ADispenser 1

This dispenser holds 33.8 oz (1000 mL) of liquid HE detergent for your main wash cycle, and automatically dispenses liquid detergent at the optimum time in the cycle.

BDispenser 2

This dispenser holds 16.9 oz (500 mL) of liquid fabric softener. It automatically dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle. This dispenser may

instead be used as a second liquid HE detergent dispenser. See Step 11 on page 13 for information.

IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine bleach in this washer/dryer, and do not use powdered detergent in the Load & Gobulk dispenser. Powdered detergent must be added to the drum prior to adding laundry. See “Using the All-In-One Washer/Dryer.”

Cycle Guides

You can use this washer/dryer to wash only, dry only, or wash and dry. This washer/dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best wash cycle for your load. The “What to Wash/How to Wash” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:

First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to wash. Use that to guide your “What to Wash” selection. Then determine how you want the washer to wash them and select the appropriate “How to Wash” selection. Selecting “What to Wash” will automatically select a default “How to Wash selection,” so selecting a “How to Wash” is optional. See chart below for more details.

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that wash cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle, options, and settings that best fit the load being washed. Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product instructions. Avoid tightly packing the washer/dryer. The washer/dryer will not rinse well or spin correctly if tightly packed. Loading the drum half full or less will improve washing and drying performance and cycle time. Not all settings are available with each cycle, and some options cannot be used together.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent

will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

About Detergent Concentration

Today’s liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration on the bottle.

However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration, it can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in fluid ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below to find the concentration.

Set the concentration level setting on the washer by using the Tools button (see Step 11 on page 13). If you do not get your desired cleaning results, set the concentration level to a lower concentration number. If you have excess suds, set the concentration level to a higher concentration number.

Concentration

Using the Load & GoBulk Dispenser

Follow the steps below to fill the Load & Gobulk dispenser when using the washer for the first time, or when the low detergent icon or low fabric softener icon on the display indicate that the detergent or fabric softener level is running low.

1. Open the bulk container lid on the top of the washer/dryer.

2.Lift the fill door on the Liquid Detergent dispenser (Dispenser 1). Add liquid HE detergent up to the “MAX”

line. Do not overfill. Close the fill door. It will click into place. NOTE: If Dispenser 1 is empty, you may choose to add only enough liquid HE detergent for one load.

3.Lift the fill door on the Liquid Fabric Softener dispenser (Dispenser 2). Add liquid fabric softener up to the “MAX” line. Do not overfill. Close the fill door. It will click into place. NOTE: If Dispenser 2 is empty, you may choose to add only enough liquid fabric softener for one load.

4.Slowly close the bulk container lid. Make sure it is completely closed.

5.Make sure that the bulk dispenser is active. Use

the Tools button to make sure that both Dispenser 1 and Dispenser 2 are active and that the detergent concentration is correct. See Step 11 on page 13.

NOTES:

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

nDispenser 2 may be used as a second Liquid HE Detergent dispenser. Use the Tools button (go to “Load & GoDispenser 2”) to change the content in Dispenser 2 and set the detergent concentration. Make sure that the other dispenser is disabled.

nThe entire Load & Gobulk container can be easily removed for ease of cleaning.

nThoroughly clean the Liquid Detergent dispenser (Dispenser 1) before switching to a different brand of detergent.

nThoroughly clean the Liquid Fabric Softener dispenser (Dispenser 2) before switching from liquid fabric softener to liquid detergent, before switching back from liquid detergent to liquid fabric softener, or before switching to a different brand of detergent.

IMPORTANT:

 

n Do not use chlorine bleach in this

Chlorine

washer/dryer. Chlorine bleach will

Bleach

damage it.

 

nDo not add a single-dose laundry packet to the bulk dispenser.

nDo not use powdered HE detergent in the bulk dispenser.

Using the All-In-One Washer/Dryer

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, set up the Load & Gobulk dispenser (see page 9). Choose the Regular (What to Wash) and Quick (How to Wash) cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean and the bulk dispenser is primed and ready for use before washing clothes.

If using liquid HE detergent in both Dispenser 1 and Dispenser 2, you will need to run a second cycle without laundry as indicated above to prime Dispenser 2 and clean the interior. Using the Tools button, make sure that Dispenser 1 is disabled when priming Dispenser 2 for detergent.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,

and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on an inside seam.

