Helpful Hints
To eliminate worry about selecting the right water level, your
washer has a sensor water level control system that is designed to
ensure the correct amount of water is pumped into the machine for
any load size.
Use one of the “Express” wash cycles to wash smaller loads of
your lightly soiled Cotton Heavy Duty or Permanent Press fabrics in
less time.
About the Easy Iron button: This special program uses specifi-
cally studied wash motions to respect fabrics in the best possible
way. During the rinse phase, it introduces more water and the spin
cycle is shorter with a reduced spin speed, thus producing more
outstreched fabrics for easier ironing (see “Understanding the Control
Panel,” pg. 9, for complete instructions).
How to Wash
Operation Instructions
nStarting Your Washer-Dryer
Starting your washer-dryer in the right way effects the quality of your
wash results, will help prevent future problems, and will enhance the
life expectancy of your machine. Once you have loaded your washer-
dryer correctly (see “Choosing a Load,” p. 12) and added detergent
and fabric softener (see “About Laundry Aids” on p. 10), always check
that:
•The door is closed correctly;
•The plug is secured in the socket;
•The water supply is turned on;
•The Program Selector Knob (A) is positioned on one of the “Reset”
positions;
•The On/Off button (I) is in the OFF position.
nHow to Wash Only
Select the program according to the type of garments you are
washing. Refer to the “Guide to the Wash Programs” chart on p. 7 then:
•Turn the Program Selector knob (A) clockwise until the selected program
is aligned with the mark on the knob.
•Turn the Wash Temp. knob (C) to the desired wash temperature for your
load.
•If necessary, use buttons E, F, G, or H to run a Special Program. If you
do not wish to use these buttons, leave them in their OFF (OUT)
position.
•Lastly, press the On/Off button (I) in. The Status/Door Lock lamp (L) will
flash slowly for 5 seconds, then will light steady to indicate that the
program has been accepted. NOTE: Should you wish to interrupt a
program in progress or set a new one, advance the Program Selector
knob (A) to a
“
Reset
”
position and wait 5 seconds. Pilot lamp (L) will
flash slowly, then turn the appliance off.
At the end of the wash cycle:
•The Status/Door Lock lamp (L) will flash quickly for up to 1-2 min. to
indicate that the cycle is finished, but the door is still locked. The light
will flash slowly when the door can safely be opened.
•When the Status/Door Lock lamp (L) light flashes slowly, turn the washer-
dryer OFF by pressing the On/Off button (I) again.
•Open the washer-dryer door and remove your freshly cleaned laundry.
•After removing your laundry, leave the door open to allow for air
circulation inside the drum to avoid the formation of bad odors.
nSetting Delay Start
Use the Delay Start option on your washer-dryer to delay the start of
any wash program by 12, 9, 3, or 1 hour(s).
•With the machine power OFF, turn the Program Selector Knob (A)
clockwise to one of the 4 delay start positions (12, 9, 3, or 1 hr.).
•Press the On/Off button (I). The Status/Door Lock lamp (L) will flash
slowly for 5 seconds and then stays lit to indicate that the delay time
has been accepted. Now you can turn the knob clockwise to the
program you desire.
•The Status/Door Lock lamp (L) has a particular flashing motion (2
seconds on and 4 seconds off) to indicate that a delayed start has
been set. During this phase, you can open the appliance door and
change the washing load, should you wish to do so. NOTE: After the
wash cycle has been set and accepted by the washer-dryer, turning
the knob will have no effect (except when it

’

s on the
“
Reset
”
position).

and other laundry aids."
"But where did all the water go?"
"Simple, Splendide washer-dryers use the newest
technology and need less than half the water to get wash
results that are twice as good! This is why you cannot see
the water through the door."
