models).

Getting the most out of your All-In-One Washer & Dryer:

Your new machine is configured to run wash & dry cycles by

default. You also have the option to run Wash Only cycles or Dry

Only cycles. Refer to the Cycle Guide for additional details.

For optimal drying results and to avoid wrinkling of clothes, do

not load clothes more than half full. Since this unit uses a

ventless drying technology, expect longer dry times compared to

a vented dryer.
