Installing the washer-dryer 11 About your washer-dryer CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, with-in an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Foam Removal System Your machine automatically measures the amount of foam in circulation and adds water to the drum to remove excess foam for the highest rinsing performance. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Recirculating Wash Feature With your Splendide washer-dryer, no detergent is wasted. Water recirculates and redistributes detergent throughout the drum in a way that assures all detergent is dissolved for max. resource efficiency. Your New Appliance Your new appliance is an automatic washer and ventless tumble dryer by Splendide. Front-loading with a stainless steel drum and an extra large door opening for easy loading and unloading. It features 10 wash programs, 7 water temp. settings, 3 dry programs, and a 1200 RPM max. spin speed. About Condenser Drying This appliance dries laundry by heating the laundry inside the drum to create steam and then cooling the outer drum. As the steam hits the cooled surface, it’s condensed back into water and is pumped out through the drain system. This process repeats until the clothes are dry. NOTE: This drying process does not require any outside venting, however, it does require approx. 5 gallons of COLD water per your of dry time. Splendide’s ventless models DO NOT add moisture or humidity to the surrounding area. All humidity stays within the unit and is drained as water. Automatic Dispenser Drawer Automatically dispenses laundry aids (detergent, bleach, softener) during the cycle. Auto Water/Energy Control Automatically adjusts the amount of water and energy to use for each load. Safety Door Lock Protects you from opening the door when it is unsafe. Express Wash Washes lightly soiled Cotton Heavy Duty and Permanent Press fabrics in less time. 12 More Rinse Cycles Most washers have only 1 rinse following each wash while your Splendide washer-dryer has up to 4. It rinses 2-3 times after every wash (except Express Wash) and features an Extra Rinse button that adds yet another rinse to remove even mor e dirt/detergent from fabrics (recommended for those with detergent contact allergies). About your appliance Automatic Balance System Every Splendide washer-dryer incorporates the latest motor technology. When it detects an out-of-balance load the motor will adjust speed (or come to a complete stop) and reposition the load automatically. Impulse Spin Technology Your machine features Splendide’s exclusive IST processor that varies pulse in low spin for less wrinkling, less wear on clothing, less noise, less vibration, and improved energy efficiency. Extra-Large Door Opening For easier loading and unloading. 1200 RPM High Spin For better drying performance. Extra-Durable Heavy duty springs, shock absorbers. Stainless steel drum. Dryer Cool Down The last few minutes of the dry cycle, your dryer will carry out a cool down period. Clothing will tumble freely without heat. This will cool fabric, buttons and snaps for safe handling and to reduce wrinkling. ENERGY STAR Uses very little water to get laundry spotlessly clean and is up to 40% more efficient than non-Energy Star models. Low Maintenance Lint passes safely through a ‘self-cleaning pump’ and then out the drain or dryer vent - so there’s no messy wash or dry filter for you to clean.

HE detergents are quick dissolving and low sudsing and will deliver optimum results in your front-loading machine. Splendide Premium Laundry Powder, Part No. 1005 Your Splendide requires smaller amounts of laundry aids to get fabrics clean. Adding too much detergent won’t necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on your clothes and inside your appliance and even pollute the environment. Recommended laundry aid amounts per wash load: • Prewash detergent (Optional): About the Dispenser Drawer Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser drawer has three compartments (plus one removable bin) for adding laundry products to the wash load. These compartments are: • Detergent: 1 to 2 TBSP Powder (or 1 TBSP Liquid) • Fabric softener: 1to 2 TBSP (Liquid ONLY) • Bleach (Optional): DO NOT exceed the MAX fill line 4 1 1 to 2 TBSP Powder (or 1 TBSP Liquid) 2 IMPORTANT: Adjust laundry aid amounts for heavily/lightly soiled loads, or hard/soft water. NEVER EXCEED the recommended amounts of detergent or fabric softener. Doing so could impair wash results and cause damage to the internal parts of your machine! 3 IMPORTANT: NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS! WARNING! Always dilute bleach before using. Never overfill bleach dispenser. Excess bleach could damage clothes. 1 PreWash Detergent (With Bleach Bin removed) 2 Detergent for the Wash Cycle or Liquid) 3 Fabric Softener (Liquid) 4 Bleach (With Bleach Bin in place) (Powder IMPORTANT: The suds level should never rise more than half way up to the porthole. Too much foam will rise through the dispenser and make a mess on your floor IMPORTANT: Using fabric softener causes items to release from the drum immediately after high-speed spin, helping clothes to dry faster while minimizing wrinkling and softening fabrics. NOTE: Splendide recommends using 1 to 2 tbsp. of a bio-friendly, or similar brand per wash load. These softeners tend to appear light in color and dissolve more quickly in less water, minimizing build-up within your machine.