IMPORTANT:

nEmpty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can plug pumps and may require a service call.

nClose zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

nMend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

nTurn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

nDo not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.

nAlways read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your garments.

2. If desired, instead of liquid detergent, add powdered HE detergent and/or laundry products

Powdered HE detergent, single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, or scented crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry. Make sure that the Load & Gobulk dispenser is disabled or off (see Step 11 on page 13), and skip Step 4 when using powdered HE detergent or single-dose laundry packets.

NOTES:

nAlways follow manufacturer’s instructions.

nDo not use chlorine bleach.

3.Load laundry into washer/dryer

Place a load of sorted items loosely in the washer/dryer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. If using the drying option, loading the drum half full or less and not interrupting the drying cycle by opening the door will improve drying performance and cycle time. Close the washer/dryer door by pushing it firmly until the latch clicks.

nMix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.

nWash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

4. Add liquid HE detergent to Load & Gobulk dispenser (if bulk dispenser is not already loaded or if low detergent icon on display is lit), if desired

6. Touch POWER button to turn on washer/dryer

See page 9 for instructions on how to fill the liquid detergent bulk dispenser (Dispenser 1). Press the TOOLS button and make sure that the bulk dispenser is active. See Step 11 on page 13.

All-In-One Washer/Dryer Maintenance

CLEANING THE WASHER/DRYER LOCATION

Keep washer/dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the washer/dryer.

WASHER/DRYER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer/Dryer 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 washer, 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 washer/dryer door slightly ajar between uses to help dry out the washer/dryer and avoid the buildup of odor-causing residue.

4.Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the glass window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the glass door with a damp cloth.

Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer/Dryer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer/dryer.

Cleaning the Door Seal

1.Open the washer/dryer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer/dryer.

2.Inspect the seal between the door opening and the drum for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign objects.

3.If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down these areas of the seal using the following procedure:

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.

WASHER/DRYER CARE (cont.)

Electrical Requirements – U.S.A. Only

It is your responsibility:

■■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.

■■ To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70 – latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

■■ To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30 amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. Connect to an individual branch

circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. ■■ Do not use an extension cord.

■■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your washer/dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

■■ This washer/dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. A neutral ground

conductor (white wire) is provided between the power supply neutral connection (center terminal) and the washer/dryer external grounding point (green screw). If the washer/dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, one end of the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center screw) of the terminal block. When both ends of the neutral ground conductor are secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the washer/dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor. The green ground wire of the 4-wire power cord must be secured to the washer/dryer cabinet with the green ground screw.

■■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional External Ground 3-wire connection.”

■■ A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations after 1996, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and

(4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

Power supply cord

Use a UL Listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

■■ A UL Listed 30 amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) long. The wires that connect to

the washer/dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

If your outlet looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with

Electrical Requirements –

Canada Only

It is your responsibility:

■■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.

■■ To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1 – latest edition and all local codes. A copy of the above codes standard may be obtained from: Canadian Standards Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3 CANADA.

■■ To supply the required 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply on a separate 30 amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse

or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit.

■■ This washer/dryer is equipped with a CSA International Certified Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-30R wall receptacle. The cord is 5 ft. (1.5 m) in length. Be sure wall receptacle is within reach of washer/dryer’s final location.

■■ Do not use an extension cord.

If using a replacement power supply cord, it is recommended that you use Power Supply Cord Replacement Part Number 8579325. For further information, please reference the “Assistance or Service” section.

Electrical Installation – U.S.A. Only

Before you start: disconnect power.

1. Choose electrical connection type

Power supply cord 4-wire receptacle (NEMA-Type 14-30R):

Go to “Power Supply Cord Connection.”

Power supply cord 3-wire receptacle (NEMA Type 10-30R):

Go to “Power Supply Cord Connection.”

NOTE: If local codes do not permit connection of a cabinet-ground conductor to neutral wire, go to “Optional External Ground for 3-Wire Connection.”

2. Remove terminal block cover

Power Supply Cord Connection

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a new UL listed 30 amp power supply cord. Use a UL listed strain relief.

Disconnect power before making electrical connections.

Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal.

Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector.

Connect remaining 2 supply wires to remaining 2 terminals.

Securely tighten all electrical connections.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

4-Wire Power Supply Cord Strain Relief:

IMPORTANT: Use the strain relief supplied with the washer/dryer.

Attach power supply cord to strain relief
