Suffocation Hazard ENGLISH

• The height of the standpipe drain or sink rim for the drain hose should be between 2'6" and 3'3" from the bottom of the washer.

• Use the supplied Drain Hose Support Bracket to loop the drain hose down into the wall, standpipe or laundry tub.

• The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (50 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. Wall Standpipe Laundry tub The drain hose shakes as water is being pumped out of the washer. Make sure that the end of the drain hose is secured to the drain or sink. The support bracket has a mounting hole to assist you in doing this.

• Ta k e care to ensure all hose connections are tight. 30” - 39" (76 - 99 cm) 30” - 39" (76 - 99 cm) IMPORTANT: The end of the drain hose cannot be immersed in water for the combination washer / dryer to work properly. ENGLISH11 WATER CONNECTIONS IMPORTANT: Use the new water hoses supplied with the washer. Old hoses should not be used.

1. Check that a flat washer is present and firmly in place in each end of the water

inlet hoses. Flat washers are pre-installed at the factory. NOTE: Do not insert additional washers into the water hoses.

2. Connect the elbow coupling end of the water hoses to the inlet valves on the

washer. Then, connect the straight coupling end to the proper faucet. NOTE: The washer's inlet valves have metric threads. The elbow coupling end of the supplied water hoses have matching metric threads.

3. Connect the cold water faucet to the valve on the washer marked "C" and the hot

water faucet to the valve marked "H". NOTE: Take care not to cross connect the hoses.

4. Check for hose connection leaks by fully opening the faucets. You may have to

use pliers to tighten connections. NOTE: Do not over tighten hoses; this could cause damage to the washing machine's valves. C H Pre-installed Flat Washer

ENGLISHY ADAPTER CONNECTION

If you have a single faucet connection, you can purchase a "Y Adapter" from a hardware store to connect the washer as shown below. IMPORTANT: This machine dries clothes with condensing drying technology. The condenser relies on cold water to function. If hot or warm water is supplied to the "C" valve, the dryer will not work and damage can occur to components of the washing machine.

NOTE: Make sure that only cold water is turned on while using the dryer function. Water Inlet Valves Water Supply Hose Y Adapter Drain Hose Support Bracket Drain Hose SINK ENGLISH• The washer is equipped with a power cord that has a 3 prong plug. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power cord.

• The power cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, contacted a licensed electrician to have one installed.

• Do not use a 3 prong plug adapter.

• If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, contact a licensed electrician.

• Do not use an extension cord. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS WARNING WARNING

• If the electric supply provided does not meet the above requirements, contact a licensed electrician. Risk of injury or death from electric shock. The washer must be connected to a properly grounded 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 Amp, fused electrical supply. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Electrical Shock Hazard Risk of injury or death from electric shock. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape route for the electrical current. Electrical Shock Hazard ENGLISH

SORTING AND PREPARATION

• Separate whites, darks, light colors and non-colorfast garments.

• Separate items that produce lint (flannel, fleece and towels) from items that collect lint (knits, corduroy and synthetic fabrics).

• Sort by fabric type (cottons, permanent press and delicate) and by the amount of soil.

• Close zippers, snaps and hooks.

• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

• Remove pins or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.

• Repair loose seams and minor tears.

• Pre-treat spots, stains and heavily soiled areas. LOADING

• Load each garment loosely; do not place folded items into the washer.

• Do not overload the washer.

• Close the door properly after loading clothes. Take care to ensure that garments are not caught in the gasket. IMPORTANT: If you intend to use the Drying option , load the washer only half full with clothes. Do not completely fill the washer with a full load. Clothes must have room to tumble freely in the drum.

ENGLISH Half LoadPREWASH COMPARTMENT If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent in both the prewash and main wash compartments. The compartment will be flushed with water during the prewash. IMPORTANT: Liquid detergent poured into the main wash compartment will immediately flow into the wash drum and be used during the prewash.

The dispenser drawer is located in the upper left corner of the washer. Open the drawer by pulling it straight out. There are three separate compartments for loading detergent and fabric softener. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent. ENGLISH

MAIN WASH COMPARTMENT

If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent, otherwise liquid HE detergent can be used. The compartment will be flushed with water during the wash cycle.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

Use liquid fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer. However, do not exceed the max fill mark shown in the compartment. This is necessary to ensure complete flushing during the final rinse and to avoid overflow in the dispenser drawer. IMPORTANT: The dispenser is designed to work only with liquid fabric softener. Do not use powdered fabric softener; it will clog the dispenser by not completely dissolving. DETERGENT Use only High Efficiency detergent. HE detergents are specifically formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too many soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of detergent residue from clothes. Washer performance will be diminished by soap build up and damage can occur if soap suds get into areas of the machine like the condensing dryer compartment. IMPORTANT: Use only powdered HE detergent when both the Prewash and Main Wash compartments are used. Liquid detergent immediately flows into the wash drum and both amounts would be used during the first wash program.NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer. DRYING METHODS

SORTING AND LOADING CLOTHES

• Separate heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics.

• Separate items that produce lint (flannel, fleece and towels) from items that collect lint (knits, corduroy and synthetic fabrics).

• Sort by fabric type (cottons, permanent press and delicates)

• Permanent press items should be dried together with enough space to tumble freely. Promptly remove garments from the dryer and fold or hang right away. To reduce the risk of fire, do not dry items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials. IMPORTANT: Load the machine half-full with clothes. Do not completely fill the drum with a full load. Clothes must have room to tumble freely in the drum. WARNING

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Use a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning control panel. To avoid any kind of damage to cabinet finish, wipe appliance cabinet as needed. If you spill liquid/powdered softener, bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe cabinet immediately because it can damage the finish. Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance. The Detergent Dispenser Compartment has a removable insert. Over time, this compartment may accumulate dried detergent, dirt and debris. You must remove the insert, then rinse in a sink or remove debris with a soft brush. Risk of injury or death due to electric shock. Always unplug your appliance before cleaning.
