HANDLING AND PLACEMENT
Disposal
Suffocation from plastic and folding cartons.
Please dispose of packing material and your old appliance in accordance with local regulations.
Inspect the Washer to ensure there is no damage.
Placement
Place the appliance away from direct sunlight, sources of heat and high humidity, and also away
from areas or moisture and exposure to cold temperatures.
Ensure the appliance is placed in a well-ventilated and dry environment.
Ensure that the appliance is placed on flat and stable ground. Adjust the 4 feet to make it level.
Any residual moisture inside the drum is due to the final testing which every washing machine
undergoes before leaving the factory. This is normal.
Ensure not to drag the appliance.
Ensure not to hold on to protruding parts when lifting.
DANGER
Keep children away from the shipping carton and packing material.
Before discarding the appliance, remove the door in order to prevent risk of child entrapment.

REMOVE SHIPPING BOLTS AND LEVEL
The free-floating drum inside the Combo is held in place during transport with 4 shipping bolts. (Fig. 1.)
Remove each shipping bolt along with the retainer, bush and washer. (Fig. 2.)
Failure to remove shipping bolts may cause severe vibration, noise and can lead
to permanent damage to the machine. IT WILL ALSO VOID THE WARRANTY.
It is important for the machine to be perfectly level. For this reason, the machine is fitted with adjustable
feet used for leveling the machine before use (Fig. 5.)
An adjustable wrench or 17mm open end wrench is required to loosen or tighten the leveling feet.
Close the holes left open by the bolts with the caps provided (Fig. 4).
Store all these parts for future use when moving the Combo to a new location. (Fig. 3.)
DO NOT transport the machine without reinstalling the shipping bolts.

ONLY USE THE WATER INLET HOSES THAT COME WITH THE MACHINE.
Reason: They are custom hoses. The L-Shaped side uses metric thread to fit the valve and the
straight side uses US pipe (NPT) thread. Replacement hoses will not fit the metric thread and will leak.

For small items such as socks and children’s clothes please use a mesh bag.
Note: The washer is designed to be used with a full and balanced load. If a small or half load of
clothes is put in the washer, it will be unbalanced causing the drum to rotate slowly during the
spin cycle and will not extract sufficient water. This will result in wet clothes at the end of the
cycle and will not be ready to put in the dryer.

PET CYCLE
Before loading clothes and sheets into the appliance, remove as much pet hair as possible in
order to prevent buildup and clogging of the drain pump. Wipe the surface of clothes and
sheets with a lint roller or a damp rubber glove to easily remove pet hair.
After the end of the wash cycle, run a quick wash cycle without clothes. After the cycle ends,
wipe down the drum with a damp cloth to collect any pet hair on the drum surface.
Each wash program has default temperature, spin speed and rinse settings. You can use
the buttons on the control panel to changes the defaults for most of the programs.
The total working time will vary with the laundry size, water pressure, water temperature and
ambient temperature etc.

PROGRAM
PURPOSE
HOW IT WORKS
ECO
Energy-efficient wash using
less water and power for
everyday cleaning.
Uses lower wash and rinse temperatures, longer cycle
times, and optimized drum motions to reduce power use.
Heavy
Deep cleaning for heavily
soiled items.
Uses higher water levels, stronger agitation, and hotter
water. May include an extra rinse or pre-wash.
Quiet 60’
Minimize noise during
operation.
Reduces spin speed and slows drum movement to lower
vibration and sound.
Sanitize
o
160
Kills germs, bacteria, and
allergens.
Heats water to very high temperatures (up to ~160 -
170°F / 70-75°C).
PET Cycle*
Remove pet hair and odors.
(See instructions below)
Uses extra rinse cycles, higher water levels, and
sometimes soak to loosen fur and dander.
Self Clean
Cleans the washer drum itself.
Runs hot with extra water and strong agitation (empty).
Some machines suggest adding a cleaning tablet or
vinegar.
Allergen
o
131
Reduce common allergens
like dust mites and pollen.
Uses high-temperature water and an extended wash
cycle to break down and flush away allergens.
Winterize
Prepare the machine for cold
weather or storage (to prevent
freezing damage).
Drains all water from the hoses, pump, and internal
parts. Some versions circulate antifreeze through the
system.
Baby Wash
Gently but thoroughly clean
baby clothes, while removing
detergent residues and germs.
Ÿ Gentle drum movements protect delicate fabrics like
cotton and soft baby wear.
Ÿ Uses higher water temperatures (often around 140-
160°F / 60-70°C) to sanitize fabrics and kill bacteria.
Ÿ Includes extra rinse cycles to ensure no detergent
residue remains - important for babies sensitive skin.
