Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using this appliance to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

• Ensure the appliance is properly grounded.

• Supervise children when the appliance is in use.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washer dryer combo.

Removing Transport Bolts

CRITICAL STEP: Before using the appliance, you MUST remove the four shipping bolt assemblies from the back. Failure to do so will cause violent vibration and severe damage to your machine during operation.

The image above illustrates the location of the four shipping bolts on the back of the unit. Use an appropriate wrench to loosen and remove these bolts, along with their accompanying spacers and rubber stoppers. Once removed, insert the provided transport hole plugs into the openings.

Placement and Dimensions

Ensure adequate space for installation and ventilation. The appliance dimensions are approximately 23.5 inches (D) x 33.5 inches (W) x 23.5 inches (H). It is recommended to allow 1-2 more inches of clearance around the unit for proper air circulation and ease of installation.

The unit is designed to maximize space in various settings, including laundry rooms, apartments, and RVs.

Connections

Connect the water hoses to appropriate hot and cold water supplies. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. The unit operates on 120 Volts electric power. Refer to the included user guide for detailed plumbing and electrical connection instructions.

Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the control panel and available cycles for optimal performance.

Control Panel Overview

The control panel features a digital display, touch-sensitive buttons for various settings (e.g., Time Save, Delay, Temp, Spin, Dry), and a large rotary knob for selecting wash and dry cycles. The display provides information on the selected cycle, remaining time, and current status.

Loading Laundry

For best results, DO NOT OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Washing smaller loads can significantly improve both washing and drying performance. The 3.1 Cu.Ft capacity is suitable for large wash and dry loads for a whole family.

The creative "Water Cube" drum design helps to effectively massage clothes and soak fabrics, aiding in stain removal. The lifting ribs with 138 sprinkling holes ensure strong and gentle penetrating flows.

Detergent and Fabric Softener

DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DETERGENT OR FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS. When transitioning from wash-to-dry automatically, always use a fabric softener (or a detergent with built-in softeners) to help clothes release from the drum after the high-speed spin cycle.

Cycle Options

Your Midea washer dryer combo offers 16 wash cycles and 6 dry cycles to choose from:

• Wash Cycles: Normal/Cotton, Perm Press, Heavy Duty, Bulky/Large, Sport Wear, Spin Only, Rinse & Spin, Tub Clean, Sanitary, Baby Wear, Wool, Delicates, Quick Wash, My Cycle.
• Dry Cycles: Timed Dry, Auto Dry.

Specific Cycle Notes:

• Heavy Duty: Use only for heavy cottons such as towels and jeans.
• Low Spin: For items that may wrinkle, select 'Low Spin' during washing.
• Time Save: This feature reduces the laundry process time by approximately 25%-30% by increasing beat frequency and reducing dwell time. Applicable to Perm Press, Heavy Duty, Bulky, and Sports Wear cycles.
• Sanitary: This cycle provides stronger sterilization. Longer drying time effectively eliminates most bacteria and provides significant sterilization, protecting family's health, especially for babies and elders.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your appliance.

Tub Clean Cycle

The 'Tub Clean' cycle is manually selected from the touch panel. During this cycle, the drum will fill with 1/3 water and heat up to 167 ℉ (75 ℃) to provide anti-bacterial cleaning and high-temperature germ reduction for the drum itself.

General Cleaning

Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer regularly to prevent buildup. Refer to the full user guide for instructions on cleaning the lint filter and drain pump filter.
