ter temperature and cycle settings have been selected,
pressing the ON-OFF button will start the washing and
dryer cycles, When the washer cycle stops, the dryer will
automatically start. If desired, you may use only the wash
сусе or only the dry cycle.
Wash Cycle Door Lock
When the ON-OFF button is pressed to begin the wash
cycle, the Washer-Dryer door will automatically lock. The
door will remain locked during the entire wash cyci
ю
The door can be opened at any time during the drying cy-
de.

* Prewash
* Regular.
+ Permanent Press
+ Delicates
* Knits & Woolens.
Water Temperature Selector
Turn the dial clockwise to one of the five wash/rinse
water temperatures. The wash water temperature is in-
dicated first, followed by the rinse water temperature.
Dryer Timer
The dryer timer lets you set the drying time up to 120
minutes, depending on how dry vou want your clothes.
Turn the dryer timer clockwise. The drying time will
vary depending on the type of clothing and also on the
size of the laundry load. You may prefer clothes to be
"damp dry" ready for ironing, or "bone dry” ready for
putting away.
Opening the Washer Dryer door during drying
ning the. ryer luring 3
де causes the heating mechanism to shut off.
The heater requires about 10 minutes to achieve
full power. Opening the door frequently will in-
crease the drying time needed.
The last 8-10 minutes of the dry cycle is a cool down pe-
riod, after which the dryer will automatically switch off.
During the cool down period the heater is off while the
drum continues to tumble. This cooling helps to mini-
‘mize creasing and is an important safety feature. The
machine and clothes will not be too hot to handle at the
end of the drying cycle. Experlence with the machine
‘will tell you how much drying time is needed to get the
results you want.
High Heat-Half Heat Button
For drying permanent press and heavy cottons, maxi-
mum heat is required and this button must not be
pressed. For drying delicate items or clothing that re-
quires low heat drying, press this button.

High/Low Water Level Button
This button varies the amount of water used during
your wash cycle. Seletting "Low" is recommended when
doing partial loads of laundry. Besides using less wa-
ter, the Low setting requires less energy and detergent
resulting in additional wash economy.
Since the Low setting uses less water you should al-
Ways select the "High" setting when doing full loads or
heavy articles of laundry to ensure proper washing.
Note: Be sure to reduce the amount of detergent used
during economy (low water) washes.
Note: Do not use the Low water setting when washing
knits & woolens or delicate clothing, or when doing a
full load of laundry.

The detergent and laundry aids must be added to the dis-
penser compartments before starting the wash cycle.
They will automatically empty into the machine.
NOTE: It is important to use only a small amount
Sf detergent. Front loading washers require about
onethird as much detergent as a full size wash-
er. If you experience excessive suds you may be
using too much detergent.

LAUNDRY AIDS
Detergent Recommendations
1. Use only detergent specifically made for laundering
clothes.
The degree of soil will change detergent amounts.
For heavily soiled loads, increase the amount of de-
tergent used, for lightly soiled loads decrease the
amount of detergent used.
. If water 15 extremely hard, detergent should be In-
creased. Reduce detergent amount in soft water. (un-
der 3.5 grains per gallon)
. If garments have been pre-treated, decrease the
amount of detergent. If garments have been heavily
pre-treated, it may not be necessary to add detergent.
If the previous machine owned was а гор loader, the
initial wash loads in a front loader will require a re-
duced amount of detergent. Until the detergent re-
maining in the clothes 15 removed. Old detergent
trapped in the garments will be released during the
tumble action wash cycle.
For quantities of detergent to be used, refer to the de-
tergent manufacturer's instructions on the box. (Low -
sudsing only).
WARNING: Detergent will be flushed automatical
ly Into the machine from the detergent dispenser.
The suds level should never rise more than half
way up the porthole. Too much foam will not on-
ly impede the wash action of your machine, but
will rise through the detergent dispenser and
make a mess on the floor!
If this should happen clear excessive suds by set-
ting the timer to the beginning of the first rinse
and allow the machine to rinse out.
To prevent spillage from happening clear excessive suds
from the drum by folowing these steps:
= Тит Off the machine
2.
— Turn the Washer Timer Dial forward to Rinse.
- Тут On the machine
= Allow the machine to rinse the suds out.
Bleaches
Bleach functions to whiten, remove certain problem
stains, deodorize and in some cases to sanitize clothes;
however bleaching is not a substitute for good laundry
techniques. Bleach only during the soak or wash cycle.
Bleach should never be added to the rinse water. Always
dilute bleach before using.
To add bleach, open detergent dispenser door and pour
itin compartment C (front lefü.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should you
fill the bleach dispenser. Excessive bleach
will run directly into the machine, and may dam-
age the clothes.
Frequent or excessive use of bleach may damage
clothes.
NOTE:
Please refer to bleach manufacturers’ instructions
for proper amounts of bleach.
Fabric Softeners
All fabrics, particularly towels and diapers, benefit from
the use of fabric softeners In the final rinse. Items of
laundry feel softer, are more easily ironed and the cling-
ing effect of synthetics is considerably reduced.
Pour the amount of softener specified by the softener
manufacturer into the “Additives Compartment” (Com-
partment "D') of the detergent dispenser (ей rear) to
the level indicated on the siphon. Under no circum-
stances should you over-fill this compartment as the
Softener will immediately siphon into the machine and
in so doing, impair the wash results.
MAINTAINING YOUR WASHER-DRYER
Cleaning the exterior
Wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth or sponge; dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use polish of any kind on the plas-
tic trim. Some polishes contain agents which may dam-
age plastics,
Cleaning the interior
If you live in an area with hard water, or if you use non-
phosphate detergent, it may be necessary to clean the
interior of your Washer-Dryer periodically to remove
any oils or deposits that may have accumulated in the
Washer-Dryer tub.
To remove this build-up, run the Washer Dryer through
а complete cycle using hot water and 2 cups of a non
precipitating water conditioner. Do not add any clothes,
laundry detergent or other laundry aids.
Once all accumulation has been removed, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you follow Ure preventive suy-
gestions in this guide.
General maintenance
After washing is complete, the water faucets should be
turned off to relieve water pressure on the hoses.
Wipe the inside of the Washer-Dryer door with a soft
cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
NEVER use prewash sprays near your washer-dryer.
The chemicals in these sprays can damage plastic and
painted parts. 1145 type of damage is not covered un-
der the terms of your warranty.
Before moving your Washer-Dryer to a new location,
you must re-attach the shipping brackets you removed
during installation. (See page 6)
Cleaning the Water Drain Screen
The water drain screen, located at the bottom right-
