Temperature
The water temperature is preset so when you select wash cycle it will set the proper
temperature for that wash load,
Please see the chart below to understand the proper temperature for each cycle:
Type of Cycle Type of Temperature
Cotton Cycle
Pre-Wash Cold
Intense Hot
Normal Warm
Delicate Cold
Rinse Cold
Synthetic Cycle
Intense Hot
Normal Warm
Delicate Cold
Rinse Cold
Wool Cycle
Delicate Cold
Rinse Cold
Note: Hot water needs to be at a temperature of at least 120 degree F 140
Degree F (49 Degree C - 60 Degree C) for the soap to dissolve and to avoid
soap residue remaining on clothes. If your water temperature is not at above
described level when washing your clothes, you need to regulate your water
heater to maintain that temperature.
Loading the Washer:
•Load each item loosely,
• Separate the white and colored clothes. Separate heavy clothes from light clothes,
• Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for small items. They can easily slide in to the
tub and may damage the tub.
• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.
• Do not overload your washer.
• Close the door properly after loading the clothes.

Proper Use of Dispenser:
The detergent/softener dispenser is located on the upper left corner of the washer.
Open the dispenser by pulling it out. You will see that there are four compartments,
"1" Compartment- This is used for liquid detergent for pre-wash. This is used
when you want to pre-wash heavily soiled dirty clothes before going to actual wash
cycle.
"2" Compartment: This is used for liquid detergent for actual wash cycle.
"A" Compartment: This is used for liquid fabric softener.
"C" Compartment- This is used for bleach,
("1" Compartment-
For pre-wash liquid detergent)
/
("A" Compartment-
("2" Compartment-
For liquid detergent)
J _
\ '_==:2==2=
For liquid fabric softener)
Proper Use of Fabric Softener:
• Pour in liquid fabric softener into the compartment as recommended by the
ma nufacturer.
• Do not exceed the level in the compartment to avoid overflow.
12

Proper Use of Detergent:
Low-Susding is recommended for front load style washers. This type of detergent
prevents damage to your washing machine; which may be caused by excess
amount of suds entering the condensing compartment.
Note: You can use less or more detergent depending on the size of the load, water
type in your area whether it is soft or hard and whether the clothes are
heavily soiled or lightly soiled. Besides the performance of the washing
machine the quality of the detergent also affect the washing result.
Warning: • Never pour fabric softener directly onto clothes as it may stain your
clothes or you may get spots on your clothes.
• Do not use powder form of softener into dispenser it may clog up the
dispenser. This dispenser is only designed for liquid only.
Dryer Operation:
• Your dryer is "condensing type" which means it requires no venting. During
the drying process, the evaporating water from your clothes is condensed by the
machine and drained in the form of water out of the drain hose. The machine
uses small amount of fresh water that is automatically fed to the machine from the
inlet hose, You may hear that the machine is drawing water during the dry cycle.
• With this vent-less design, you can install the dryer under the counter to have a
built-in look or any other enclosed area.
Note: The drying operation of this unit is different then other dryers you may have
used in the past. Large household and laundromat dryer operate on 220
volt which supply more elctricity and allows faster drying time. Your washer
& dryer combo unit operates on 115 volts; which supply less electricity,
resulting in longer drying time,
• You can select drying time from 2 settings. 120 mintutes for High Temp and up to
80 minutes for Low Temp, See below the recommended
temperature and time setting for different clothes:
Dry Time Selection Heat Type
120 minutes High Types of clothes For jeans and towel
etc,
80 minutes Low For light garments such
as bed sheets, skirts,
socks etc.

Note: For full loads, you may want to remove 1/3 to 1/2 of the load and dry the
remaining clothes seperately. This will be an efficient way to dry your clothes
and will not take as long to dry. For less than full loads, you may want to
reduce drying time. This will prevent over drying of your clothes.
Manual Operation of the Dryer:
•Tooperate the dryer manually, simply load machine with wet clothes, turn the
"Dryer Selector Knob" to the desired time and push the power button "ON",
Note: When operating the dryer, you must keep "Wash Cycle Selector" knob in
the "OFF" position.
Automatic Operation of the Dryer:
• For the automatic operation, simply set the Dry Cycle Selector Knob to the desired
time at the beginning of the wash cycle. When the wash cycle is finished, the
dryer will turn on automatically,
Note: The dryer will not turn on automatically if the "No Spin" button is pushed in,
You must keep the "No Spin" button in an out position in order to go from
wash function to dryer function automatically, The dryer will not come on
automatically after the wool cycle,
Note: When washing full load, we recommend that you keep the spin cycle in the
"OFF" position to prevent the unit from going to dry mode automatically at
the end of cycle if the spin cycle was in "ON" position. This will give you the
flexibility to take out 1/3 to 1/2 of the load and dry the remainder. The
advantage is that your clothes will dry evenly and more quickly.
Loading the Dryer:
1, Sort clothes for drying. Seperate dark and light colored items, like you do for
washing. Check for stains that have not been removed in washing. Dryer heat
may permanently set some stains, Properly dried clothes will need minimum of
care when removed from dryer.
2, I_oad up dryer with washed clothes, For optimum result, use dryer load of similar
weight, fabric and construction. Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent from
tangling. Do not overload the dryer, Add fabric softener sheet if desired.
3, Select the drying time depending on the fabric type and load size.
4, Wait for the drying cycle to finish before opening the door.
Note: Do not over dry your clothes, over drying can cause shrinkage,
harshness and wrinkling of fabric,
