4 General information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or

injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using any appliance.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, or spotted in gasoline, dry cleaning

solvents, or other flammable/explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the

appliance is used near children.

• Before the appliance is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing/drying

compartment.

• 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.

• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• 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 the appliance, turn on all hot-water

faucets and let the water flow from each for several

minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.

As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open

flame during this time.

• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and

valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture

occurs.

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

• Repair or replacement of a part should be made only by

a qualified service technician to prevent personal injury or

damage to the machine. Contact Splendide to locate an

authorized repair service company near you.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in

the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand and have the skills

to carry out.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

• Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when

installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Follow

basic precaution.

• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,

and dirt.

• Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker or

fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or when

servicicng is required. Have the installer show you and label

the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box.

• The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a

chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

• Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by

providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or

personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly gounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not

fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

12 About your appliance

About your washer-dryer

Your New Appliance

Your new appliance is an automatic washer and vented

tumble dryer by Splendide. Front-loading with a stainless

steel drum and an extra large door opening for easy loading

and unloading. It features 10 wash programs, 7 water temp.

settings, 3 dry programs, and a 1200 RPM max. spin speed.

Automatic Dispenser Drawer

Automatically dispenses laundry aids (detergent, bleach,

softener) during the cycle.

Auto Water/Energy Control

Automatically adjusts the amount of water and energy to

use for each load.

Safety Door Lock

Protects you from opening the door when it is unsafe.

Express Wash

Washes lightly soiled Cotton Heavy Duty and Permanent

Press fabrics in less time.

More Rinse Cycles

Most washers have only 1 rinse following each wash while

your Splendide washer-dryer has up to 4. It rinses 2-3 times

after every wash (except Express Wash) and features an Extra

Rinse button that adds yet another rinse to remove even

more dirt/detergent from fabrics (recommended for those

with detergent contact allergies).

Foam Removal System

Your machine automatically measures the amount of foam

in circulation and adds water to the drum to remove excess

foam for the highest rinsing performance.

Recirculating Wash Feature

With your Splendide washer-dryer, no detergent is wasted.

Water recirculates and redistributes detergent throughout

the drum in a way that assures all detergent is dissolved for

max. resource efficiency.

Automatic Balance System

Every Splendide washer-dryer incorporates the latest motor

technology. When it detects an out-of-balance load the

motor will adjust speed (or come to a complete stop) and

reposition the load automatically.

Impulse Spin Technology

Your machine features Splendides exclusive IST processor

that varies pulse in low spin for less wrinkling, less wear on

clothing, less noise, less vibration, and improved energy

efficiency.

Extra-Large Door Opening

For easier loading and unloading.

1200 RPM High Spin

For better drying performance.

Extra-Durable

Heavy duty springs, shock absorbers. Stainless steel drum.

Dryer Cool Down

The last few minutes of the dry cycle, your dryer will carry

out a cool down period. Clothing will tumble freely without

heat. This will cool fabric, buttons and snaps for safe

handling and to reduce wrinkling.

Low Maintenance

Lint passes safely through a self-cleaning pump and then

out the drain or dryer vent - so theres no messy wash or

dry filter for you to clean.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electic shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.

The lightning ash with arrowhead

symbol, with-in an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to the presence

of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within

the product’s enclosure that may be of

sucient magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilat-

eral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,

DO NOT remove cover (or back). No user

serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to

qualied service personnel.

About your appliance 15

IMPORTANT: Adjust laundry aid amounts for

heavily/lightly soiled loads, or hard/soft water.

NEVER EXCEED the recommended amounts of

detergent or fabric softener. Doing so could

impair wash results and cause damage to the

internal parts of your machine!

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER

SHEETS!

WARNING! Always dilute bleach before using.

Never overfill bleach dispenser. Excess bleach

could damage clothes.

