IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• 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.
• 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. If 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 gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS

Adding HE detergent to basket:
Single-dose laundry packets, Oxi- type boosters, color-safe bleach, or scented crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.
When using single-dose laundry packets, make sure that the Load & Go™ Bulk Dispenser option is disabled (on some models).

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.

Adding liquid chlorine bleach to single-load dispenser:
Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 2/3 cup (165 mL).
Do not se color-safe bleach or Oxi in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

IMPORTANT:

• Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do not guess.
• Do not fill beyond the “MAX” line. Overfilling could cause garment damage.
• Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when running the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle, as excess suds may occur.
• On some models: Do not add liquid chlorine bleach to the bulk dispenser.
• Slowly close dispenser drawers. Make sure the drawers are closed completely.

Adding liquid fabric softener to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into liquid fabric softener compartment.
Always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener, based on your load size.
Disable the 1 Liter Load & Go™ dispenser if not used to dispense detergent.
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse.

IMPORTANT: Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than the manufacturer- recommended quantity of fabric softener.
Do not fill past the “MAX” line. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into machine.

• Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
• Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this machine. They will not dispense correctly.
• Do not use fabric softener sheets, as they can stain the load.

Adding HE detergent to Load & Go™ dispenser (on some models):
Use only High Efficiency (HE) liquid detergents.
The bulk dispensers will hold about 67.6 oz. (2 L) or 33.8 oz. (1 L) of liquid HE detergent, depending on dispenser, or enough for many loads of laundry.

To fill bulk dispensers:

Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the base of the machine.
If desired, the drawer can be completely removed from the machine.
Locate the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser. Gently pull up on the tab located on the bulk dispenser lid to lift the fill door.

Fill to the “MAX” line (see illustrations at right) with HE liquid detergent or liquid fabric softener (1-liter dispenser only). Close fill door. It will click
into place. Make sure the concentration setting is correct (see the online “Cycle Guide”).

It is recommended that you rinse out the Load & Go™ containers when refilling, when changing detergent types or concentrations, or when the
will not be used for an extended period.
For instructions on cleaning the dispenser cartridge, see “All-In-One Washer & Dryer Care” in the “Maintenance and Care” section of your Owner’s Manual.
When you want the machine to use the Load & Go bulk dispenser for automatic detergent dispensing, make sure that the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser option is enabled (on some models). Also, do not add any detergent to the single-load dispenser.

Adding HE detergent to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent compartment.
For powdered detergent, lift the selector to the high position.
For liquid detergent, push down the selector to the low position.
Do not overfill; adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the machine too early.
When using single-dose dispenser for detergent, make sure that the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser option is disabled (on some models).

Getting the most out of your All-In-One Washer & Dryer:
Your new machine is configured to run wash & dry cycles by default.
You also have the option to run Wash Only cycles or Dry Only cycles. Refer to the Cycle Guide for additional details.
For optimal drying results and to avoid wrinkling of clothes, do not load clothes more than half full.
Since this unit uses a ventless drying technology, expect longer dry times compared to a vented dryer.

ALL-IN-ONE WASHER & DRYER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.

All-In-One Washer & Dryer Care
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Machine Clean and Performing at Its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your machine which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes) because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the machine door slightly ajar between uses to help dry out the machine and avoid the buildup of odor-causing residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door with a damp cloth.

Cleaning Your All-In-One Washer & Dryer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This machine maintenance procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your machine.

Recheck levelness of machine and that all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat as needed.
