WASHER-DRYER PREPARED
(CONSULT YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL FOR EITHER STANDARD OR OPTIONAL USAGE)
The washer-dryer “prep” package includes the following items:
• Two color coded water supply lines. A red line for hot; a blue line for cold.
• A 1½ inch water drain line with threaded cap, P-trap and an automatic vent cap.
• A 120 Volt receptacle located in the compartment.
The washer drain line will either be connected to a grey or black holding tank.
When the black (solid waste water) holding tank is used, the drain valve should be opened to drain the
washer water into the drain service. The black tank drain valve must be closed when washer is not being
used to prevent the tank from becoming clogged.
When the grey (waste water) holding tank is used, the drain valve should be opened to drain the wash-
er water into the drain service. The grey tank drain valve can be left open when the washer is not being
used.
Before using the washer for the first time, determine which holding tank is being used:
• Empty all the holding tanks (see “Water Systems” section).
• Close all holding tank valves and run washer for one cycle. Washer will use between twelve
and twenty gallons of water.
• Use the tank level monitor to determine which holding tank is being used. Drain the holding
tank.
If a washer-dryer is to be installed at a later date, follow all the manufacturer’s installation
instructions. Listed here are further instructions which should be adhered to for safe and reliable
operation:
• Do not connect the clothes dryer exhaust duct to any
other duct, vent or chimney.
• Do not terminate the exhaust duct beneath the
motorhome.
• Use proper length fastener when attaching exhaust vent
to exterior sidewall. Stainless steel fasteners are best
suited for this as they will not rust.
• If the cabinet or closet in which a washer-dryer is
installed does not have vented louvered doors, the
manufacturer’s installation instructions may require
installation of vented doors or vents to be installed in
the doors. This is for sufficient circulation of drying.
NOTE: Sidewall dryer vents are not part of the prep
package. If a sidewall vent is to be installed,
properly seal vent to sidewall.

WASHER - DRYER
(CONSULT YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL FOR EITHER STANDARD OR OPTIONAL USAGE)
The automatic washer-dryer has a capacity of up to 12 lbs.
of dry clothing. It is front loading with an extra large door
opening for easier access. Several wash and dry programs are
available along with variable water temperature settings.
• The washer-dryer operates on 120 Volt AC from shore
power or the generator.
• The washer-dryer will use approximately 12 to 20 gallons
of water per wash cycle.
The washer drain line will either be connected to a grey or
black holding tank.
When the black (solid waste water) holding tank is used, the
drain valve should be opened to drain the washer water into the
drain service. The black tank drain valve must be closed when
washer is not being used to prevent the tank from becoming clogged.
When the grey (waste water) holding tank is used, the drain valve should be opened to drain the
washer water into the drain service. The grey tank drain valve can be left open when the washer is not
being used.
Before using the washer for the first time, determine which holding tank is being used:
• Empty all the holding tanks (see “Water Systems” section).
• Close all holding tank valves and run washer for one cycle. Washer will use between twelve
and twenty gallons of water.
• Use the tank level monitor to determine which holding tank is being used. Drain the holding
tank.
INFO: The washer-dryer has many features. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual in the
owner’s information file for detailed operating instructions.
WARNING: Open a window or vent while operating the dryer. The washer-dryer can create
negative air pressure inside the motorhome that can accumulate Carbon
Monoxide or LP-Gas while operating fuel-burning appliances.
CAUTION: Do not use the washer-dryer while traveling. Suspension movement, com-
bined with the weight of the drum while in the wash cycle, can damage the internal
components of the washer-dryer.
Before using the washer, after winter storage or a long period of non-use, it is a good idea to conduct
this simple test procedure prior to loading the machine for use. This procedure will verify all the hardware
and electronic components are functioning properly. Wipe the inside and outside with a damp cloth to
remove any travel dust that has accumulated.
NOTE: Perform this test before putting the washer-dryer in use or after the winter months.
This will clear the water lines and drum of winterization antifreeze.
