IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Combo Washer@ Dryer has been built in compliance with safety regulation to protect you and 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:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances, as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
- Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
- Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is moving.
- Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- 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.
- 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 or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated Hydrogen.
- Do not use fabric softeners or products to reduce static unless recommended by the manufacturers of the fabric softener product.
- Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
- Check the Coin Trap every few months to remove any coins, buttons or similar size objects.
- For vented washer-dryers keep the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
- Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Item contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
- To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
HELPFUL HINTS
-
Your Washer® Dryer spins at a high 1400 rpm spin speed, which will extract more water especially from absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into the drying mode. This will cut down on your drying time.
-
FABRIC SOFTENER: After the wash cycle, the clothes can get stuck to the sides of the drum.
USING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER WILL CAUSE THE CLOTHES TO UNSTICK IMMEDIATELY AND TUMBLE IN THE DRY CYCLE. THIS HELPS TO DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND CAUSES LESS WRINKLES. -
OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 19 lbs. The drum should be loaded only to 2/3 of its capacity otherwise it reduces air flow and causes increase in dry time.
-
DRYING:
A) Condensing – Since there is no external exhaust system, the moisture content remains in the machine. Frequently when it seems the clothes are damp, it is actually the remaining moisture (like dew). Take clothes out and they will dry within a few minutes.
B) Venting – It uses hot air to dry the clothes. -
USE HIGH EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT: By using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, you are preventing suds from entering the condensing chamber. When suds enter the condensing chamber, the particles can clog up the chamber and the fan blower. Over time, this reduces drying efficiency and may require the fan blower (impeller) to be cleaned. For this and all other front -loading/horizontal-axis units, Front Loading detergents go a long way to improve the efficiency of the units.
-
SORTING: 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 your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry you may be overloading the machine, or washing too many highly absorbent articles in a single load.
PRE-INSTALLATION
-
The unit must be installed on a strong levelled surface in a protected, dry and well-ventilated area, with a power and water supply of sufficient capacity and a sufficient outlet in close proximity.
-
Installation on Carpet or Wood increases vibrations.
• Carpets – place on light carpet only.
• Wood – brace floor with screws and place additional sheets of plywood before installation. -
This unit’s installation and grounding should be done in accordance with local codes by a qualified installer. “Installation Instructions” are included in this manual for the Installer’s reference.
-
The unit should be plugged into a properly grounded three (3) prong electrical outlet of 110V/60Hz with minimum 15 Amps, It should not be controlled by a wall switch or pull cord which might be turned off accidentally.

PLUMBING
CONNECTING TO THE WATER FAUCET
CONNECTING TO THE MACHINE
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that they are not crushed.
(Fig .6)
After connecting inlet hose to water tap, turn on the water taps to flush out foreign NOTE substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket and check the water temperature.
After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
Connect the drain hose to a drain duct (with internal diameter of at least
1.6″) or place it for drainage in to a sink or a tub, ensuring that there are
no kinks or bends. The free end must be at a height of 24″ – 40″ from the
floor. The hose can be held in place using the white plastic clamp on the
upper part of the back panel.
Height difference between the installation location of the washing machine and the drainage point: Minimum 24″ to Maximum 40″
– Attach water drain hose to Li-Connector.
– Hook the LI-Connector over the side or stand pipe (Fig 7.)
– When the water is being drained, check that the water flow out of the hose
is adequate.
WARNINGS
MAXIMUM LENGTH OF THE VENT HOSE IS 10 FEET WITH THE 0.5 AMPS ORIGINAL EXHAUST
FAN. USING LONGER VENT HOSE MAY DAMAGE INTERNAL COMPONENTS. FOR LONGER VENT
HOSE USE 1.5 AMPS EXHAUST FAN, WHICH IS AVAILABLE AS AN ACCESSORY.
DUE TO RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METALLIC DUCT (RIGID OR FLEXIBLE).
Never use flexible duct inside the dryer.
Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, range hood, gas vent, floor or attic.
The combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard or damages.
Provide an access for inspection and cleaning the exhaust system at least once
a year.
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST HOOD OR WALL CAP
Terminate in a manner to prevent back drain or entry of birds or other
wildlife.
Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow and
should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
Wall caps must be installed at least 12″ above ground level or any other
obstruction with the opening pointed down.
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 4″
dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow. Prevention of back
drafts and regular maintenance are required to prevent clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Separate all turns by at least 3 feet (1 meter) of straight duct, including
distance between last turn and dampened wall cap. If two turns must be closer
than 3 feet (1 meter) deduct 10 feet (3 meters) from the maximum length.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90°
One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
Two 45° turns should be treated as one go0 •
Each turn over 45° should be treated as one go 0•
For each go0 turn, deduct 33 feet (10 meters) from maximum length.
SEALING OF JOINTS
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of
duct must point away from the dryer.
Do not assemble the duct work with fasteners that extend into the duct. They
will serve as a collection point for lint.
Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped
joints with duct tape.
