The washer dryer is equipped with a power cord and a three prong NEMA 5-20P plug.

Never use an extension cord.

Do not modify the plug provided with this appliance. Have a qualified electrician install the plug into the wall receptacle if the plug does not fit the outlet. To prevent risk or fire, electric shock or personal injury all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with National Electrical Code, local codes and ordinances. The owner of the appliance is responsible for providing adequate electrical service for this appliance.

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces and eliminates the risk of electric shock. This appliance is fitted with a proper grounding pins. Plug your washer dryer into a appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with your state and country electrical codes.

Warning. Improper connection without grounding can result in electric shock. Check with your local qualified electrician or authorized service personnel, if in doubt.

Water

Water pressure of 30 to 120 p.s.i. is required to correctly fill the washer dryer. Pressure of less than 30 p.s.i. may cause a failure in the water valve or extended fill time. The inlet valve system may not shut off correctly. To avoid the possibility of water damage should a hose leak, always have faucets accessible. Turn off faucet when washer dryer is not in use.

Drain Facility

We recommend the height of the standpipe to be not higher than 2.63ft and not lower than 1.64 ft. Make sure the drain facility is capable of accepting the drain hose in a secure manner.

Flooring

For best performance the unit must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wooden floors need reinforcement to minimize machine vibration. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause the washer dryer to move slightly during the spin and dry cycles. Never install the washer dryer on a raised platform or on any weak structure. Proper flooring is the responsibility of the owner.

Location

We recommend the washer dryer not be installed in areas where water may freeze or boil. The washer dryer maintains some amount of water internally at all times in components like the valve, the pump, and in the hose areas. If this water freezes, it can damage belts, the pump, the motor, hoses or other components. Make sure the operating temperature is not below 60 degrees F. Your washer dryer is a ventless system, therefore it can be installed in a closet or in an alcove.

Warning

Your washer dryer is manufactured for operation on 60Hz AC approved electrical service. This model is not designed for use on 50 Hz AC electrical service. We do not recommend conversion.
