CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICES PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "Dangerous Voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
INSTALLING YOUR WASHER-DRYER IMPORTANT In the accessories bag you will also find a spanner that is to be used for removing brackets and leveling washer-dryer feet. REMOVING SHIPPING BRACKETS 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove back panel screws and lift panel clear (Fig. 1). Remove fixing screws from the four brackets and cross bearing (Fig. 2) then remove brackets. Fix back panel with 3 screws previously removed (Fig. 3).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Sink Drainpipe System: You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water. Use a drain loop or suitable clamp to support drain hose at 25" (62 cm) minimum 34" (86 cm) maximum. The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 20" (50 cm) above the base of the machine. Entry into sink drain system must be above trap. When routing the drain hose through cabinets or walls assure no ruff or sharp edges can damage the drain hose.
Recessed, Closet And Alcove Installation Instructions The Machine may be installed in a recessed area, closet or alcove. The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum acceptable. Additional spacing should be considered for easy installation, servicing and compliance with local codes and ordinances. Other installations must use the minimum dimensions indicated. Minimum Installation Spacing * Additional clearances for wall, door and floor moldings may be required.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LAUNDRY PREPARATION Sorting Clothes should be sorted to separate items which could damage other garments. Sort items into loads according to similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of soil. • Color - Separate clothes into three groups: whites and pastels medium and bright colors and dark colors. Items which bleed color should be washed alone. • Type of fabrics - Delicate items should be separated from sturdier items.
WASHER FEATURES On-Off Button After the clothes have been loaded and the desired water temperature and cycle selected, pressing the ON-OFF button causes the cycle to begin. On/Off Water Saver Button This button varies the amount of water used during your wash cycle. Selecting “Low” is recommended when doing partial loads of laundry. Besides using less water, the “Low” setting requires less energy and detergent resulting in additional wash economy.

HOW TO WASH Operating Steps Before using the washer for the first time, wipe the inside and outside with a damp cloth to remove any travel dust that has accumulated and we recommend operating a rinse cycle to rinse out your machine. Be sure the hot and cold water faucets are turned on fully. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in and that the circuit is energized. To familiarize you with a load of convenience we suggest "Your First Load" be typical queen-size bedding.
HOW TO USE YOUR NEW WASHER-DRYER • Load the drum with clothes as previously described. Close the door. • Select a program. See chart below. • Select drying time (and half heat if required). • Select desired spin speed (high spin only occurs in regular wash cycle). • Put the detergent, bleach and fabric conditioner into the dispenser. • Press the ON-OFF button to start the machine. Note: Woolen garments should under no circumstances be tumble dried.
LAUNDRY AIDS Detergent Amount Recommendations • Use only a low sudsing detergent, one or two tablespoons (maximum) of the standard powder detergent or liquid equivalent. • The degree of soil will change detergents amounts. For heavier soiled loads, increase the amount of detergent used, for lightly soiled loads decrease the amount of detergent used. • If water is extremely hard, detergent should be increased. Reduced detergent amounts should be used in soft water (under 3.5 grains per gallon).
Cosmetics: Eye Shadow, Lipstick, Liquid Make-Up, Mascara, Powder, Pancake Make-Up or Rouge Apply undiluted liquid detergent to stain, or dampen stain and rub in soap or detergent paste until thick suds are formed. Work in until stain is gone, rinse well. Repeat if necessary. If color remains, bleach is safe for fabrics. Cream, Ice Cream or Milk Sponge stain with cool water or soak stain in cool water for 30 minutes or longer. If stain remains, work a detergent into spot then rinse. Bleach if necessary.
CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning The Exterior As you use the washer, occasionally wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth or sponge; wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use polish or any kind on the plastic trim. Some polishes contain agents which may damage plastics. Cleaning The Interior If you live an area where phosphate detergents are banned, it may be necessary to recondition the washer periodically. Because a non-phosphate detergent must be used, body oils and detergent may accumulate in the washer tub.
Wash And Rinse Water Temperatures Are Incorrect • The hot water hose and cold water hose are connected to the wrong faucets. Water Is Entering Washer But Tub Does Not Fill • Standpipe for the drain hose is not the correct height. (Fig. 2), drain hose is to far into standpipe or air break does not exist. Water Leaks • Hose connections at faucet and/or machine not tight. • Rubber washers are not inside the metal hose connectors (Fig. 3). • Drain hose not securely fastened (Fig. 1,2).