IMPORTANT: The suds level should never rise

more than half way up to the porthole. Too much

foam will rise through the dispenser and make a

mess on your floor

IMPORTANT: Using fabric softener causes items

to release from the drum immediately after

high-speed spin, helping clothes to dry faster

while minimizing wrinkling and softening fabrics.

NOTE: Splendide recommends using 1 to 2 tbsp.

of a bio-friendly, or similar brand per wash load.

These softeners tend to appear light in color and

dissolve more quickly in less water, minimizing

build-up within your machine.

Laundry Aid Type / Amounts

Your Splendide requires smaller amounts of laundry

aids to get fabrics clean. Adding too much

detergent wont necessarily make for a more

efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on

your clothes and inside your appliance and even

pollute the environment. Recommended laundry

aid amounts per wash load:

• Prewash detergent (Optional):

1 to 2 TBSP Powder

(or 1 TBSP Liquid)

• Detergent:

1 to 2 TBSP Powder

(or 1 TBSP Liquid)

• Fabric softener:

1to 2 TBSP (Liquid ONLY)

• Bleach (Optional):

DO NOT exceed the MAX fill line

About the Dispenser Drawer

Laundry products are diluted and dispensed

automatically at the proper time during the wash

cycle. The dispenser drawer has three

compartments (plus one removable bin) for adding

laundry products to the wash load. These

compartments are:

1

2

3

4

1 PreWash Detergent (With Bleach Bin

removed)

2 Detergent for the Wash Cycle

(Powder or Liquid)

3 Fabric Softener (Liquid)

4 Bleach (With Bleach Bin in place)

NOTE: Bleach option available in

cycle 1 (Super) wash ONLY

While not required, Splen -

dide recommends the use

of a High Efciency (HE)

detergent. HE detergents

are quick dissolving and

low sudsing and will deliver

optimum results in your

front-loading machine.

Synthetics: 7.5 lbs, Silk: 3.5 lbs, Wools: 3.5 lbs.

Maximum DRY CYCLE capacity - Cotton: 11 lbs.

Synthetics: 7.5 lbs - Wools: 3.5 lbs

Always allow space for air to flow around the

clothes when drying. In general, if your drying,

dont fill the drum more than 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Setting a

wash-to-dry

cycle

1) Select the wash cycle

• select a washing cycle using the Cycle Selector;

• select the wash water temperature using the

WASH TEMP knob;

• press available OPTION buttons (optional);

2) Select the dry time

• select the length of drying time with the DRY

TIME knob; (NOTE: Average loads will dry in 90

to 120 minutes)

3) Press the START button. When the wash cycle

ends, the appropriate dry cycle will start

automatically

18 Washing and drying

Splendide laundry tips

• Wash cycles are 35 to 100 minutes.

• Dry times for average sized loads are 70 to

120 minutes

• Wash cycles use 7 to 18 gal. of water. YOU

MAY NOT SEE WATER IN THE DRUM. This is

normal.

• The door automatically locks during the wash

and dry cycles. To unlock the door, access the

drum, then RESUME the cycle, see DOOR

LOCK LED on page 13.

Combine large and small items in one full load.

When washing single items such as a sweater,

towel or jeans, add 1 or 2 similar items to help

balance the load. Single, heavy items such as a

bathrobe can be washed separately.

Do not wash rugs that could come apart and

clog your machine.

For more delicate garments protect underwear,

tights, stockings and other small or delicate

items by placing them in a mesh laundry pouch

while washing and drying.

When using the ‘Wool’ cycle, for best results,

use a detergent that is for wool garments,

taking care not to wash more than 2.2 lbs.

For best results,

• DONT OVERLOAD THE DRUM. Keep up with

laundry by doing smaller loads every day or

two.

• DONT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DETERGENT

OR FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS.

• When going from was-to-dry automatically,

Always use a fabric softener (Or a Detergent

with built-in softeners) so clothes release from

the drum after the high speed spin.

