1. Your Washer-Dryer spins at a high 1000 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.

2. 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 DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND CAUSES LESS WRINKLES.

3. The drum has a capacity of 13 lbs (1.72 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. The 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.

4. The condensing dryer uses cold water 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 for a single load.

1. The unit must be installed on a strong level floor, and in protected, dry, and well-ventilated area close to a power and water supply of sufficient capacity, and a sufficient outlet.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Please read the following steps carefully:

1. Connect the straight end of the hot-water hose to the hot-water faucet (Fig.5)

2. Connect the straight end of the cold-water hose to the cold-water faucet (Fig.5)

3. Connect the L-shaped end of the hot-water hose to the inlet valve marked “H” (Fig.6)

4. Connect the L-shaped end of cold-water hose to the inlet valve marked “C” (Fig.6).

Connect the drain hose to a drain duct (with internal diameter of at least 1.6 inches) 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 hosecan be held in place using the black plastic clamp on the upper part of the back panel (Fig.6)

Height difference between the installation location of the washing machine and the drainage point: Minimum 24″, and Maximum 40″.

• Attach water drain hose to U-Connector.
• Hook the U-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.

To install the vent duct, attach the vent duct 2 into the connector 1(Fig.8).

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.

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″ (30 cm) 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″ (10 cm) 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 3ft. (1m) of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap. If two turns must be closer than 3ft. (1m) deduct 10ft. (3m) from the maximum lengths shown in the table for each occurrence.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90°:

• One turn of 45°or less may be ignored.
• Two 45°turns should be treated as one 90°
• Each turn over 45°should be treated as one 90°.

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.

Duct work which runs through an unheated area or is near an air conditioning duct, should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build up and be sloped down toward outdoors.

NOTE: Never install screen inside exhaust duct.

WARNING: THIS MACHINES MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS WHEN OPERATED IN THE VENTING MODE. THIS IS TO PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF LINT AND MOISTURE FROM ACCUMULATING AND TO MAINTAIN DRYING EFFICIENCY.

In vent dry mode, the exhaust fan and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year
