Optional
• All-Natural, HE detergent formulated for your washer-dryer
- Softens fabrics naturally
While not required, Splendide recommends the use of a High Efficiency (HE) detergent. HE detergents are quick dissolving and low sudsing and will deliver optimum results in your front-loading machine.
Splendide Premium Laundry Powder, Part No. 1005
About the Dispenser Drawer
Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser drawer has three compartments (plus one removable bin) for adding laundry products to the wash load. These compartments are:
1 PreWash Detergent (With Bleach Bin removed)
2 Detergent for the Wash Cycle (Powder or Liquid)
3 Fabric Softener (Liquid)
4 Bleach (With Bleach Bin in place)
Laundry Aid Type / Amounts
Your Splendide requires smaller amounts of laundry aids to get fabrics clean. Adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on your clothes and inside your appliance and even pollute the environment. Recommended laundry aid amounts per wash load:
- Prewash detergent (Optional):
1 to 2 TBSP Powder
(or 1 TBSP Liquid)
- Detergent:
1 to 2 TBSP Powder
(or 1 TBSP Liquid)
- Fabric softener:
1 to 2 TBSP (Liquid ONLY)
- Bleach (Optional):
DO NOT exceed the MAX fill line
IMPORTANT: Adjust laundry aid amounts for heavily/lightly soiled loads, or hard/soft water. NEVER EXCEED the recommended amounts of detergent or fabric softener. Doing so could impair wash results and cause damage to the internal parts of your machine!
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS!
WARNING! Always dilute bleach before using. Never overfill bleach dispenser. Excess bleach could damage clothes.
IMPORTANT: The suds level should never rise more than half way up to the porthole. Too much foam will rise through the dispenser and make a mess on your floor
IMPORTANT: Using fabric softener causes items to release from the drum immediately after high-speed spin, helping clothes to dry faster while minimizing wrinkling and softening fabrics. NOTE: Splendide recommends using 1 to 2 tbsp. of a bio-friendly, or similar brand per wash load. These softeners tend to appear light in color and dissolve more quickly in less water, minimizing build-up within your machine.

Combine large and small items in one full load. When washing single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans, add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load. Single, heavy items such as a bathrobe can be washed separately.
Do not wash rugs that could come apart and clog your machine.
For more delicate garments protect underwear, tights, stockings and other small or delicate items by placing them in a mesh laundry pouch while washing and drying.
When using the 'Wool' cycle, for best results, use a detergent that is for wool garments, taking care not to wash more than 2.2 lbs.
Splendide laundry tips
• Wash cycles are 30 to 96 minutes.
- Dry times for average sized loads are 60 to 80 minutes
- Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU MAY NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is normal.
- Once set, the DRY TIME, WATER TEMP and CYCLE SELECTOR knobs won't move.
- The door automatically locks during the wash and dry cycles. To unlock the door, access the drum, then RESUME the cycle, see DOOR LOCK LED on page 13.
For best results,
- DON'T OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Keep up with laundry by doing smaller loads every day or two.
- DON'T EXCEED RECOMMENDED DETERGENT OR FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS.
- When going from 'was-to-dry' automatically, Always use a fabric softener (Or a Detergent with built-in softeners) so clothes release from the drum after the high speed spin.
- ONLY use 'Cotton Heavy Duty' for heavy cottons (towels, jeans, etc.)
- For items that may wrinkle, use 'Low Spin' in wash and 'Synthetics Dry'
- To further prevent wrinkles, set a 'wash ONLY' cycle with 'LOW SPIN' pressed. After the wash cycle ends, remove large items (pants, sheets, etc.) from the drum and shake them out. Loosely fold them and place them back in the drum. Then set a 'Synthetics Dry' cycle with 'LOW HEAT' pressed.
- For mixed DRY CYCLE loads, remove items that may wrinkle while still damp (dress shirts, etc.) Hand press and hang them. Then, continue drying the rest (underwear, towels, etc.)
- NEVER OVER DRY LAUNDRY. Over drying is a major cause of wrinkling. A certain amount of humidity is what makes fabrics soft and fluffy.
WARNING!
During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.
Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been washed with flammable or chemical solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).
This appliance can only be used to dry clothes that have been pre-washed in water.
Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar materials
Combo laundry FAQ's
Is using a combination washer-dryer much different than what I'm use to?
Yes, in some ways. You are washing and drying in the same drum and load sizes are smaller. Wash cycles are similar, but because combination washer-dryers are compact and operate using 115V (vs. 230V), dry times are longer. Instead of washing several, bulky loads of laundry in one day, you'll learn to adjust your laundry habits to launder smaller, more convenient loads every day or two.
Why do I need to load my drum less full for 'dry' and 'wash-to-dry' cycles?
Your machine can wash larger loads than it can dry. Remember, separate washers and dryers have drums of different sizes (the dryer drum is usually 2 times bigger), and your machine washes and dries in the same drum. When you program your machine to 'dry' or 'wash-to-dry' you must load the drum no more than 1/2 to 3/4 full. (NOTE: Automatic wash-to-dry not available when Silk is selected)
What factors affect drying times?
Drying times depend largely on the type of material (some fibers absorb more water than others), and the dampness of the articles when drying is started (1200 RPM spin vs. 800-600 RPM spin), and on the amount of laundry that is being dried. Jeans, towels and similar (rather thick) articles will take longer to dry.
Sample wash-to-dry loads
To get you started, here are a few sample load sizes that can go directly from wash through dry. NOTE: Data purely indicative. Actual drying times will vary depending on type/weight of material.
Sample Load 1
- Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time: 65 min.
• 2-3 Bath Towels (27" x 52" / all 100% cotton)
• 1 Hand Towel (16" x 28")
• 1-2 Wash Cloth(s) (13" x 13")
Sample Load 2
- Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time: 55 min.
• 1 Flat Sheet (90" x 102" / all 230 thread count)
• 1 Fitted Sheet (60" x 80")
• 2 Standard Queen Pillowcases (21" x 32")
Sample Load 3

• 1 Hand Towel (16" x 28")
• 1 Pair Jeans (35" waist/32" inseam)
• 1 Sweatshirt (Large, 50% cotton, 50% polyester)
Turning off the water or electricity supply
Turn off the water supply after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it, while on vacation and during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out. Wash it under running water; repeat as needed.
Caring for your appliance door and drum
When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
Checking the water inlet hoses
Check the water inlet hoses at least once a year. Clean the filters and the water valves. If you see any cracks, bulges or wear, replace hoses immediately; During the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
WARNING! Never use inlet hoses that have already been used.
IMPORTANT: Replace the inlet hoses at least every five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. When replacing the inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
Cleaning the pump pre-chamber
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require regular maintenance. However, if small items (such as coins or buttons) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, you will need to retrieve them.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

3 Clean the interior thoroughly.
4 Screw the pre-chamber back on.
5 Reposition the panel, making sure the tabs are positioned correctly before you push the panel back onto the appliance.
No lint filter to clean
Your Splendide removes the lint automatically with the help of it's self-cleaning pump, so there's no lint filter to clean. However, it is recommended that you occasionally inspect the outside vent and dryer ducting for any lint accumulation (see below).
Checking the dryer vent
Occasionally go outside and check the dryer vent for proper airflow. Assure that the vent and ducting are lint-free.
