Important Safety Instructions - Splendide WDC1024M Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT
Make sure the drain hose is not kinked and the water
flow is not restricted.
Standpipe Drain System:
When a stanpipe installation is used it must be at least
1¼" (3.2 cm) in diameter with a minimum carry away
capacity of 7 gallons (26 liters) per minute.
Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain:
Top of standpipe must be at least 25" (62 cm) high and no
higher than 34" (86 cm) from bottom of washer (A & B).
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).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.
• 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
regularly.
