Inlet hose must be attached to both washer/dryer and cold water
supply faucet and have water flowing to inlet valve.
Cold water faucet must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer/dryer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hoses.
The suds from non-HE detergent can cause the washer/dryer
to operate incorrectly.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure detergent and follow
manufacturer's directions based on load size and soil level.
Avoid tightly packing the washer/dryer. The washer/dryer will not
rinse well if tightly packed. Load with dry items only. See "Cycle
Guides" for load size recommendation.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only one or two garments after washer/dryer has started.
When load imbalance occurs, a washing process will start
to redistribute the load. This may lengthen the cycle time.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item, such as
a rug or jeans jacket, with a few extra items.
Most cycles allow for the option of additional rinses. See "Cycle
Guides" and Step 11 in "Using the All-In-One Washer/Dryer" for
additional rinse options.
Add load loosely. Items need to move freely to reduce wrinkling
and tangling. See "Cycle Guides" for load size recommendation.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Select a lower spin speed. Note that items will be wetter than
when using a higher spin speed.
Unload the washer/dryer as soon as it stops or use the Tumble
Fresh option if you will not be able to unload the washer/dryer at
the end of the cycle.
Choose the "Delicates" What to Wash cycle selection or another
cycle selection with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.
Add load loosely. Items need to move freely for best cleaning.
See "Cycle Guides" for load size recommendation.
