with too many clothes will require more time to dry and may cause wrinkle in the clothing.

Ensure that lint has been removed from the filter for efficient drying.

The Clean Lint Filter Reminder icon will flash on the display screen.

Power On

Close the door firmly and press the Power button to turn on the dryer. If the door is not closed properly, the door unlock icon will appear on the Display Screen.

The LED will illuminate on the Display Screen and on the Dry Cycle Dial.

The default setting is for NORMAL dry cycle, "More" Dry Level, "Medium" Temp and 2 hours dry time.

Select a Dry Cycle

If the default NORMAL dry cycle is desired, the cycle can be started. If an alternate cycle is desired, rotate the Dry Cycle Dial in either direction to any of the other cycles: Heavy, ECO, Delicate, Shoes, Allergen131°, Sanitize165°.

The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. Each of the cycles has pre-set dry times, dry levels and temperatures, based on sensor drying. Sensor dry cycles monitor the moisture in the clothes and shut the dryer off automatically when the selected dry level is reached.

Note: The time shown remaining on the display screen may increase or decrease during the dry cycle as the sensor dry function monitors for moisture in the clothes and adjusts the time.

Refresh

Refresh 12' is a time dry cycle which tumbles the clothes for a short time while blowing hot air into the drum. This reduces wrinkles and refreshes the clothes. Use this cycle after the drying is completed and before taking clothes out of the dryer. This is optional.

Select Dry Level and Temperature

After the dry cycle is selected, you have the option to change the Dry Level and the Temperature.

  • Press Dry Level to select how much you want the clothes to dry. Press repeatedly to select from: Extra, More, Less or Damp. The selection will illuminate on the display screen.
  • Press Temp to select the heat level for drying clothes. Press repeatedly to select from: High, Medium or Air. The selection will illuminate on the display screen.

Note: Some dry cycles do not allow these settings to be changed. For example, Allergen and Sanitize only use High heat.

Options

In addition to selecting the dry level and temperature, you can also select options on the Control Panel for Delay, Chime and Child Lock.

  • Press Delay to start the dry cycle at a later time. Select from 1 to 24 hours. Each time you press increases the time in one-hour increments.
  • Press Chime to turn the end of cycle chime sound on or off. An indicator light will illuminate on the Display Screen to show if the Chime is on or off.
  • The Child Lock function prevents children from playing with the buttons on the control panel. Press and hold Child Lock for 5 seconds to set or release the Child Lock. An indicator light will illuminate on the display screen to show that the Child Lock is set. Once Child Lock is set, no button except for the Power button will function until the Child Lock has been released.

Time Dry

If you want to set a specific time for drying (not using sensor dry cycles) press Time Dry to select the minutes to run the dry cycle. Repeated pressing of Time Dry increases the time in 10-minute increments up to one hour.

Start the cycle

After dry cycle and options have been selected, Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door, or by pressing the START/PAUSE button.

End of the cycle

When the cycle is completed, "End" will be displayed on the screen and the chime will sound if it has been set. Open the dryer door and remove the clothes from the dryer. It is recommended that clothes be removed from the dryer when the cycle ends and the clothes are still warm. Folding them right away will reduce wrinkles.

If clothes have been sitting in the dryer for a while after the cycle has ended, the Refresh 12' cycle can be run for a quick refresh of the clothes.
