IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• 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.

any servicing unless specifically recommended in the usermaintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• 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 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.

Your New Appliance
Your new appliance is an automatic washer and ventless
tumble dryer by Splendide. Front-loading with a stainless
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, it’s 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. Splendide’s 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.
Auto Water/Energy Control
Automatically adjusts the amount of water and energy to use
for each load.
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 Splendide’s 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.
Low Maintenance
Lint passes safely through a ‘self-cleaning pump’ and then out
the drain or dryer vent - so there’s no messy wash or dry filter
for you to clean.
Safety Door Lock
Protects you from opening the door when it is unsafe.
Express Wash
Washes lightly soiled Cotton Heavy Duty and Permanent Press
fabrics in less time.

Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by
continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the
set frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a
more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside
of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create
too much foam.
Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior
to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach
Preparing the laundry
• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 15 lbs.
Synthetic fabrics: max. 7.5 lbs.
Delicate fabrics: max. 7.5 lbs.
Wool: max. 3.5 lbs
Silk: max. 3.5 lbs
Determining load sizes
Maximum WASH CYCLE capacity - Cottons: 15 lbs,
Synthetics: 7.5 lbs, Silk: 3.5 lbs, Wools: 3.5 lbs
Maximum DRY CYCLE capacity - Cottons: 8 lbs,
Synthetics. 7.5 lbs, Wool: 3.5 lbs.
Always allow space for air to flow around the clothes
when drying. In general, if your drying, don’t fill the drum
more than 1/2 to 3/4 full.
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)
• 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
forheavily/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.

Precautions and advice
! The Washer-dryer was designed and built in compliance with
the applicable international safety regulations. The following
information is provided for your safety and should consequently be read carefully.
General safety
• This appliance has been designed for non professional,
household use and its functions must not be changed.
• This washing machine should only be used by adults and
in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot or with
wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out yourself.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance
is in operation.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high
temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any
accidental openings.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while
in operation.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the wash cycle.
• Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help of two
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading your laundry into the washing machine,
make sure the drum is empty.
• 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 solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar
elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the
drying cycles.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak
before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high
temperatures.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on
the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and
the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and
to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable,
detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural
balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as much as possible.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon
until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce
the electricity board’s peak load. The Delay Timer option
helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select
a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in
your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying
process.
Saving energy and respecting the environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this
is because thanks to the latest Splendide technology, your
washing machine only needs less than half the amount of
water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect
the environment.
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
• To avoid wasting resources, the Washer-dryer should be
used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads
allows you to save up to 50% on energy.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled
garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water
and between 5 and 15% energy.
18 Washing and drying
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 garment.
Splendide laundry tips
• Wash cycles are 42 to 115 minutes.
• Dry times for average sized loads are 150 to 170
minutes
• Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU MAY
NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is normal.
• Once set, CYCLE SELECTOR knob won’t move.
• The door automatically locks during the wash and
dry cycles. To unlock the door, access the drum,
then RESUME the cycle (see “Display”).
For best results,
• DON’T OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Keep up with
laundry by doing smaller loads every day or two.
• DON’T 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).
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
Washing and drying 19
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. 220V), 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-todry’ 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)
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 1
• Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time:
65 min.
• 2-3 Bath Towels (27” x 52” / all 100% cotton)
• 1 Hand Towel (16” x 28”)
• 1-2 Wash Cloth(s) (13” x 13”)
Sample Load 2
• Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time:
55 min.
• 1 Flat Sheet (90” x 102” / all 230 thread count)
• 1 Fitted Sheet (60” x 80”)
• 2 Standard Queen Pillowcases (21” x 32”)
What factors aect drying times?
Drying times affect 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 Load 3
• Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty / Dry Time:
60 min.
• 1 Hand Towel (16” x 28”)
• 1 Pair Jeans (35” waist/32” inseam)
• 1 Sweatshirt (Large, 50% cotton, 50% polyester)
20 Washing and drying
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 appliance’s 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
drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out.
Wash it under running water; repeat as needed.
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.
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.
Caring for your appliance
door and drum
When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odors from forming.

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.
No lint filter to clean
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.
