How to Use the Washer and Dryer at Wander Anchor Cove

We’ve all been there – dreading the return home after an incredible vacation, only to face the tedious task of unpacking and washing a mountain of dirty laundry. But what if I told you that you could cut down on packing, wear your favorite outdoor clothes more than once, and return home with nothing but fresh-smelling clothes? Pretty awesome, right?

Having access to laundry appliances can make a huge difference in making your vacation much more enjoyable, and we have provided them for you at the Wander home. Not only does it save you time, but it also helps you stay organized and stress-free while on the go!

Here’s your quick and easy guide on using the washer and dryer waiting for you at Wander Anchor Cove!

Before we begin 

Once you’re ready to take on your laundry, simply head to the room right across the bunk bedroom – right there, you'll find the washer and dryer.

Note: To avoid leaks or clogs, offset both washer and dryer cycles since they run through the same piping.

Let's start washing

1.) Sort your load based on colors and fabric type to ensure excellent wash performance. 

2.) Load light items together to prevent out-of-balance load and put small things in mesh bags to avoid catching them in the impeller at the bottom of the drum. Meanwhile, load and wash bulky items like comforters, bedspreads, and blankets one at a time to avoid getting them tangled and ensure even washing.

3.) Detergents are all available at home, but if you ever want to bring your own, we highly recommend using HE (High Efficiency) ones since they produce fewer suds.

4.) Open the dispenser drawer and load the products into their respective compartments. To ensure that bleach or fabric softener isn't dispensed too early, it's important to close and open the dispenser drawer with care.

5.) Turn the Cycle Knob Selector to choose the best one that fits your load. To help you decide, check out this Cycle Guide.

Note: To ensure the best laundry care, certain settings or options may not be available for every cycle. If a setting or option is unavailable for the selected cycle, the indicator will not light up.

6.) Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. Press this button in the middle of a cycle to pause without losing your desired setting.

7.) For safety purposes, the door will lock automatically throughout the entire washing cycle.

9.) You can monitor your cycle by looking at the Status Display.

10.) Once the cycle is complete, you will hear a chime (if this option was selected), and you may unlock the door and collect your washed load.

11.) Make sure the door is left open to allow the interior to dry and avoid mold growth.

Now it's time to dry

For better airflow and drying performance, make sure the lint filter is clean. Open the dryer door, pull the lint filter directly up, remove any buildup, and you're good to go!

1.) Load the dryer and ensure clothes are pushed entirely into the drum and away from the door seal area. 

2.) Turn the Cycle Knob Selector to choose the best one that fits your load.

3.) Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. Press this button in the middle of a cycle to pause without losing your desired setting. In case you want to change the setting, simply press Cancel.

4.) You can monitor your cycle by looking at the Status Display, including the estimated time remaining for the cycle to finish.

5.) Once the cycle is all done, the chime will sound, and it’s time to collect your washed items. As much as possible, retrieve your items immediately to lessen wrinkling. 

6.) Similar to the washer, please keep the door open to allow the interior to dry and avoid mold growth.

Got questions?

At times, when you push the buttons on the washer or dryer, there is no response. In most cases, this occurs when the Control Lock feature is activated.

To activate or deactivate the Control Lock feature on the washer or dryer, press and hold the option on the lower right side of the panel for five seconds.

If this doesn’t do the trick or you run into other problems, please contact our Concierge Team for assistance!
