Important:
Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked and that
water flow is not restricted.
3) 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).
4) To the faucet using a Faucet Adapter Kit (available separately).
• Use a U-Clamp (provided in your accessories packet) or suitable item to
secure the outlet end of the drain hose (included in the plastic bag
provided inside of your washer-dryer).
• Insert the outlet end of the drain hose into the standpipe, wall or floor
drain (Fig. 1).
NOTE: The outlet end of the drain hose MUST be at least 20” (50 cm)
above the base of the machine. No more than 6” of the drain hose should
be inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.
• Use a strap, cable tie, or similar item to hold the hose or the U-Clamp in place.

DRAINAGE
•
Standpipe Diameter/Capacity
- Needs a 1 ¼” minimum diameter
standpipe with a minimum carry-away capacity of 7 gallons per minute.
•
Top of Standpipe -
Must be between 25” - 34” high from the bottom of the machine.
•
Outlet End of Drain Hose (provided with the unit) -
Must be at least
20” above the bottom of the washer-dryer. An air break must be
available at the standpipe to avoid siphoning. No more than 6” of the
drain hose should be inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
It is possible for the water to be discharged into a sink, standpipe or
drainpipe, but an air break must be available at a min. 20” height to
prevent the machine from siphoning (Fig. 1).
1
Standpipe Drain System - Installations require a minimum 1 ¼” (3.2 cm)
diameter standpipe with a minimum carry away capacity of 7 gallons (26
liters) per minute.
Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain System - The top of the standpipe must be
between 25” (62 cm) - 34” (86 cm) from the bottom of the washer-dryer (Fig. 2).
2
Sink Drainpipe System -
Entry into the sink drain system must be above the trap
(Fig. 3). When routing the drain hose through cabinets or walls, use a protective
material such as electrical or duct tape to cover sharp edges that could damage the
drain hose. Use a suitable clamp to secure the drain hose to the “Y” branch or the
disposer. With a sink drainpipe system, you may connect directly:
1) to a disposer by following the manufacturers attachment method.
2) to a “Y” branch tail piece (available at most hardware stores).
CONNECTING WATER INLET
If the water pipes you will be connecting to are new or unused, run the
water until clear to remove any debris that could clog the water valve
screens or valves before connecting the machine.
NOTE: Supply shut-off valves should be easily accessible.
Important:
Water pressure MUST range within the values indica-
ted on the “Technical Data” chart.
1.
Screw the cold water fill hose (
C
blue
connector) onto the cold water supply
until tight.
2.
Turn on the cold water supply and check
for leaks, tighten if necessary.
3.
Screw the hot water fill hose (
H
red
connector) onto the hot water supply until
tight.
4.
Turn on the hot water supply and check
for leaks, tighten if necessary.
Important:
Do not use excessive force. Damage to the couplings
can result. The couplings should be tightened by hand; a tool should
only be used if a leak occurs.

WARNING: Risk of fire. Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
Note: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer system, with an engineered exhaust
duct system that is installed per the clothes dryer manufacturer’s guidelines.
Follow these requirements when installing the exhaust for this washer-dryer:
• The appliance shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.
• Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting.
• In Canada, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the United States, only
those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the UL 2158A, shall be used.
• The exhaust duct shall be 4” (102 mm) in diameter.
• The maximum duct length shall be no greater than 7.9 ft (2.4 m), and the number of bends shall not exceed 2 elbows.
•The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 7.9 ft (2.4 m).
• The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint.
NOTE: Exhaust ducts should be as short and as straight as possible.
NOTE: Long exhaust ducting can extend drying time, collect lint and may affect drying performance.
