What to Do
Check that the plug has been correctly inserted into the socket and that there is
electricity to the plug. Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset
breaker. Washer should have separate outlet.
Close the door.
Move the program selector knob (A) to one of the Reset positions to cancel the
program. Then reset the controls without setting the delay start.
Turn both hot and cold faucets fully ON. Make sure hoses are not kinked or pinched.
Make sure that the program selector knob (A) is set to a Dry position and that the Dry
Time knob (C) is set to your desired dry time.
Make sure that the drain hose is positioned properly (p. 5).
Follow the "When Needed, Check the Pump" directions (p. 17) to remove any debris
from the pumps pre-chamber.
Follow the "Choosing A Load" (p. 12) instructions in this manual for recommended load
sizes for drying.
Turn the cold water tap ON. Cold water is essential to your machine's condensing
drying process.
Always use the correct amount of fabric softener and low-sudsing detergent. Over
time, continual over-sudsing can clog up the condensing chamber and fan blower with
lint particles and reduce drying efficiency. If needed, an internal condenser cleaning kit
is available from Splendide for purchase with instructions. NOTE: The interior of the
machine should be cleaned periodically by a qualified service technician.
Excess wash time may create lint. Select a shorter wash cycle (p. 9).
Try a liquid detergent and/or use a warmer temperature setting.
Make sure the drum is not overloaded. For wash loads, you should be able to close
the door easily; items should not be tightly packed.
Dispensing balls will not operate correctly in this machine. Add liquid fabric softener to
the fabric softener compartment.
Consider using liquid detergent in wash cycles with low spin.
For best results, use Express wash for small, lightly soiled loads.
Avoid mixing heavy fabrics with light fabrics.
Load your dryer so clothes have enough room to move freely in the drum while drying.
Match cycle selection to type of fabric you are using. Repeated washing in water that
is too hot may cause wrinkling.
Use the recommended amount of fabric softener during the wash cycle.
