This appliance was tested by UL
and conforms with both Canadian
and U.S. UL safety requirements
and displays their Mark.
Your Washer Dryer features three different speeds during
the wash cycle. During the Cotton cycle the drum spins at
1,200 or 800 rpm depending on how you set it. During
Permanent Press the drum spins at 850 rpm. During
delicates, the drum spins at 500 rpm. When drying heavy
cotton articles such as bath towels or jeans, be sure the
"Regular" washer setting is selected. The faster spinning
will extract more water from these highly absorbent fabrics
and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes
into the drying mode. This will cut down on your drying
time.
Use Liquid Fabric Softener. Firththe softener compartment

This Washer Dryer is a 110 VoHtmachine, so the heating

220 voHtunit requires. The heating eHementwiHHtake about
10 minutes to reach fuHHheat.
i
To dry your taundry, the Washer Dryer bHowsheated air
into the rotating drum. As the drum tumbHes your laundry,
the warm air dries it. Hfthe drum is overfiHHedwith laundry,
the air is not aHHowedto circuHate and cHothes wiHHnot dry
properly.
Use Low sudsing Detergent. This is recommended for aHH
front Hoadingwashers. Htensures there is no over sudsing,
which may reduce the performance of your machine. AHso,
this prevents damage to your machine which may be caused
by excess suds entering the condensing chamber and
dogging the fan Mower mechanism with Hint.
When sorting taundry always take into consideration the
quantity and type of fabric contained in the load. Highly
absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans
will absorb more water and become very heavy when
saturated, if you notice that your clothes are taking longer
than usual to dry you may be overloading the machine, or
washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load.

What goes in your washer-dryer ?
Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your
garments according to fabric and color. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.
LAUNDRY PREPARATION
Sorting
Clothes should be sorted from separate items which could
damage other garments. Sort items into loads according to
similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of
soil.
- Color. Separate clothes into three groups: whites and pastels,
medium and bright colors and dark colors. Items which bleed
color should be washed alone.
- Type of fabrics. Delicate items should be separated from
sturdier items. Fabrics that shed lint should be separated
from those which shed none or attract lint.
- Garment constructions. Garments that may fray easily or
that have unusual trim require gentle care. These garments
may be washed in the loader using the knit cycle. If garments
are fragile and delicate, hand washing may be desirable.
- Degree of soil. Heavily soiled items should be separated
from the rest of the wash to prevent transfer of soil inthe wash
water.
Inspection
While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each
garment to see if it requires special care.
- Remove stains, while they arefresh and easy toget out. Try
cold water firstto remove unknown stains. Hot water sets stains
containing protein such as blood, egg, meat and milk.Toremove
difficult stains, refer to the removal Chart at the end of the
manual.
- Pretreat heavily soiled areas such as collars, cuffs and
centers of pillowcases. Refer to the "Pretreating" section for
specific instructions.
-Mend rips and tears, before washing, so further damage is
not done to garments.
- Empty pockets. Objects left in pockets such as crayon,
pens or markers, or tobacco crumbs may stain an entire wash
load. Paper tissues will shred leaving bits on each item in the
washer. Remove coins and other foreign objects to prevent
damage to the machine.
- Fasten all hooks, zippers and buttons.
- Turn knit garments wrong side out to reduce the tendency
of knits to "pill". Fabric "pills" are balls of fibers on the surface
the garments caused by wear or friction.
- Remove loose dirt and sand. Brush dirt from trouser cuffs;
shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose surface soil.
- If buckle is washable, place a scrap of material securely
around the ornament before washing and drying to prevent
scratching and damage tothe machine. Remove non-washable
trims, buckles, buttons and belts.
- Tie strings, belts and apron sashes into bows to avoid
tangling during washing.
Pretreating
Pretreat heavily soiled areas such as collars, cuffs and center
of pillowcases by using a prewash spray, or brushing liquid
detergent or a laundry detergent or a laundry detergent and
water paste over the areas before washing.

Referto the Stain RemovaUChart fortreatment ofspecific stains.
ifan entire item isheavily soiled or very stained, itmay be both

removed, Old detergenttrapped inthegarments will be released
during the tumble action wash cycle,
For quantities of detergent to be used, refer to the detergent
manufacturer's instructions on the box.
Detergent will be flushed automatically into the machine from
the detergent dispenser. The suds level should never risemore
than halfway up to the porthole. Toomuch foam will notimpede
the wash action of your machine but will rise through the
detergent dispenser and make a mess on the floor !
Laundry aids
Detergents are the most popular cleaning agents for home
laundry.
Using too little detergent results in poor wash quality, while
using too much causes excessive suds and poor rinsing.
Detergents not only remove soil, but also hold itin suspension
in the wash water to prevent redepositing iton the wash load.
The amount to use depends on wash load size, amount of soil,
water hardness and detergent type.
ALWAYS measure the amount of detergent. The amount
of suds formed is not necessarily an indication of how much to
use. Some detergents form a great amount of suds, others
only a few. Use only detergents suitable for front loading
washers.

