WHAT IS A COMBINATION
Technical Data
WASHER AND DRYER PRODUCT?
The Eurotech combination washer and dryer product is
a “unique laundry solution” for households that can not
accommodate traditional laundry products. The large
capacity tub provides an impressive 15 lb (Full Load) wash
capacity or 7.5 lb (Half Load) drying capacity. This laundry
solution provides the customer with the convenience of a
120V in-house laundry product that is designed to wash and
dry smaller loads of laundry on a regular basis.
Our washer and dryer combination product utilizes a
condenser dryer technology (vent-less) allowing for
seamless wash to dry performance without the need
for special electrical requirements or an external vent.
These features make this product convenient for multiple
applications where traditional laundry solutions (separate
washer and dryer requiring 220V electrical) will not
operate. This product features a large 2.5 cubic foot drum
(largest in its class) which features more capacity for wash
AND dry performance. Keep in mind it uses a standard
household current which limits the wattage available for the
dry performance, which results in longer total cycle times
(3-4 hours). The 1200 RPM spin provides the maximum
moisture removal to reduce the drying times along with the
Heavy Stain cycles that provides a 140 degree temperature
boost for improved stain removal.

Installation Requirements
Location
The washer/dryer can be installed as a freestanding unit or in a recessed
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be properly grounded. In the event
of breakdown or malfunction, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. The cord for this appliance has
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the electrical
plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the
electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician install a
proper outlet. Make sure the power supply and electrical
outlet support a 110/120V, 15 amp single-phase
circuit.
Warning!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in
electric shock. If you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded, check with a qualified electrician or service representative.
area, under a counter or in a closet with appropriate clearance. See page 4.
FILL/DRAIN HOSES
Fill Hoses – Two hoses are supplied with the machine. The hot water hose
has a red stripe running the length of the hose.
Drain Hose – Drain outlet should be between 23” (60 cm) and 35” (90
cm) above the floor. To prevent siphoning, do not seal the drain hose
connection into the drain outlet. If machine is not connected to a drain
outlet, position drain hose and bracket over the edge of sink or wash basin
and secure in place before draining. See page 5 for complete installation
instructions for the fill and drain hoses.
Eurotech denies all liability if installation use and care instructions are not
followed completely.

of fire, electric shock, property damage, personal injury or
loss of life
• Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• Do not run washer/dryer while you are not at home.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, cooking oils or other
flammable or explosive substances, because they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in washer / dryer. Supervise children
whenever appliance is in use.
• Before removing appliance from service or discarding appliance, remove the
door to washing/drying compartment.
• Do not reach into appliance while drum is moving.

specifically recommended in the user instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and are qualified to carry out. Call Eurotech
to locate a qualified repair technician near you.
• Do not add dry cleaning solvents, gasoline or other flammable or explosive
substances to the wash water. These substances give off harmful vapors that
