WARRANTY INFORMATION

Your Equator Appliance is protected by this warranty under normal,

personal, family or household use

(5 Year Limited Warranty - 1st year parts & labor, 2nd year parts,

3rd-5th year main motor), and limited commercial use (90 days)

in the USA and Canada.

WARRANTY

Manufacturer undertakes to the consumer-owner to repair or, at our option, to replace any
part of this product which proves to be defective in workmanship or material under normal
personal, family or household use, in the USA and Canada, for a period of one year from the
date of original purchase. For commercial use, the product is warranted for a period of 90
days. During this period, we will provide all labor and parts necessary to correct such defect,
free of charge, if the appliance has been installed and operated in accordance with Equator
Appliances’ written instructions with the appliance. Ready access to the appliance, for
service, is the responsibility of the consumer-owner. Equator Appliances will not be
responsible for the installation and uninstallation of the unit.

EXCLUSIONS

In no event shall Equator Appliances be liable for incidental or consequential damages or for
damages resulting from external causes such as abuse, misuse, incorrect voltage or acts
God. This warranty does not cover service calls which do not involve defective workmanship
or materials covered by this warranty or incorrect installation procedures. Accordingly,
diagnosis and repair costs for a service call which does not involve defective workmanship
or materials will be the responsibility of the consumer-owner.

Specifically, the following work is not covered under warranty and does not constitute warranty work:

 Installation – e.g. improper hook-up or leveling or non-removal of shipping bolts
 Maintenance – e.g. cleaning of air and/or water filter
 Damage – e.g. replacing broken door handle / damage to cabinet or external parts.
 RV’s / Boats – e.g. excessive movement caused by travel or movement of vehicle.

Most work is covered. The defining factor is, has the machine malfunctioned (manufacturer
is responsible) or has the customer omitted or done something to cause machine to
malfunction (customer is responsible). Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you.

REMOTE LOCATIONS

In case the area of service is in a remote location, Equator Appliances may have to request for the appliance to be taken to the nearest authorized service agent we can find in order to provide service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your safety and that of you children

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 cleaned in, washed in, or spotted
with gasoline, other flammable or explosive substances, as they emit vapors tha
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. I
the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing
machine, 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 b
the Equator Appliances.

12. Check the Coin Trap every few months to remove any coins, buttons or similar size
objects.

HELPFUL HINTS

Your Washer features three different speeds during the wash cycle. During the Cotton cycle

the drum spins at 1,000 or 400 rpm depending on how you set it. During Permanent Press
the drum spins at 500 rpm. During delicates, the drum spins at 400 rpm. When washing
heavy cotton articles such as bath towels or jeans, be sure the “Towels-Sheets” washer
setting is selected. The faster spinning will extract more water from these highly absorbent
fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into the drying mode. This
will cut down on your drying time.

Use Liquid Fabric Softener. Fill the softener compartment up to the level marked. Using
fabric softener fluffs out clothes immediately after the wash cycle. This helps speed drying
time and reduces wrinkles.

Use high efficiency (HE) Detergent. This is recommended for all front-loading washers. It
ensures there is no over sudsing, which may reduce the performance of your machine. If you
have any problem obtaining high efficiency (HE) detergent, please call Equator Appliances
or order it online through www.appliancedesk.com

When sorting laundry always take into consideration the quantity and type of fabric
contained in the load. Highly absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will
absorb more water and become very heavy when saturated. If you notice that you are
washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load, separate them into smaller
loads.
