Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, 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 the 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.
• Turn off water faucets when appliance is not in use to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture occurs.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.
• Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
• No washer can completely remove oil.

AWARNING

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

UNPACKING AND LEVELING

Unpacking

1. Remove the washer from its packaging.
2.  Make sure that the washer has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
3.  Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washer needs to be moved to another location.

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Leveling

1. Install the washer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Leveling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating.

REMOVING THE TRANSIT SCREWS
For transportation, the inside of the machine is supported by screws, rubber grommets and spacers on the back panel. Before using the washer, these items MUST be removed. Important: Transit screws and spacers must be removed before operating the machine to allow proper operation of the machine and to prevent damage to the appliance.
After positioning the washer near the installation location, remove the four screws (see figure), with the rubber grommets and plastic spacers that are attached to them.
Important: Retain the transit screws, spacers and rubber tubes. These items should be reinstalled to prevent damage if or when you transport the machine in the future.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION SPACING

This machine may be installed free standing as well as 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. Installations must conform with the minimum dimensions indicated.

OPENING THE PORTHOLE DOOR MANUALLY
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a power cut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2.  Make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3.  Using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure).
   

4. Unscrew and remove the screw that is holding the tab in place.

5. Pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.

6.  Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine. Cleaning the outside of the washing machine The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the surfaces. Cleaning the inside of the washing machine The washing machine has a “Clean Washer ” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum. To optimize this cycle, use regular liquid chlorine bleach. Pour bleach into both the softener compartment and the extra bleach compartments, filling both to their respective max fill levels. Do not use thickened or splash-less bleach as excess suds may occur.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is recommended above could cause washer damage over time. To start the program, close the door, turn the machine ON and set “Clean Washer ” cycle.
To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 30 wash cycles.

Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odors from forming. For better care, periodically wipe the entire inside of the door with a damp cloth, and also inspect the gray-colored seal between the door opening and the drum for buildup. Wipe the seal clean using a damp.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly (at least once per year) for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it immediately. During the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the color intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.
NOTE: Do not Use Second-Hand Hoses.

CLEANING THE MESH FILTERS IN THE WATER INLET VALVES

1. Close water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.
   NOTE: Never use second-hand hoses.

2. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the back of the washing machine by hand. Wipe any debris off of the mesh filter on the water inlet valve with your hand or using a squirt bottle to flush it out with water.
   

3. Attach one inlet hose to the water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Turn on that hose’s respective water supply, and check for leaks. Tighten if necessary. Repeat this step with the second inlet hose. Both inlet hoses must be connected for washer to work properly.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer.

• Always inspect for leaks.
  

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER Remove the dispenser by rotating out to fully open position and then pulling it out (see figure). The drawer will slide on the handle. You may find some residue buildup in or behind the washer’s dispenser. Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and towel dry. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed. Replace the dispenser by sliding it back onto the handle and make sure that it is correctly seated.

CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
If you used a hot wash program, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly, to ensure that there are no obstructions in the filter, that could prevent the water from draining during or after a wash cycle.
NOTE: Perform the following procedure every 6 months.

1.  Remove the cover panel: Using a screwdriver, do that which is shown in the following figure.

2. Container for the drained water: Place a low and wide container under the water filter in order to collect the residual water.

3. Drain the water: Slowly turn the filter counter-clockwise until all the water has come out. Allow the water to flow out without removing the filter. Once the container is full, close the water filter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat the procedure until all the water has been drained.

4. Remove filter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water filter by turning it out anticlockwise.
   

5. Clean the water filter: remove large clumps of lint by hand from the filter and place lint in a suitable waste container. Remove remaining residue from the filter by rinsing with water.

6. Insert the water filter and reinstall the cover panel: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter (0.22 gal) of water into the detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the cover panel.

This limited one-year warranty (“Warranty”) is given only to the original end- use/retail purchaser (the “First Using Purchaser”) of the accompanying Splendide product(s) (the “Splendide Product”). If you purchased this Splendide Product from someone other than an authorized Splendide reseller/dealer in the United States or Canada, or if the Splendide Product was used (including but not limited to floor models or refurbished products) prior to your purchase, then you are not the First Using Purchaser and the Splendide Product that you purchased is not covered by this Warranty. This Warranty is not transferable.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY
Splendide will repair or replace any part of the Splendide Product which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship when used under normal home-use conditions.
This Warranty applies only to Splendide Products purchased and used in the United States or Canada. Subject to the exclusions below, for Splendide Products purchased in, but used outside, the United States or Canada, this Warranty covers only warranty service within the United States or Canada (and does not include shipping outside the United States or Canada).

This Warranty runs for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase by the First Using Purchaser.

EXCEPT FOR THAT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SPLENDIDE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR SPECIFIC RELIEF.
