Checking Your Vent  
Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented for the  
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for  
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self-  
installed.  
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm)  
metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal  
vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate  
exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your  
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.  
dryer to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying  
times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances  
(found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow  
of combustion and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions  
for more information.  
WARNING  
2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.  
3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.  
Fire Hazard  
Use a heavy metal vent.  
Do not use a plastic vent.  
Do not use a metal foil vent.  
4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or  
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent  
to secure vent.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death  
or fire.  
5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at  
least every 2 years, or when installing your washer/dryer in a  
new location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the

Starting Your Washer  
Style 1: With Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some  
models)  
WARNING  
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour  
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.  
Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of  
the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the  
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the  
crossbar in the dispenser opening.  
Fire Hazard  
Never place items in the washer that are dampened  
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.  
No washer can completely remove oil.  
Style 2: Without Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some  
models)  
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on  
it (including cooking oils).  
In the final rinse ONLY, add fabric softener that has been  
diluted with ¹⁄₂ to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.  
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.  
4. Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the  
lid open.  
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add  
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Drop a sorted load of  
clothes loosely into your washer.  
5. Turn the WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your  
wash load and the type of fabric being washed. You may  
change the load size or water level selection after the washer  
has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.  
6. Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the  
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water  
safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.  
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and  
small items. Items should move easily through the wash  
water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.  
2. (OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach.  
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Never  
use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Follow  
manufacturers directions for safe use. Use a cup with a  
pouring spout to avoid spilling.  
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF (21ºC),  
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to  
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have  
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the  
surface of garments).  
Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load. Add bleach to  
the wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour  
bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load.  
7. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the  
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a  
small load size setting. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start  
the washer.  
Follow directions on the care labels. Do not use chlorine  
bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates, or some flame-  
retardant fabrics.  
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches.  
The damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and  
may not show up until several washings later.  
3. (OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Fabric Softener.  
To stop or restart your washer:  
NOTE: Your washer/dryer does not come with a fabric  
softener dispenser installed.  
To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle  
Control knob.  
To find out whether your model allows fabric softener  
dispenser usage and for ordering information, refer to the front  
page of this manual or call the dealer from whom you  
purchased your washer/dryer. Ask for Part Number 3350834.  
To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out the  
Cycle Control knob.  
NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.  
Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric  
softener with warm water. Too much fabric softener can make  
some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this  
happens, do not use it in every load, or use less of it in each  
load.

WASHER/DRYER CARE  
Cleaning Your Washer  
Cleaning the Lint Screen  
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as  
detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.  
Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint  
can increase drying time.  
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine  
bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this mixture into  
your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water.  
Repeat this process if necessary.  
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as  
washer safe.  
IMPORTANT:  
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,  
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and  
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.  
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check  
the exhaust hood and remove the lint.

or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener only.  
Pull out the lint screen and its cover.  
2. Separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the screen  
and pulling on the cover at the same time.  
3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash  
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.  
Water Inlet Hoses  
4. Put the lint screen and cover back together and push firmly  
back into place.  
Style 2:  
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose  
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,  
kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.  
1. The lint screen is located inside the dryer in the front door well.  
Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your  
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is  
hard to remove.  
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on  
the label with a permanent marker.

Non-use or vacation care  
Cleaning the Dryer Interior  
Operate your washer/dryer only when you are at home. If you will  
be on vacation or not using your washer/dryer for an extended  
period of time, you should:  
1. Apply a nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area  
of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.  
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.  
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.  
NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim  
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer  
interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not  
stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside-out to  
prevent dye transfer.  
Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.  
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid  
accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you  
are away.

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be  
balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely  
during washing.  
Wash temperature not what I selected  
Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed? See the  
Installation Instructions for more information. As your  
frequency of loads washed increases, the water temperature  
may decrease for hot and warm temperature selections. This  
is normal.  
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some  
synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space.  
Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles, or are  
you using warm rinses? If safe for the load, use warm or hot  
wash water. Use cold rinse water.

mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from  
whites and lights.  
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be  
balanced and not overloaded. Clothes should move freely.  
Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded. Wash smaller  
loads.  
Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm  
washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system  
is adequate enough to provide a hot water wash.  
Did you select the correct water level? The water level  
should be correct for the load size. Clothes should move freely  
in the water.  
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard  
water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or  
hard water.  
Did you use enough detergent? Follow manufacturers  
directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water.  
Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check to be  
sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right

Match dryer setting to load type.  
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint,  
restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes.  
Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air  
movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust  
system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or  
flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.  
Odors  
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in  
the area where your washer/dryer is located? If so,  
ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the  
area, rewash and dry the clothing.  
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy  
metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.  
If the dryer is electric, is it being used for the first time?  
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor  
will be gone after the first cycle.  
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one  
fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.  
Is the washer/dryer located in a room with temperature  
below 45ºF (7ºC)? Proper operation of dryer cycles requires  
temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).  
Garment damage  
Check the following:  
Were zippers, snaps, and hooks left open?  
Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?  
Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water and  
with items that hold moisture (cottons).  
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?  
Were care label instructions followed?  
Were items damaged before drying?  
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the  
load to tumble freely.
