3. Une fois le tuyau de vidange en place, relâcher la prise de la pince. Immobilisation du tuyau de vidange 1. Faire passer le cordon d'alimentation par-dessus la laveuse. 2. Fixer le tuyau de vidange au pied de l'évier de buanderie ou au tuyau rigide de rejet à l'égout avec la courroie perlée fournie. (Voir les illustrations A et B.) 4. Le système de vidange de la laveuse peut être installé à l'aide d'un conduit d'évacuation au plancher, un tuyau de rejet à l'égout mural (rigide), un tuyau de rejet à l'égout au plancher (rigide) ou un évier de buanderie. Le tuyau doit être bien immobilisé, tout en permettant le passage de l'air. Décharge de l'eau de lavage dans un évier de buanderie ou tuyau de rejet à l'égout Connecter la bride de retenue pour tuyau de vidange sur le tuyau de vidange ondulé. A B C Si les robinets d'eau et le tuyau rigide de rejet à l'égout sont placés en retrait (voir illustration C), introduire l'extrémité en col de cygne du tuyau de vidange dans le tuyau rigide de rejet à l'égout. Attacher fermement les tuyaux d'arrivée d'eau et le tuyau de vidange ensemble, avec la courroie perlée. Ne pas forcer l'excédent du tuyau de vidange dans le tuyau rigide de rejet à l'égout. Réglage de l'aplomb de la laveuse Un bon aplomb de la laveuse évite le bruit et les vibrations excessifs. 1. Utiliser un niveau placé sur le bord supérieur de la laveuse pour contrôler l'aplomb, d'abord transversalement, puis dans le sens avant arrière. A B A. Emboîter une extrémité ou l'autre de la bride de retenue pour tuyau de vidange sur le tuyau de vidange, au point de commencement des ondulations. B. Plier le tuyau de vidange pour le mettre au contact de la bride de retenue du tuyau de vidange, et l'emboîter pour la mise en place. Pour empêcher l'eau de vidange de refluer dans la laveuse : ■ Ne pas redresser le tuyau de vidange ni forcer l'excédent de tuyau dans le tuyau de rejet à l'égout. Le tuyau doit être bien immobilisé, tout en permettant le passage d'air. ■ Ne pas mettre l'excédent du tuyau de vidange dans le fond de l'évier de buanderie. Égout au plancher Il vous faudra peut-être des pièces supplémentaires. Voir Égout au plancher dans "Outillage et pièces". Si la laveuse est placée contre un mur, on doit l'écarter légèrement du mur avant de l'incliner vers l'arrière. Si la laveuse n'est pas d'aplomb, soulever l'avant de la laveuse avec une cale de bois et ajuster la position des pieds selon le besoin; soulever ensuite l'arrière de la laveuse et ajuster la longueur des pieds selon le besoin. Répéter ces opérations jusqu'à l'obtention d'un aplomb correct de la laveuse. 2. S'assurer que les quatre pieds de nivellement sont bien stables et en contact avec le sol. Puis vérifier que la laveuse est parfaitement d'aplomb (à l'aide d'un niveau). 3. Après avoir établi l'aplomb correct de la laveuse, utiliser une clé plate de 17 mm pour serrer l'écrou de chaque pied contre la caisse de la laveuse. IMPORTANT : Les 4 pieds doivent être bien serrés. Si les écrous ne sont pas bloqués contre la caisse de la laveuse, la laveuse peut vibrer. 4. La laveuse ne doit pas bouger d'avant en arrière, latéralement ou transversalement lorsqu'on appuie sur les bords supérieurs. 5. Faire glisser la laveuse à son emplacement final. 6. Vérifier le bon aplomb de la laveuse. 31

Laundry Tips	18
Preparing clothes for washing	18
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...	18
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.	18
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.	18
Empty pockets and turn them inside out.	18
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.	18
Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.	18
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.	18
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.	18
Treat spots and stains.	18
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.	18
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.	18
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.	18
Sorting	18
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.	18
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.	18
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).	18
Unloading	18
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.	18
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.	18
Loading	18

