Sensing/Revising Estimated Time (Témoin de détection/ mise à jour de la durée estimée) La durée du programme varie automatiquement en fonction de la pression et de la température de l'eau, du détergent et de la charge de linge. La laveuse détecte automatiquement la progression du programme et ajuste l'affichage de la durée restante estimée. Alors que la laveuse est en phase de détection, l'affichage de la durée restante estimée est remplacé par des chenillards. Une fois la détection terminée, l'animation s'arrête et la durée restante estimée est mise à jour. La durée du programme sera prolongée en cas d'excès de mousse ou si la charge est déséquilibrée. Voir "Dépannage". L'affichage du temps se mettra en pause pendant la procédure de déséquilibrage jusqu'à ce que cette procédure soit terminée, puis reprendra en même temps que le programme. ECO Monitor (ECO-moniteur) La laveuse est spécialement conçue pour économiser de l'eau et de l'énergie. Chaque programme, ainsi que toute option sélectionnée, entraînera une consommation d'énergie. Chaque programme, ainsi que toute option sélectionnée, entraînera une consommation d'énergie et d'eau différente. Si l'on utilise l'ÉCO-moniteur, sélectionner le programme le mieux adapté aux tissus à laver puis ajuster la température et les options de vitesse d'essorage pour améliorer le niveau de consommation d'énergie avec ce programme. Programmes Pour sélectionner un programme, tourner le bouton de commande au programme désiré. Chaque programme est conçu pour différents types de tissu et niveaux de saleté.

Laundry Tips	19
Preparing clothes for washing	19
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular deterge...	19
Use only HE detergent.	19
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.	19
Empty pockets and turn them inside out.	19
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.	19
Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.	19
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.	19
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.	19
Treat spots and stains.	19
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.	19
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.	19
Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bag. To create a balanced load, it is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.	19
Sorting	19
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out.	19
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.	19
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).	19
Unloading	19
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.	19
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.	19

Is the washer gurgling or humming? As water is drained from the washer, you may hear air being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end of draining. It is normal.	23
Are you washing items with metal snaps, buckles, or zippers? You may hear metal items touching the washer drum. This is normal.	23
Is washer installed on a sturdy and solid floor? Refer to the “Installation Instructions” for flooring requirements. Noise and vibration may be reduced by securing a piece of ¾\	23

Check household plumbing for leaks.	23
Are the inlet hose connections tight? For inlet hose connections, see “Connect the Inlet Hoses.”	23
Dispensers clogged or leaking	23
Are the laundry products in the correct dispenser compartment? Add the correct amounts of detergent, fabric softener or liquid chlorine bleach to the correct compartments. Add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to the high efficiency “HE” deter...	23

Are you using HE detergent? Use of non-HE detergent can cause a film residue which can result in odor.	23
Did you leave the door open after use? This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid odors, leave the door open to allow the washer to dry between uses.	23
Load too wet	23
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.	23
Did you wash a single item or bulky items or have you overloaded the washer? A single item, bulky items, or overloading may cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute your wet laundry in the drum, and start a DRAIN/SPIN cycle. If the laun...	23
Did you select the NightQuiet™ option? NightQuiet™ uses slower spin speeds to reduce washer sound in the final spin. Less water is removed. This is normal.	23
Residue or lint on load	23
Did you add detergent to the dispenser? For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.	23
Did you sort properly? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.	23
Did you overload the washer? Do not overload the washer. The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. The wash load must be balanced. Lint can be trapped in the load if the washer is overloaded.	23
Check the following: Was paper or tissue left in pockets?	23
Did you use enough HE detergent? Use enough detergent to remove lint and hold it in suspension. Use only HE detergent. Follow the manufacturer`s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.	23
Is your water colder than 60°F (15.6°C)? Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.	23
Are you using a low-speed wash cycle? Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles such as Delicate.	23
Stains on load	24
Did you add detergent to the dispenser? For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.	24
Did you use enough HE detergent? Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. Use only HE detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.	24
Is there above average iron (rust) in water? You may need to install an iron filter.	24
Did you properly sort the load? Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.	24
Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid the transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it stops.	24
Did you use a fabric softener dispensing ball? Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. Add liquid fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment.	24
Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent.	24
Did you use Quick Wash on a large load? For best results, use Quick Wash for small, lightly soiled loads.	24
Load is wrinkled	24
Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops.	24
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Delicate or another cycle with a low-spin speed to reduce wrinkling.	24
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during washing.	24
Gray whites, dingy colors	24
Did you properly sort the load? The transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.	24
Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.	24
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.	24
Cycle too long	24
Did you choose the Deep Clean with Steam option? In this case, the heater and steamer will be activated to provide maximum cleaning performance. Additional time will be added to the regular cycle to heat the water. This additional time will depend on...	24
Is the hot water inlet set to the recommended temperature of 120°F (49°C)? A hot water temperature below the recommended setting will increase heating time.	24
Is “Sud” shown in the display and the “Suds Rinse” indicator light on? Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has been started to reduce excessive suds. This routine will add time to the original cycle.	24
Did you wash a large load using the Quick Wash cycle? The Quick Wash Cycle is designed for smaller load sizes (2-3 items of lightly soiled garments). If larger loads are washed using this cycle, wash time will be increased.	24
Did you wash a large load using a gentle cycle? When using the Delicate cycles you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.	24
Did the load cause imbalance? When too much imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to redistribute the load. During the imbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the ...	24
Door locked at end of wash cycle	24
Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin? Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.	24

Sensing/Revising Estimated Time (Témoin de détection/

mise à jour de la durée estimée)

La durée du programme varie automatiquement en fonction de la

pression et de la température de l'eau, du détergent et de la charge

de linge.

La laveuse détecte automatiquement la progression du programme

et ajuste l'affichage de la durée restante estimée. Alors que la

laveuse est en phase de détection, l’affichage de la durée restante

estimée est remplacé par des chenillards. Une fois la détection

terminée, l’animation s’arrête et la durée restante estimée est mise

à jour.

La durée du programme sera prolongée en cas d'excès de mousse

ou si la charge est déséquilibrée. Voir “Dépannage”. L'affichage du

temps se mettra en pause pendant la procédure de déséquilibrage

jusqu'à ce que cette procédure soit terminée, puis reprendra en

même temps que le programme.
