3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the 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.
5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new
location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final
product check.
WASHER USE
Loading
For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE selector to the highest load size setting.
Starting Your Washer
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.
■ 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. Do not
use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Follow
manufacturer’s directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
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.
■ 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.
NOTE: Your washer/dryer does not come with a fabric
softener dispenser installed.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
