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 serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.  
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.  
PLUMBING (Water Inlet)  
MODELS: WDB1043-LWD1054M-WDC1025-  
WDC1025M  
The straight end of these hoses should be connected to the  
supply (Fig. 4). The 90° angled end of these hoses should be  
connected to the inlet valves on the back of the machine,  
using one of the washers to make a water tight seal on each  
connection. The couplings should be tightened by hand, a  
tool should only be used if a leak occurs.  
Do not use excessive force (see M, Fig. 1).  
The Inlet valves are color-coded:  
Red = Hot  
White = Cold  
It is possible to run the machine on cold water only, but a  
water supply must be connected to each inlet valve. To do  
this we suggest you use "F" connector, supplied with the  
washer-dryer (see N, Fig. 2).  
MODELS: WDS1043-SWD1054M-WDC1024-  
WDC1024M  
PLUMBING (Water Outlet)  
You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks  
and ensure proper drainage of the water.  
The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 20" (50 cm)  
above the base of the machine. At this point it is possible for  
the water to be discharged into a sink, standpipe or drainpipe.  
No more than 6" of the drain hose should insert into a stand-  
pipe. Assure an air break is available to prevent the machine  
from siphoning in a standpipe.  
Page 3

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 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.  
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  
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic  
precautions, including the following:  
Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously  
cleaned washed or spotted with gasoline dry cleaning  
solvents or other flammable or explosive substances as  
they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.  
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.  
Close supervision of children is necessary.  
Before the appliance is removed from service or  
discarded remove the door to the washer-dryer  
compartment.  
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
LAUNDRY PREPARATION  
Sorting  
Clothes should be sorted to separate items which could damage other garments. Sort items into loads according to  
similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of soil.  
Color - Separate clothes into three groups: whites and Garment constructions - Garments that fray easily or  
pastels medium and bright colors and dark colors.  
Items which bleed color should be washed alone.  
Type of fabrics - Delicate items should be separated  
from sturdier items. Fabrics that shed lint should be  
separated from those which shed none or attract lint.  
that have unusual trim require gentle care. These gar-  
ments may be washed in the front loader using the knit  
cycle. If garments are fragile and delicate hand wash-  
ing may be desirable.  
Degree of soil - Heavily soiled items should be sepa-  
rated from the rest of the wash to prevent transfer of  
soil in the wash water.  
Inspection  
While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each garment to see if it requires special care.  
Remove stains while they are fresh and easy to get Fasten all hooks zippers and buttons.  
out. Try cold water first to remove unknown stains.  
Hot water sets stains containing protein such as blood,  
egg, meat and milk. To remove difficult stains, refer to  
the Stain Removal Chart at the end of this book.  
Pre-treat heavily soiled areas such as collars cuffs and  
centers of pillow cases. Refer to the "Pre-treating"  
section for specific instructions.  
Turn knit garments wrong side out to reduce the  
tendency of knits to "pill". Fabric "pills" are balls of  
fiber on the surface of the garment caused by wear or  
friction.  
Remove loose dirt and sand. Brush dirt from trouser  
cuffs. Shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose surface  
soil.  
Mend rips and tears before washing so further damage  
is not done to garments.  
If buckle is washable place a scrap of material  
securely around the ornament before washing and  
drying to prevent scratching and damage to the  
machine. Remove non-wash-able trims, buckles,  
buttons and belts.  
Empty pockets. Objects left in pockets such as crayons  
pens markers or tobacco crumbs may stain an entire  
wash load. Paper tissues will shred leaving bits on  
each item in the washer. Remove coins and other  
foreign objects to prevent damage to the machine.  
Tie strings, belts and apron sashes into bows to avoid  
tangling during washing.  
Pre-treating  
Laundry Aids  
Pre-treat heavily soiled areas such as collars, cuffs and Detergents are the most popular cleaning agents for  
centers of pillow cases by using a pre-wash spray, or home laundry. Using too little detergent results in poor

Drain Screen  
WASHER FEATURES  
The removable drain screen which protects the pump  
from lint and foreign matter needs to be cleaned periodi-  
cally. How often will depend on your wash load, e.g.  
cotton towels cause more lint to collect than nylon loads.  
Open the service door by pressing on the left hand side.  
Turn drain screen counter-clockwise and pull the drain  
screen out. Have a cloth or shallow tray under the drain  
screen housing, as a small quantity of water may run out.  
You may find it helpful to first set the machine to spin,  
allow the unit to start, then remove the drain screen once  
unit starts. This procedure reduces the amount of water  
released.  
