ALL-IN-ONE WASHER & DRYER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
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:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
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.
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, 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.
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.
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt 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.
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements and installation.
This appliance is not designed to be used by people (including children) with physical, sensory, or mental abilities reduced, or with lack of experience and knowledge, unless it has been given instruction or supervision regarding the use of the appliance.
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. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or by qualified personnel to avoid danger.
New hoses must be used supplied with the appliance, old hoses they must not be reused to avoid danger.
Do not clean your washing machine with flammable substances or liquids.
WARNING: Never stop the Washer-Dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items are removed quickly and spread so that the heat dissipates.
Do not use the drying cycle on clothes without a pre-wash.
Remove all items from pockets such as matches and lighters.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static from clothes unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or the instructions for the product in use.
Do not use heat to dry items that contain foam rubber or similarly textured rubber materials.

ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS
Adding HE detergent to basket:
Single-dose laundry packets, Oxitype boosters, color-safe bleach, or scented crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry. When using single-dose laundry packets, make sure that the Load & Go™ Bulk Dispenser option is disabled (on some models).
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.
Adding liquid chlorine bleach to single-load dispenser:
Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do
not overfill, dilute, or use more than 2⁄3 cup (165 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi in
the same cycle with liquid
chlorine bleach.
IMPORTANT:
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do not guess.
Do not fill beyond the “MAX” line. Overfilling could cause garment damage.
Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when running the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle, as excess suds may occur.
On some models: Do not add liquid chlorine bleach to the bulk dispenser.
Slowly close dispenser drawers. Make sure the drawers are closed completely.
Adding liquid fabric softener to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of liquid 
fabric softener into liquid fabric 
softener compartment. Always 
follow manufacturer’s directions for 
correct amount of fabric softener, 
based on your load size. Disable 
the 1-Liter Load & Go™ dispenser if
not used to dispense detergent.
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than the manufacturer-recommended quantity of fabric softener. Do not fill past the “MAX” line. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into machine.
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this machine. They will not dispense correctly.
Do not use fabric softener sheets, as they can stain the load.
Adding HE detergent to Load & Go™ dispenser (on some models):
Use only High Efficiency (HE) liquid detergents. The bulk dispensers will hold about 67.6 oz. (2 L) or 33.8 oz. (1 L) of liquid HE detergent, depending on dispenser, or enough for many loads of laundry.
To fill bulk dispensers:
Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the base of the machine. If desired, the drawer can be completely removed from the machine.
Locate the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser. Gently pull up on the tab located on the bulk dispenser lid to lift the fill door.
Fill to the “MAX” line (see illustrations at right) with HE liquid detergent or liquid fabric softener (1-liter dispenser only). Close fill door. It will click into place. Make sure the concentration setting is correct (see the online “Cycle Guide”).
It is recommended that you rinse out the Load &
Go™ containers when refilling, when changing detergent types or concentrations, or when the will not be used for an extended period. For
instructions on cleaning the dispenser cartridge, see “All-In-One Washer & Dryer Care” in the “Maintenance and Care” section of your
Owner’s Manual.
When you want the machine to use the Load & Go bulk dispenser for automatic detergent dispensing, make sure that the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser option is enabled (on some models). Also, do not add any detergent to the single-load dispenser.
Adding HE detergent to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent compartment. For powdered detergent, lift the selector to the high position. For liquid detergent, push
down the selector to the low position. 
Do not overfill; adding too much detergent may cause detergent
to be dispensed into the machine too early.
When using single-dose dispenser for detergent, make sure that the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser option is disabled (on some models).
Getting the most out of your All-In-One Washer & Dryer:
Your new machine is configured to run wash & dry cycles by default. You also have the option to run Wash Only cycles or Dry Only cycles. Refer to the Cycle Guide for additional details.
For optimal drying results and to avoid wrinkling of clothes, do not load clothes more than half full. Since this unit uses a ventless drying technology, expect longer dry times compared to a vented dryer.

ALL-IN-ONE WASHER & DRYER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses:
Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
Check that the old rubber seals on water inlet hoses are not stuck on the machine inlet valves.
Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper seal.
All-In-One Washer & Dryer Care
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Machine Clean and Performing at Its Best
1.Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your machine which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.
2.Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes) because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3.Always leave the machine door slightly ajar between uses to help dry out the machine and avoid the buildup of odorcausing residue.
4.Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Your All-In-One Washer & Dryer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This machine maintenance procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your machine. Note that since this is an all-in-one washer & dryer without a lint screen, you may see some more lint accumulation on the door seal than a typical washer.
Cleaning the Door Seal
1.Open the machine door and remove any clothing or items from the machine.
2.Inspect the gray-colored seal between the door opening and the drum for stained areas, soil buildup, or lint. Pull back the seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign objects or lint.
3.If stained areas, soil buildup, or lint are found, wipe down these areas of the seal using either of the following two procedures:
a.Affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipes Procedure:
i.When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with the textured side of an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe.
b.Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:
i.Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm tap water.
ii.Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.
iii.Let stand 5 minutes.
iv.Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let machine interior air dry with door open.
IMPORTANT:
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.
Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
Cleaning the Inside of the All-In-One Washer & Dryer
This machine has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with affresh® Washer Cleaner or regular liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of the machine. Steam models also utilize steam to enhance cleaning in this special cycle.
IMPORTANT: Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when running the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle as excess suds may occur.
NOTE: Read these instructions completely before beginning the cleaning process.

b.Touch POWER to clear the “rL” code.
c.Touch and hold START/PAUSE to restart the cycle.
3.Steam models only: During the first 20 minutes of the cycle, it will activate the steamer but the drum will not spin or fill with water. You may see condensation on the door window during this initial phase. If you are using an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet, it will not dissolve completely during the steam phase. This is normal.
After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to allow for better ventilation and drying of the machine interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After using the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle, you may find some residue buildup in the machine’s dispensers.
To remove residue from the single load dispenser, remove the drawer and wipe the surfaces with an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth and towel dry either before or after you run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
On some models: To remove residue from the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser, lift the handle on the dispenser housing and pull to remove it from the machine cabinet; then rinse the dispenser thoroughly with running water. Wipe the outside dispenser surface with an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth, and towel dry. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Replace the dispenser in the machine cabinet and make sure that it is correctly seated.
NOTE: Dispensers are not dishwasher-safe.
Cleaning the Outside of the All-In-One Washer & Dryer
Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills. Occasionally wipe the outside of your machine to help keep it looking new. Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the machine’s finish, do not use abrasive products.
Clean Washer Cycle Reminder
NOTE: Not all models have the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle reminder light.
The Clean Washer with affresh® LED will flash at the end of a wash cycle when the machine has run 30 wash cycles. This is a reminder to run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle.
If the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle is not performed, the LED will stop flashing at the end of a wash cycle after running three more regular wash cycles. After 30 more wash cycles are completed, the Clean Washer with affresh® LED will again flash at the end of a wash cycle as a reminder.
