Why is a combination washer-
dryer installed in my apartment?
Your apartment managers wanted
to enhance your lifestyle by offering
in unit laundry. However, because of
limitations to space, energy, or dryer
venting, a full-size washer and dryer
couldn’t be used. With Splendide,
they’ve provided you the option to
wash and dry laundry in the privacy
of your own apartment.
Is doing laundry different in a
Combo washer-dryer?
Yes, load sizes are smaller, but a
Splendide washer-dryer is designed
to care for your laundry and to
deliver outstanding wash results.
Unlike other laundry appliances, a
Splendide can go from wash to dry
automatically. To make the most of
your Splendide don’t let laundry pile
up. Keep up with laundry by doing a
load every day or two. Make it part
of your routine to throw a load in
after your workout or before you go
to bed and let Splendide do the rest!
Why does it take longer?
Because Splendide is front-loading
and operates on 110V instead of
220V, cycle times are longer: 33
to 96 minutes to wash. 70 to 110
minutes to dry.
Any tips for loading the drum?
Remember, in separate w/d’s, dryer
drums are twice the size of washer
drums. In Splendide, you wash and
dry in the SAME drum. If doing an
automatic Wash-to-Dry load, load the
drum 1/2-2/3 full, or wash a full load
and remove 1/3 to 1/2 the laundry
before starting a dry cycle.
Sample Wash-to-Dry Load: 2-3 bath
towels, 1 hand towel, and 1-2 wash
cloth(s). Dry Time*: 70-120 min.
*Sample Load dry times based on Cotton Heavy Duty
wash/dry and vary according to fabric type and size.

Where’s the load size selector?
Splendide washer-dryers have a built-
in Automatic Consumption Control
feature. It automatically adjusts the
water used for the size and fabric type
of your load. No guesswork, perfect
every time.
Why can’t I see the water inside the
washer drum?
Splendide’s are extremely efficient
and use very little water. You may not
be able to see water during the wash
cycle. This is NORMAL.
Where’s the lint filter?
Splendide’s are so gentle, they pro-
duce very little lint. There’s no lint filter
for you to clean because a specially
designed self-cleaning pump does the
work for you.
Where’s the dryer vent?
Unlike vented dryers, the Splendide
7100XC uses a condenser drying
process. Moisture is removed from
the laundry in the form of steam
which is condensed back into water
and pumped out the drain. No vent
required.
My clothes feel damp after drying.
When you remove items after drying,
they may feel slightly damp to the
touch even though they are dry.
THIS IS NORMAL. It’s a result of your
machine’s self-condensing drying
process. Simply shake the items out
to allow any humidity to dissipate (a
few seconds) before folding or hanging
them as you usually would.
FOR BEST DRYING
Your washer-dryer operates on
110V and has a 1300W dryer.
It will take longer to dry than a
traditional dryer (which operates
on 220V). For best drying results,
follow these tips:
Keep the door closed during
the dry cycle. This conserves
energy by trapping heat,
Use a LOW SUDSING (HE)
detergent,
Use FABRIC SOFTENER or a
detergent with built-in softeners,
DO NOT OVERLOAD the drum,
DO NOT OVER DRY your
laundry. Moisture is what
makes fabrics soft and fluffy.

START button to cancel
the cycle and clear the
controls.
ADD-AN-ITEM*
To open the door without cancelling the
current cycle, press the ON-OFF button
once. Press ON-OFF again to resume the
cycle. *Not always available.
MORE COMBO TIPS
Always use fabric softener. Using softener
assures that the laundry falls easily from the
drum after high spin and tumbles freely during
the dry cycle.
ONLY use ‘Cotton Heavy Duty’ cycles for HEAVY
cottons (towels, jeans, etc.)
For items that may wrinkle, use ‘LOW SPIN’ in
wash and/or ‘LOW HEAT’ with ‘Synthetics Dry.’
For mixed loads, remove items that may wrinkle
while still damp (dress shirts, etc.) Hand press
and hang them. Then, continue drying the rest of
the load (underwear, towels, etc.)
After washing, shake out LARGE ITEMS (pants,
sheets, etc.) Loosely fold them and place them
back in the drum. Then start a Dry cycle. This will
improve drying times and reduce fabric wrinkling.