Bleaches
Bleach functions to whiten clothes, remove certain problem
stains, to deodorize and in some cases to sanitize; however
bleaching is nota substitutefor good laundry techniques. Bleach
should never be added tothe rinsewater. Always dilute bleach
before using.
To add bleach, open detergent dispenser door and pour in
compartment 4 (see page 15 and 13-14).
Fabric Softener
All fabrics, particularly towels, benefit from the use of fabric
conditioners in the final rinse, Items of laundry feel softer, are
more easily ironed and the clinging affect of synthetics is

It's important for a good wash
m
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser
You must follow the quantity
recommendations provided by
the manufacturers when
adding detergent or fabric
softener. Quantities will vary
according to the wash load, the
water hardness and how soiled
the clothes are.
Experience will help you select
the right quantity almost
automatically.
Before adding detergent for
pre-washing in compartment
1, make sure that the extra
compartment for bleach 4 has
not been inserted.
Ensure no overfilling when
adding fabric conditioner in
compartment 3.
The washing machine automa-
ticaily adds the softener to the
wash in each program.
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the
wash cycle.
Remember that liquid
detergent is only designed for
wash cycles of up to 60
degrees on non pre-wash
items.
Special containers are sold
with liquid or powder deter-
gents for placing inside the
washing machine drum, these
are positioned according to the
instructions found in the
detergent box
is opened by pulling it out.
Never use hand wash deter-
gent, because it may form too
much foam, which could da-
mage the washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an excep-
tion.
One last secret: when washing
with cotd water, always reduce
the amount of detergent you
use: it dissolves less easily in
cotd water than in hot water, so
part of it would be wasted.

Easy Care and
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.
Your washer-dryer is designed
to provide reliable service over
many years. A few simple steps
will help to extend its life and
avoid problems. It is advisable
to turn off water faucets when
the machine is not in use. This
protects the hoses, etc.
ff the water in your area is
hard, use a water softener
(hard water often leaves white
stains around taps or drains,
especially in bath tubs. For
more accurate information
about the type of water in the
system, call your local water
utility).
Pockets must Mways be
emptied, removing pins,
badges, coins, or any other
hard objects.
to recondition the washer
periodically. Because a non-
phosphate detergent must be
used, body oils and detergent
may accumulate in the washer
tub. This is particularly evident
in hard water areas or in
homes where heavily soiled
garments are regularly
laundered. To remove this
build-up, run the washer
through a complete cycle
using hot water and 2 cups of
a non precipitating water
conditioner. Do not add any
clothes, detergent, or other
laundry aids.
Once the accumulation has
been removed, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you
follow the preventive
suggestions in this owner's
manual.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
The washer-dryer exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap. Do not use polish of any
kind on the plastic trim. Some
polishes contain agents which
can damage plastics.
Cleaning the interior
If you live an area where

After washing is complete the
water faucets should be turned
off to relieve water pressure on
the hoses.
Wipe the inside of the door with
a soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture.
Periodically, a thin coat of pa-
ste wax shouId be applied to
the inner door or the washer;
When in need, check the pump
especially to the area which
is immediately next to the
door window. This will protect
the door finish from laundry
aid spills and any
discoloration which may
results of these spills.
¢SSss
Clear the Coin Trap
Clear the coin trap in case of
blockage. For instructions,
please read the section
below.
Use only Iowosudsing deter-
gents.
Never add too much
detergent.
Detergents already contain
deliming agents. Only if the
water is particularIy hard, that
is, rich in lime content, do we
recommend the use of a
specific product at every
wash.
A periodical wash cycle with
a dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or
washing, may prove useful+
Never use toe much
detergent or additives
because this coumd cause
excessive sudsing, scNing,
and possibme damage to
components in your
washer-dryer.

pockets:
smafl objects can cause
serious damage to your
washer-dryer /
and the rubber hose.
The washer-dryer comes equipped with a seff-c_eaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small
objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, _oose buttons, etc. To avoid possiNe damage, they are
withhemd in an accessiNe coin trap, located at the bottom right end of the machine.

The water inlet hose
Attention: Before attempting to examine this coin trap, first ensure
that the machine has finished its program and is empty. Unplug
the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access, gently ease down the top of the kick plate panel at
the base of the machine with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1).
Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to
catch any water that might be present. Open the cover by turning
it counter-clockwise (Fig. 2). When finished cleaning, ensure that
the cover is securely tightened.
Re-fit the kick plate cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge
into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
Check the rubber hoses at least once a year. if you see any cracks, replace the hose immediately. When you use your washer-
dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open. Superior quality Stainless Steel hoses are
also available for purchase.