ON-OFF Button  
After the clothes have been loaded and the desired water  
temperature and cycle selected, pressing the ON-OFF  
button causes the cycle to begin.  
Medium/High Spin Button  
When the button is pressed, the spin speed will be  
reduced from high to low during the regular cycle.  
High/Heat Half/Heat Button  
When this button is pressed, the half heat drying  
temperature is obtained. Release for maximum heat. Half  
heat should only be used with delicate fabrics.  
Clean the screen under running water to help remove any  
lint. Replace the screen by sliding back into the housing  
within 3 minutes. Lastly turn clockwise to secure.  
Under no circumstances should the drain screen be  
removed while the machine is full of water.  
Wash Timer  
Enables the operator to select the wash program required  
according to the type of fabric and degree of soiling.  
Refer to the program chart on page 10 & 11.  
Water Cycle Selector  
Allows operator to select the temperature of the wash/  
rinse water.  
Detergent Dispenser  
The detergent dispenser is designed so detergent,  
additives and bleach will flush automatically into your  
machine.  
Use only 1 to 2 tablespoons of powder detergent or liquid  
equivalent.  
For Models WDB1043M-LWD1054M-WDC1025-  
WDC1025M  
It is divided into 4 compartments, for cold wash, hot  
wash, detergents, additives (i.e. fabric softeners) and  
bleach.  
Drying Timer  
This control allows you to preset the drying time you  
want according to your requirements which may be  
"damp dry", "ready for ironing" or "dry" ready for  
putting away. The drying time depends largely on the  
type of material (some fibers absorb more water than  
others), the dampness of the articles when the drying is  
started and the amount of laundry. Table napkins, towels,  
and similar (rather thick) articles will take a longer time  
to dry. After all the controls have been correctly set, the  
dryer will start to operate as soon as you close the door.  
During operation the Drying Timer will gradually return  
to the "Stop" position "O". The final 12 minutes of the  
drying cycle is the cooling phase. At the end of this  
cooling phase it will automatically switch itself off.  
For Models WDS1043M-SWD1054M-WDC1024-  
WDC1024M  
It is divided into 3 compartments , for cold wash, hot  
wash, detergents, additives (i.e. fabric softeners).  
At the end of the wash program, any remaining liquids  
will be automatically siphoned out leaving the dispenser  
ready for the next wash.  
A small amount of water may remain in compartment  
"C" and/or "D" at the end of the wash program. This can  
easily be removed by pouring a small additional amount  
of water into this compartment, which allows the siphon  
to operate and draw all the water into the machine.  
Note: The detergent dispenser drawer and housing  
should be cleaned to prevent a build up of detergent and  
fabric softener. This dispenser drawer is easily removed  
by pulling out. Rinse it under the tap, dry and replace.  
On Models WDS1043M-SWD1054M-WDC1024-  
WDC1024M the locking mechanism on the center  
divider must be released.  
Cool Drying Period  
Towards the end of the tumble-drying cycle there is a  
cool drying period which lasts about 12 minutes.  
The heater is off during this period, while the machine  
continues to tumble.  
When setting a wash/dry cycle the dryer pre-heats the  
drum during the final spin on all cycles.  
The cooling feature helps minimize creasing, and is  
particularly important with synthetic fabrics. It is also  
important to cool snaps, zippers, buttons and the machine  
interior. Practice will soon tell you just how much drying  
time to allow to get the effect you want.

HOW TO WASH  
Operating Steps  
After washing and drying are complete the hot and cold  
water faucets should be turned off and push the ON/  
OFF switch. Wipe the inside off the washer door and  
rubber boot with a soft cloth or sponge to remove any  
remaining moisture.  
Before using the washer for the first time, wipe the inside  
and outside with a damp cloth to remove any travel dust  
that has accumulated and we recommend operating a rinse  
cycle to rinse out your machine.  
Be sure the hot and cold water faucets are turned on fully.  
Make sure that the power cord is plugged in and that the  
circuit is energized.  
Once the machine is started in the wash cycle, for your  
safety, the door is automatically locked and cannot be  
opened. Attempting to open the door may break the  
handle or the latch. If for some reason the door must be  
opened during the cycle, operate in the following way:  
Press push button OFF.  
To familiarize you with a load of convenience we suggest  
"Your First Load" be typical queen-size bedding. This  
machine may be set to wash and dry automatically in any  
cycle. Single-size sets will dry quicker and king-size  
longer. Different types of materials may benefit from  
being shaken out once the dry cycle has run long enough  
(approximately 2 minutes) to allow the door to be opened.  
