• 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 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.
• Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when
installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Follow
basic precaution.
• Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker or
fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or when
servicicng is required. Have the installer show you and label
the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box.
• The interior of the appliance should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

steel drum and an extra large door opening for easy loading
and unloading. It features 10 wash programs, 7 water temp.
settings, 3 dry programs, and a 1200 RPM max. spin speed.
About Condenser Drying
This appliance dries laundry by heating the laundry inside
the drum to create steam and then cooling the outer drum.
As the steam hits the cooled surface, its condensed back
into water and is pumped out through the drain system.
This process repeats until the clothes are dry. NOTE: This
drying process does not require any outside venting,
however, it does require approx. 5 gallons of COLD water
per your of dry time. Splendides ventless models DO NOT
add moisture or humidity to the surrounding area. All
humidity stays within the unit and is drained as water.
Automatic Dispenser Drawer
Automatically dispenses laundry aids (detergent, bleach,
softener) during the cycle.
More Rinse Cycles
Most washers have only 1 rinse following each wash while
your Splendide washer-dryer has up to 4. It rinses 2-3
times after every wash (except Express Wash) and features
an Extra Rinse button that adds yet another rinse to
remove even more dirt/detergent from fabrics
(recommended for those with detergent contact
allergies).
Foam Removal System
Your machine automatically measures the amount of
foam in circulation and adds water to the drum to remove
excess foam for the highest rinsing performance.
Recirculating Wash Feature
With your Splendide washer-dryer, no detergent is
wasted. Water recirculates and redistributes detergent
throughout the drum in a way that assures all detergent
is dissolved for max. resource efficiency.
Automatic Balance System
Every Splendide washer-dryer incorporates the latest
motor technology. When it detects an out-of-balance
load the motor will adjust speed (or come to a complete
stop) and reposition the load automatically.
Impulse Spin Technology
Your machine features Splendides exclusive IST processor
that varies pulse in low spin for less wrinkling, less wear
on clothing, less noise, less vibration, and improved
energy efficiency.
Extra-Large Door Opening
For easier loading and unloading.
1200 RPM High Spin
For better drying performance.
Extra-Durable
Heavy duty springs, shock absorbers. Stainless steel drum.
Dryer Cool Down
The last few minutes of the dry cycle, your dryer will carry
out a cool down period. Clothing will tumble freely
without heat. This will cool fabric, buttons and snaps for
safe handling and to reduce wrinkling.
Auto Water/Energy Control
Automatically adjusts the amount of water and energy to
use for each load.

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 30 to 96 minutes.
• Dry times for average sized loads are 70 to
120 minutes
• Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU
MAY NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is
normal.
• Once set, the DRY TIME, WATER TEMP and
CYCLE SELECTOR knobs wont move.
• 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 was-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).
18 Washing and drying
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
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.

Sample Load 2
Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time:
70 to 120 min.
1 Flat Sheet (90 x 102 / all 230 thread count)

Care and maintenance
Turning off the water or
electricity supply
Turn off the water supply after every wash. 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
door and drum
When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar
to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
Cleaning the interior
The interior of the machine should be cleaned
periodically by a qualified service technician. Over
time, continual oversudsing can clog up the
condensing chamber and fan blower with lint and
reduce drying efficiency.
20 Care and maintenance
Cleaning the pump
No lint filter to clean
pre-chamber
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require regular maintenance.
However, if small items (such as coins or buttons)
fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump,
you will need to retrieve them.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure
the wash cycle has ended and unplug the
appliance.
Your Splendide removes the lint automatically with
the help of it’s self-cleaning pump, so there’s no lint
filter to clean.
To access the pre-chamber:
1 Using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on
the lower front of the washer-dryer.
2 Place a small dish or tray below the cover.
Unscrew the pre-chamber by rotating it counter
clockwise. A little water may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal.
3 Clean the interior thoroughly.
4 Screw the pre-chamber back on.
5 Reposition the panel, making sure the tabs are
positioned correctly before you push the panel
back onto the appliance.