• ONLY use Cotton Heavy Duty for heavy

cottons (towels, jeans, etc.)

• For items that may wrinkle, use Low Spin in

wash and Synthetics Dry

• To further prevent wrinkles, set a wash

ONLY cycle with LOW SPIN pressed. After the

wash cycle ends, remove large items (pants,

sheets, etc.) from the drum and shake them

out. Loosely fold them and place them back in

the drum. Then set a Synthetics Dry cycle with

LOW HEAT pressed.

• For mixed DRY CYCLE loads, remove items

that may wrinkle while still damp (dress shirts,

etc.) Hand press and hang them. Then,

continue drying the rest (underwear, towels,

etc.)

• NEVER OVER DRY LAUNDRY. Over drying is a

major cause of wrinkling. A certain amount of

humidity is what makes fabrics soft and fluffy.

WARNING!

During the drying phase, the door tends to get

quite hot.

Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have

been washed with flammable or chemical

solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).

This appliance can only be used to dry clothes

that have been pre-washed in water.

Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or

similar materials

Washing and drying 19

Sample wash-to-dry loads

To get you started, here are a few sample load sizes that

can go directly from wash through dry. NOTE: Data

purely indicative. Actual drying times will vary depend-

ing on type/weight of material.

Sample Load 1

 Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time:

120 min.

 2-3 Bath Towels (27 x 52 / all 100% cotton)

 2 Hand Towels (16 x 28)

 1-2 Wash Cloth(s) (13 x 13)

Sample Load 2

 Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty/ Dry Time:

70 to 120 min.

 1 Flat Sheet (90 x 102 / all 230 thread count)

 1 Fitted Sheet (60 x 80)

 2 Standard Queen Pillowcases (21 x 32)

 1 Sweatshirt (Large, 50% cotton, 50% polyester)

Combo laundry FAQ’s

Is using a combination washer-dryer much

dierent than what I’m use to?

Yes, in some ways. You are washing and drying

in the same drum and load sizes are smaller.

Wash cycles are similar, but because combina-

tion washer-dryers are compact and operate

using 115V (vs. 230V), dry times are longer.

Instead of washing several, bulky loads of

laundry in one day, you’ll learn to adjust your

laundry habits to launder smaller, more conve-

nient loads every day or two.

Why do I need to load my drum less full for ‘dry’

and ‘wash-to-dry’ cycles?

Your machine can wash larger loads than it can

dry. Remember, separate washers and dryers

have drums of dierent sizes (the dryer drum is

usually 2 times bigger), and your machine

washes and dries in the same drum. When you

program your machine to ‘dry’ or ‘wash-to-dry’

you must load the drum no more than 1/2 to

3/4 full. (NOTE: Automatic wash-to-dry not

available when Silk is selected)

What factors aect drying times?

Drying times depend largely on the type of

material (some bers absorb more water than

others), and the dampness of the articles when

drying is started (1200 RPM spin vs. 800- 600

RPM spin), and on the amount of laundry that is

being dried. Jeans, towels and similar (rather

thick) articles will take longer to dry.

20 Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance

Turning off the water or

electricity supply

Turn off the water supply after every wash. This

will limit the wear of your appliances water

system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your

appliance when cleaning it, while on vacation

and during all maintenance operations.

Cleaning your appliance

The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance

can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in

lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or

abrasives.

Cleaning the dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it

out. Wash it under running water; repeat as

needed.

Caring for your appliance

door and drum

When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar

to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.

Checking the water inlet

hoses

Check the water inlet hoses at least once a year.

Clean the filters and the water valves. If you see

any cracks, bulges or wear, replace hoses

immediately; During the wash cycles, water

pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could

easily split open.

IMPORTANT: Replace the inlet hoses at least

every ve years of use to reduce the risk of hose

failure. When replacing the inlet hoses, mark the

date of replacement on the label with a perma-

nent marker.

WARNING! Never use inlet hoses that have

already been used.
