INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new Washer. In addition to its contemporary design, this is a highly sophisticated engineered product that will give you many years of satisfaction.

Here are some of the best reasons for buying your Washer

1. Easy Operation

This appliance is simple to use as a washer.

2. Improved Operation

With a high spin speed of 1200 rpm, more water is extracted, allowing improved dry times.

3. Convenience

This appliance can be permanently installed and be made portable with the installation of the portability kit (sold separately) where needed.

4. Placement Options

The Washer's sleek design makes it a perfect appliance for any kitchen or laundry room. Its compact size makes the Washer perfect for placement on each floor of your home.

5. Better Clothing Appearance

This Washer has no agitator to damage your clothes so they look better and last longer.

6. Water Savings

This appliance uses very little water for washing and far less than a standard full size top-loading washer. A new feature introduced is automatic water level which helps in saving water as it automatically decides the water intake depending on the quantity of your clothes.

7. Energy Savings

This appliance is engineered to provide valuable energy savings when compared to other washers

8. Maintenance

Since the machine has a self-cleaning pump, this appliance needs no cleaning of lint after drying. Instead, there is a convenient coin trap.

9. Space Savings

The washer is of optimum size thus saving previous space around your home.

10. Add a sock

In this feature, the program can be stopped at any time to add forgotten items to the wash. Press PAUSE for 5 seconds. Door will open after draining water so that it does not overflow. Load clothes. Close door. Press the START button. Washer will continue from the point it stopped.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your safety and that of your children

Your washing machine has been built in compliance with safety regulations, to protect you and all 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:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. 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.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to reduce static unless recommended by the manufacturers of the fabric softener product.
12. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
13. Check the Coin Trap every few months to remove any coins, buttons or similar size objects.
14. For vented washer-dryers keep the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
15. 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.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR WASHER EFFICIENCY

1. FABRIC SOFTENER: After the wash cycle, the clothes can get stuck to the sides of the drum. USING LIQUID FABRICSOFTENER WILL CAUSE THE CLOTHES TO UNSTICK IMMEDIATELY AND TUMBLE IN THE DRYCYCLE. THIS HELPS DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND CAUSES LESS WRINKLES
2. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 13 lbs (1.57 cu. ft.) While this unit has one of the largest drum available on any combination washer-dryer, it is smaller than a standard U.S. washer. drum should not be overloaded. With too many clothes, airflow is reduced, increasing drying time. The drum should be filled to a maximum 2/3^rd full.
3. OVER DRYING: The condensing dryer uses cold water is used to condense the moisture from the hot air. Since there is no external exhaust system, the moisture remains in the machine. Frequently, when it seems the clothes are damp, it is actually the remaining moisture (like dew). Take clothes out and within a few minutes they will be dry. Do not over dry the clothes. The exhaust system uses air-dry.
4. 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, High Efficiency (HE) detergents go a long way to improve the efficiency of the units.
5. SORTING: When sorting laundryalways 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 for a single load.
