IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow
WARNING:
basic precautions, including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer.
■ 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.
■ Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, 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.
■ Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer/dryer is used near children.
Before the washer/dryer is removed from service or
■
discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer
compartments.
■ Do not reach into the washer/dryer if the tub, agitator or
drum is moving.
■ Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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 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 repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in
this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
■ 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.
■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
■ The interior of the machine and dryer exhaust vent should
be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
■ See “Electrical Requirements” section for grounding
instructions.

Checking Your Vent
Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented for the
dryer to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying
times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances
(found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow
of combustion and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions
for more information.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
If the washer/dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not
be covered under the warranty.
NOTE:
Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or selfinstalled.
1.
Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm)
metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal
vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate
exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.
2.
Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
3.
Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.
4.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent
to secure vent.
5.
Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, or when installing your washer/dryer in a
new location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your washer/dryer for
final product check.

Starting Your Washer
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1.
Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Drop a sorted load of
clothes loosely into your washer.
■
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items. Items should move easily through the wash
water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
2.
(OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach.
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Never
use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Follow
manufacturer’s directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load. Add bleach to
the wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour
bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load.
■
Follow directions on the care labels. Do not use chlorine
bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates, or some flameretardant fabrics.
NOTE:
Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches.
The damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and
may not show up until several washings later.
3.
(OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Fabric Softener.
NOTE:
Your washer/dryer does not come with a fabric
softener dispenser installed.
To find out whether your model allows fabric softener
dispenser usage and for ordering information, refer to the front
page of this manual or call the dealer from whom you
purchased your washer/dryer. Ask for Part Number 3350834.
NOTE:
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric
softener with warm water. Too much fabric softener can make
some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this
happens, do not use it in every load, or use less of it in each
load.

4.
Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the
lid open.
5.
Turn the WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your
wash load and the type of fabric being washed. You may
change the load size or water level selection after the washer
has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.
6.
Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water
safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE:
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
7.
Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a
small load size setting. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start
the washer.