When washing single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans, add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load. Single, heavy items such as a bathrobe can be washed separately. Do not wash rugs that could come apart and clog your machine. For more delicate garments protect underwear, tights, stockings and other small or delicate items by placing them in a mesh laundry pouch while washing and drying. When using the ‘Wool’ cycle, for best results, use a detergent that is for wool garments, taking care not to wash more than 2.2 lbs. Splendide laundry tips • • • • • Wash cycles are 30 to 96 minutes. Dry times for average sized loads are 60 to 80 minutes Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU MAY NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is normal. Once set, the DRY TIME, WATER TEMP and CYCLE SELECTOR knobs won’t move. The door automatically locks during the wash and dry cycles. To unlock the door, access the drum, then RESUME the cycle, see DOOR LOCK LED on page 13. For best results, • • • • • • • • DON’T OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Keep up with laundry by doing smaller loads every day or two. DON’T EXCEED RECOMMENDED DETERGENT OR FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS. When going from ‘was-to-dry’ automatically, Always use a fabric softener (Or a Detergent with built-in softeners) so clothes release from the drum after the high speed spin. ONLY use ‘Cotton Heavy Duty’ for heavy cottons (towels, jeans, etc.) For items that may wrinkle, use ‘Low Spin’ in wash and ‘Synthetics Dry’ To further prevent wrinkles, set a ‘wash ONLY’ cycle with ‘LOW SPIN’ pressed. After the wash cycle ends, remove large items (pants, sheets, etc.) from the drum and shake them out. Loosely fold them and place them back in the drum. Then set a ‘Synthetics Dry’ cycle with ‘LOW HEAT’ pressed. For mixed DRY CYCLE loads, remove items that may wrinkle while still damp (dress shirts, etc.) Hand press and hang them. Then, continue drying the rest (underwear, towels, etc.) NEVER OVER DRY LAUNDRY. Over drying is a major cause of wrinkling. A certain amount of humidity is what makes fabrics soft and fluffy. WARNING! During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot. Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been washed with flammable or chemical solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene). This appliance can only be used to dry clothes that have been pre-washed in water. Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar materials 18 Washing and drying Combo laundry FAQ’s Is using a combination washer-dryer much different than what I’m use to? Yes, in some ways. You are washing and drying in the same drum and load sizes are smaller. Wash cycles are similar, but because combination washer-dryers are compact and operate using 115V (vs. 230V), dry times are longer. Instead of washing several, bulky loads of laundry in one day, you’ll learn to adjust your laundry habits to launder smaller, more convenient loads every day or two. Why do I need to load my drum less full for ‘dry’ and ‘wash-to-dry’ cycles? Your machine can wash larger loads than it can dry. Remember, separate washers and dryers have drums of different sizes (the dryer drum is usually 2 times bigger), and your machine washes and dries in the same drum. When you program your machine to ‘dry’ or ‘wash-to-dry’ you must load the drum no more than 1/2 to 3/4 full. (NOTE: Automatic washto-dry not available when Silk is selected) What factors affect drying times? Drying times depend largely on the type of material (some fibers absorb more water than others), and the dampness of the articles when drying is started (1200 RPM spin vs. 800- 600 RPM spin), and on the amount of laundry that is being dried. Jeans, towels and similar (rather thick) articles will take longer to dry. Sample wash-to-dry loads To get you started, here are a few sample load sizes that can go directly from wash through dry. NOTE: Data purely indicative. Actual drying times will vary depending on type/weight of material. Sample Load 1 • Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time: 65 min. • 2-3 Bath Towels (27” x 52” / all 100% cotton) • 1 Hand Towel (16” x 28”) • 1-2 Wash Cloth(s) (13” x 13”) Sample Load 2 • Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time: 55 min. • 1 Flat Sheet (90” x 102” / all 230 thread count) • 1 Fitted Sheet (60” x 80”) • 2 Standard Queen Pillowcases (21” x 32”) Sample Load 3 • Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty / Dry Time: 60 min. • 1 Hand Towel (16” x 28”) • 1 Pair Jeans (35” waist/32” inseam) • 1 Sweatshirt (Large, 50% cotton, 50% polyester) Washing and drying 19 Care and maintenance Turning off the water or electricity supply Checking the water inlet hoses Turn off the water supply after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance’s water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it, while on vacation and during all maintenance operations. Check the water inlet hoses at least once a year. Clean the filters and the water valves. If you see any cracks, bulges or wear, replace hoses immediately; During the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. Cleaning your appliance The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. WARNING! Never use inlet hoses that have already been used. IMPORTANT: Replace the inlet hoses at least every five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. When replacing the inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker. Cleaning the dispenser drawer Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out. Wash it under running water; repeat as needed. Caring for your appliance door and drum When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odors from forming. 20 Care and maintenance Cleaning the interior The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by a qualified service technician. Over time, continual oversudsing can clog up the condensing chamber and fan blower with lint and reduce drying efficiency. Cleaning the pump pre-chamber The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require regular maintenance. However, if small items (such as coins or buttons) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, you will need to retrieve them. No lint filter to clean Your Splendide removes the lint automatically with the help of it’s self-cleaning pump, so there’s no lint filter to clean. IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber: 1 Using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washer-dryer. 2 Place a small dish or tray below the cover. Unscrew the pre-chamber by rotating it counter clockwise. A little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal. 3 Clean the interior thoroughly. 4 Screw the pre-chamber back on. 5 Reposition the panel, making sure the tabs are positioned correctly before you push the panel back onto the appliance.