Are you using AFFRESH® washer cleaner on a regular basis? AFFRESH® washer cleaner removes and avoids odor-causing residue in all High Efficiency washers. For washers where odor is present, use 3 tablets instead of 1 tablet. After the CLEAN WASHER W...	22
Are you using HE detergent? Use of non-HE detergent can cause a film residue which can result in odor.	22
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.	22
Load too wet	22
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.	22
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...	22
Residue or lint on load	22
Did you add detergent to the dispenser? For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.	22
Did you sort properly? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.	22
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 overloaded.	22
Check the following: Was paper or tissue left in pockets?	22
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.	22
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.	22
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 and Hand Washables.	22
Stains on load	22
Did you add detergent to the dispenser? For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.	22
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.	22
Is there above average iron (rust) in water? You may need to install an iron filter.	22
Did you properly sort the load? Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.	22
Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid the transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it stops.	22
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.	22
Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent.	22
Load is wrinkled	22
Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops.	22
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Delicate, Hand Washables, or another cycle with a low-spin speed to reduce wrinkling.	22
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during washing.	22
Gray whites, dingy colors	22
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.	22
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.	22
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.	22
Cycle too long	22
Did you choose the Sanitary cycle? The heater 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 the load size and the hot water inlet t...	22
Is “SUD” shown in the display? Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has been started to destroy excessive suds. This routine will add time to the original cycle.	22
Did you wash a large load using a gentle cycle? When using the Delicate and Hand Washables cycles you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.	22
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 ...	22
Door locked at end of wash cycle	22
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.	22

Une fois le tuyau de vidange en place, relâcher la prise de la

pince.

Le système de vidange de la laveuse peut être installé à l’aide

d’un conduit d'évacuation au plancher, un tuyau de rejet à l’égout

mural (rigide), un tuyau de rejet à l’égout au plancher (rigide) ou un

évier de buanderie.

Le tuyau doit être bien immobilisé, tout en permettant le

passage de l’air.

Immobilisation du tuyau de vidange

Faire passer le cordon d'alimentation par-dessus la laveuse.

Fixer le tuyau de vidange au pied de l'évier de buanderie ou

au tuyau rigide de rejet à l'égout avec la courroie perlée

fournie. (Voir les illustrations A et B.)

Si les robinets d'eau et le tuyau rigide de rejet à l'égout sont

placés en retrait (voir illustration C), introduire l'extrémité en

col de cygne du tuyau de vidange dans le tuyau rigide de rejet

à l'égout. Attacher fermement les tuyaux d'arrivée d'eau et le

tuyau de vidange ensemble, avec la courroie perlée.

Ne pas forcer l'excédent du tuyau de vidange dans le tuyau rigide

de rejet à l'égout.

Réglage de l'aplomb de la laveuse

Un bon aplomb de la laveuse évite le bruit et les vibrations

excessifs.

Utiliser un niveau placé sur le bord supérieur de la laveuse

pour contrôler l'aplomb, d'abord transversalement, puis dans

le sens avant arrière.

Si la laveuse est placée contre un mur, on doit l'écarter

légèrement du mur avant de l'incliner vers l'arrière. Si la

laveuse n'est pas d'aplomb, soulever l'avant de la laveuse

avec une cale de bois et ajuster la position des pieds selon le

besoin; soulever ensuite l'arrière de la laveuse et ajuster la

longueur des pieds selon le besoin. Répéter ces opérations

jusqu'à l'obtention d'un aplomb correct de la laveuse.

S'assurer que les quatre pieds de nivellement sont bien

stables et en contact avec le sol. Puis vérifier que la laveuse

est parfaitement d'aplomb (à l'aide d'un niveau).

Après avoir établi l'aplomb correct de la laveuse, utiliser une

clé plate de 17 mm pour serrer l'écrou de chaque pied contre

la caisse de la laveuse.

IMPORTANT :

Les 4 pieds doivent être bien serrés. Si les

écrous ne sont pas bloqués contre la caisse de la laveuse, la

laveuse peut vibrer.

La laveuse ne doit pas bouger d'avant en arrière, latéralement

ou transversalement lorsqu'on appuie sur les bords

supérieurs.

Faire glisser la laveuse à son emplacement final.

Vérifier le bon aplomb de la laveuse.