It is important the clothes are able to tumble freely to  
allow the drying process to occur. Dry times of over 100  
minutes indicate an over load condition that has resulted  
in a loss of dry performance.  
Turn timer knob to spin position.  
Press push button ON and wait until water is  
discharged.  
Press push button OFF and wait at least 2 minutes for  
door lock to open.  
To restart go back to "Operating Steps".  
Pre-Wash  
On more heavily soiled wash loads a pre-wash will help to  
obtain a better wash. It will disperse any superficial dirt  
and help loosen soil ready for the main wash.  
To pre-wash, select the main wash cycle you wish to use.  
Then turn the timer knob to the pre-wash setting  
immediately preceding the regular cycle. If pre-wash with  
detergent is required, the detergent must also be added in  
compartment "A" of detergent dispenser. After the  
pre-wash is completed the machine will automatically  
perform the regular wash.  
NOTE: When you set a combined program of washing  
and tumble-drying, the cylinder must not be loaded with  
more than the required load size stated earlier in this  
manual.  
Judge this load by the dry times achieved. Dry times of  
over 100 minutes indicate an overload condition that has  
Your First Load  
Use only 1 to 2 tablespoons of powder detergent or  
liquid equivalent. For cold/cold wash and rinse add  
detergent to dispenser "A"; for all other wash cycles,  
add detergent to dispenser "B". Refer to Wash Table for  
other additive options.  
Set the wash timer to regular wash. Set the water  
selector to the desired wash rinse temperatures.  
Set the heat and spin buttons to the out positions.  
Set the dry timer to 80 minutes (100 minutes for  
WDC1024M) (This automatically includes a 12 minute  
cool down).  
Place a set of queen-size sheets and pillow-cases in the  
drum loosely.  
Push the on button.  
Water will begin to enter the drum and the wash cycle resulted in a loss of dry performance.  
will start. Wash time will be approximately 60 minutes,  
upon completion, the machine will automatically start  
to dry the load. When the dryer has completely finished  
it's cycle the machine will automatically stop.

LAUNDRY AIDS  
Detergent Amount Recommendations  
Bleach  
Use only a low sudsing detergent, one or two table-  
spoons (maximum) of the standard powder detergent  
or liquid equivalent.  
Bleach functions to whiten clothes, remove certain  
problem stains, to deodorize and in some cases to  
sanitize; however bleaching is not a substitute for good  
laundry techniques. Bleach only during the wash cycle.  
Bleach should never be added to the rinse water. Always  
dilute bleach before using.  
The degree of soil will change detergents amounts.  
For heavier soiled loads, increase the amount of deter-  
gent used, for lightly soiled loads decrease the amount  
of detergent used.  
To add bleach, open detergent dispenser door and pour it  
in compartment “C” front left. Model LWD1054M,  
WDC1025, WDC1025M.  
If water is extremely hard, detergent should be  
increased. Reduced detergent amounts should be used  
in soft water (under 3.5 grains per gallon).  
WARNING: Under no circumstances overfill the bleach  
dispenser. Excessive bleach will run directly into the  
machine, and may damage the clothes.  
If garments have been pre-treated, decrease the  
amount of detergent. If garments have been heavily  
pre-treated, it may not be necessary to add detergent.  
If the previous machine owned was a top loader, the  
initial wash loads in a front loader may require a  
reduced amount of detergent until the detergent  
remaining in the clothes is removed. Old detergent  
trapped in the garments will be released during the  
tumble action wash cycle.  
Liquid Fabrics Softeners  
All fabrics, particularly towels and diapers, benefit from  
the use of fabric conditioners in the final rinse. Items of  
laundry feel softer, are more easily ironed and the  
clinging affect of synthetics is considerably reduced.  
We recommend using a bio-friendly softener or other  
softeners that appear light or white in color and have a  
more liquid consistency. These type products are found  
to dissolve more thoroughly in less water in this type  
machine.  
Add one to two tablespoons of softener to the  
“Additives” compartment of the detergent dispenser.  
Under no circumstances overfill, as the softener will  
immediately siphon into the machine and in so doing  
impair the wash results.  
Detergent will be flushed automatically into the machine  
from the detergent dispenser. The suds level should never  
rise more than halfway up the porthole. Too much foam  
will not only impede the wash action of your machine  
but will rinse through the detergent dispenser and make a  
mess on the floor!  
If this should happen clear excessive suds by setting  
the timer to the beginning of the first rinse and allow  
the machine to rinse out.
