IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Read all instructions before using any appliance.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, or spotted in gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, or other flammable/explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing/drying
compartment.
• 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.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• 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 the appliance, turn on all hot-water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and
valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture
occurs.
• Do not reach into appliance if the drum is moving.
• Repair or replacement of a part should be made only by
a qualified service technician to prevent personal injury or
damage to the machine. Contact Splendide to locate an
authorized repair service company near you.
• Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when
installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Follow
basic precaution.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
• Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker or
fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or when
servicing is required. Have the installer show you and label
the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box.
• The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Laundry Powder,
Part No. 1005
About the Dispenser Drawer
Laundry Aid Type / Amounts
Your Splendide requires smaller amounts of laundry
aids to get fabrics clean. Adding too much
detergent wont 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)
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:
4
3
2
1
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)
NOTE: Bleach option available in
cycle 1 (Super) wash ONLY
• Detergent:
1 to 2 TBSP Powder
(or 1 TBSP Liquid)
• Fabric softener:
1to 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.

Washing and drying 17
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 35 to 100 minutes.
• Dry times for average sized loads are 90 to
120 minutes
• Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU
MAY NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is
normal.
• 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,
• DONT OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Keep up with
laundry by doing smaller loads every day or
two.
• DONT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DETERGENT
OR FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS.
• When going from wash-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
18 Washing and drying
Combo laundry FAQ’s
Is using a combination washer-dryer much
dierent 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 dierent 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 aect drying times?
Drying times depend largely on the type of
material (some bers 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.

Care and maintenance
Turning off the water or
electricity supply
Turn off the water supply after every use.. This
will limit the wear of your appliances 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
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 ve 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.
drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it
out. Wash it under running water; repeat as
needed.
Caring for your appliance
