INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new Super Combo. In addition to its contemporary d esign,

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 Combo

7. Energy Savings

This appliance is engineered to provide valuable energy savings when compared to
other washer-dryers.

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.

6.

This appliance uses very little water for washing and drying and far less than a
standard full-size top-loading washer.

1. Improved Operation

With a high spin speed, 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.

5. Better Clothing Appearance

-Dryer has no agitator to damage your clothes so they look better and last

longer.

4. Placement Options

- es it a perfect appliance for any Kitchen or

-Dryer perfect for placement on

each floor of your home.

2. Easy Operation

This appliance is simple to use as a washer or as a dryer – or it can go seamlessly from
wash to the dry functions.

9. Space Savings

By combining the two functions of washer and dryer in one unit, the space taken for the
second unit, i.e. separate dryer, is saved.

Your safety and that of your children

Your Combo Washer-Dryer has been built in compliance with safety regulations,

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when

using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

SAFETY

1. Your Washer-Dryer spins at a high 1000 rpm spin speed, which will extract more water

especially f r o m absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into

the drying mode.

This will cut down on your drying time.

6. 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
for a single load.

2. FABRIC SOFTENER: After the wash cycle, the clothes can get stuck to the sides of the drum.
USING LIQUID FABRIC
AND TUMBLE IN THE DRY CYCLE. THIS HELPS DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND CAUSES LESS
WRINKLES.

3. OVERLOADING: 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.
drum should not be overloaded. With too many clothes, airflow is r e d uced, increasing drying time.
The drum should be filled to a maximum 2/3

rd

full.

4. 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 m achine.
Frequently, when it seems the clothes are damp, it is actually the remaining moisture (like d e w). Take
clothes out and within a few minutes they will be dry. Do not over -dry the clothes. The exhaust system

5. USE HIGH EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT: By using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, you are
preventing suds from entering the condensing chamber . When suds enter the c o ndensing

chamber, tlhe particles can clog up the chamber and the fan blower. O v er time, this reduces

drying efficiency and may require the fan blower (impeller) to be c l e a ned. 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.

uses air-dry.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR DRYER EFFICIENCY

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.

• Carpets – place on light carpet only.

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.
