• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is moving.

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Remove all packaging materials, including the shipping bolts from the washer. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children. Inspect the appliances for any shipping damage.

3.2 Location Requirements

Install the washer and dryer on a solid, level floor capable of supporting the combined weight of both appliances and a full load of laundry. Ensure adequate clearance for air circulation and door opening. Avoid installing in areas where temperatures may drop below freezing.

3.3 Electrical Connection

The washer requires a standard 120V, 60Hz, 15A electrical supply. The electric dryer requires a dedicated 240V, 30A circuit. A power cord for the dryer must be purchased separately and installed by a qualified technician according to local codes.

3.4 Water and Drain Connection (Washer)

Connect the hot and cold water inlet hoses to the corresponding valves and to the washer. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Secure the drain hose to a standpipe or laundry tub, ensuring it is properly vented and secured to prevent dislodging during operation.

3.5 Ventilation (Dryer)

The dryer must be vented to the outside using a rigid metal duct. Ensure the vent path is as short and straight as possible to maximize drying efficiency and prevent lint buildup. Do not use plastic or foil ducts.

3.6 Leveling

Use a level to ensure both the washer and dryer are perfectly level. Adjust the leveling feet as necessary. Proper leveling reduces vibration and noise during operation.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Washer Operation

1. Load Laundry: Open the washer door and load clothes loosely into the drum. Do not overload.
2. Add Detergent: Dispense appropriate detergent into the dispenser drawer. Add fabric softener or bleach to designated compartments if desired.
3. Select Cycle: Turn the cycle selector knob to choose one of the 10 available wash cycles (e.g., Normal, Bulky, Heavy Duty, Sanitize, Delicates, Towels). Additional options like 'Extra Rinse' and 'Soak' can be selected.
4. Start Cycle: Press the 'Start/Pause' button to begin the wash cycle. The Dynamic Vibration Control technology helps keep heavier loads balanced for quieter operation, even at high spin speeds. The Inverter Motor ensures precise speed control and reliability.

4.2 Dryer Operation

1. Load Laundry: Open the dryer door (which is reversible for flexible placement) and load clothes. Ensure the lint filter is clean before each use.
2. Select Cycle: Use the electronic controls to select one of the 10 available drying cycles. This includes 6 Sensor Cycles (Normal, Bulky, Heavy Duty, Sanitize, Delicates, Towels) and 4 Manual Cycles (Quick Dry, Time Dry, Air Fluff, Towel Warmer). Choose from 5 temperature settings.
3. Sensor Dry: For optimal energy efficiency, utilize the Sensor Dry feature. This sensor detects when clothes are dry and automatically stops the dryer, preventing over-drying and saving energy.
4. Start Cycle: Press the 'Start/Pause' button to begin the drying cycle.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.2 Cleaning the Washer Detergent Dispenser

Periodically remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent residue buildup. Rinse with warm water and a brush, then reinsert.

5.3 Cleaning the Dryer Lint Filter

Clean the lint filter before or after every load to maintain drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards. Pull the filter out and remove accumulated lint by hand.

5.4 Drum Cleaning

For the washer, run a 'Tub Clean' or 'Self Clean' cycle periodically with a washing machine cleaner to prevent odor and residue buildup. For the dryer, wipe the drum interior with a damp cloth if needed.
