Sink Drainpipe System: 
You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid 
kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water. Use a 
drain loop or suitable clamp to support drain hose at 
25" (62 cm) minimum 34" (86 cm) maximum. The outlet 
end of the drain hose must be at least 20" (50 cm) above 
the base of the machine. Entry into sink drain system 
must be above trap. When routing the drain hose through 
cabinets or walls assure no ruff or sharp edges can     
damage the drain hose. All sharp edges MUST  be      
covered by a protective material such as electrical or duct 
tape. Use a drain hose clamp to secure drain hose to 
"Wye" Branch or Disposer (not included).  

 

You may connect directly to a "Wye" Branch Tailpiece 
available at most hardware stores. 

 

You may connect directly to a Disposer by following 
the manufacturer attachment method. 

 

You may connect directly through the floor to a     
separate trap. The trap must be vented to prevent     
siphoning. To provide proper venting; install an Air 
Gap Kit available at most hardware stores. 

 

You may connect to the manufacturers sink drain kit 
(sold separately) that will supply water from your    
faucet and discharge water directly into your sink.

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic 
precautions, including the following:

 

Read all instructions before using the appliance.  

Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously 
cleaned washed or spotted with gasoline dry cleaning 
solvents or other flammable or explosive substances as 
they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.  

Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. 
Close supervision of children is necessary.  

Before the appliance is removed from service or     
discarded remove the door to the washer-dryer      
compartment.  

Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.  

Do not install or store this appliance where it will be 
exposed to the weather 

Do not tamper with controls.  

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or 
attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in the user-maintenance instructions or in 
published user-repair instructions that you understand 
and have the skills to carry out.  

Do not add gasoline  dry-cleaning solvents or other 
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. 
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or 
explode. 

  

Under  certain  conditions,  Hydrogen  gas  may  be     
produced in a hot water system that has not been   
used  for  2  weeks  or  more.  HYDROGEN  GAS  IS            
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been 
used for such a period, before using this combination 
washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the 
water flow from each for several minutes. This will 
release any accumulated Hydrogen Gas.  

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber 
or similar textured rubber-like materials.  

Keep the surrounding areas free from accumulation of 
lint, dust, and dirt.  

The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodi-
cally by qualified service personnel.  

Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your 
dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may    
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a 
load to catch fire.  

Clean drain filter assembly at front of machine
