WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These

words mean:

DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

�Read all instructions before using the appliance.

�Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as

they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

�Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.

These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

�Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced

in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or

more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water

system has not been used for such a period, before using a

washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the

water flow from each for several minutes. This will release

any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,

do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

�Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is

used near children.

�Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door.

�Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is

moving.

�Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

�Do not tamper with controls.

�Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt

any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-

maintenance instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry

out.

�Do not use replacement parts that have not been

recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at

home using a 3D printer).

�See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements

and installation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.

Service Personnel – Do not contact the thermostat bracket while the appliance is energized.

�Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT

DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked

“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive

sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will

likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing

performance. It may also result in component failure and, over

time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-

sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds

for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it

is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled

as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to

reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE

detergents may generate a high level of suds. If you use one of

these and see an “Sd” or “Sud” error code appear in the display,

consider using a different HE detergent. Always follow the

detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of

detergent to use. Do not go over the Max line on the dispenser.

Adding Laundry Products

Adding HE detergent to basket:

Single-dose laundry packets,

Oxi-type boosters, color-safe

bleach, or scented crystals can be

added to the drum prior to adding

laundry. When using single-dose

laundry packets, make sure that the

bulk dispenser is disabled (on

some models) or off.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the

amount of laundry products to use.

Adding liquid chlorine bleach to single-load dispenser:

Add liquid chlorine bleach to

the bleach compartment. Do

not overfill, dilute, or use more

than 2⁄3 cup (165 mL). Do not

use color-safe bleach or Oxi in

the same cycle with liquid

chlorine bleach.

IMPORTANT:

�Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup

with a pour spout; do not guess.

�Do not fill beyond the “MAX” line. Overfilling could cause

garment damage.

�Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when

running the Clean Washer with affresh®cycle, as excess suds

may occur.

�On some models: Do not add liquid chlorine bleach to the bulk

dispenser.

�Slowly close dispenser drawers. Make sure the drawers are

closed completely (on some models).

Adding liquid fabric softener to single-load dispenser:

Pour a measured amount of

liquid fabric softener into liquid

fabric softener compartment.

Always follow manufacturer’s

directions for correct amount

of fabric softener, based on

your load size. Disable the 1

Liter Load & Go™dispenser if

not used to dispense

detergent (on some models).

Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse, even if

Extra Rinse is selected.

IMPORTANT: Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than the

manufacturer-recommended quantity of fabric softener. Do not fill

past the “MAX” line. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener

to immediately dispense into washer.

�Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.

�Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer.

They will not dispense correctly.

�Do not use fabric softener sheets, as they can stain the load.

Adding HE detergent to Optimal Dispense Drawer (on some

models):

This compartment holds up to 14.3

oz (424 ml) of liquid HE detergent

allowing you to avoid having to refill

detergent for each load. Also, this

will use just the right amount of

detergent required for a particular

load/cycle.

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type

boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals to

dispensers. They will not dispense correctly. The Optimal

Dispense Drawer cannot be disabled.

Adding HE detergent to Load & Go™™ dispenser (on some

models):

Use only High Efficiency (HE) liquid detergents. The bulk

dispensers will hold about 67.6 oz (2 L) or 33.8 oz (1 L) of liquid

HE detergent, depending on dispenser, or enough for many loads

of laundry.

To fill bulk dispensers (on some models):

Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the base of

the washer. If desired, the drawer can be completely removed

from the washer.

Locate the Load & Go™bulk dispenser. Gently

pull up on the tab located on the bulk dispenser

lid to lift the fill door.

Fill to the “MAX” line (see illustrations at right)

with HE liquid detergent or liquid fabric softener

(1 liter dispenser only). Close fill door. It will click

into place. Make sure the concentration setting

is correct (see the online “Cycle Guide”).

It is recommended that you rinse out the Load &

Go™containers when refilling, when changing

detergent types or concentrations, or when the

washer will not be used for an extended period.

For instructions on cleaning the dispenser

cartridge, see “Washer Care” in the “Washer

Maintenance and Care” section of your Owner’s

Manual.

Adding HE detergent to single-load dispenser:

Pour a measured amount of HE

detergent into detergent

compartment. For powdered

detergent, lift the selector to the high

position. For liquid detergent, push

down the selector to the low position.

Do not overfill; adding too much detergent may cause detergent

to be dispensed into the washer too early.

IMPORTANT:

�Disable the Load & Go™option before starting a single load

(on some models). The Optimal Dispense Drawer cannot be

disabled.

�Do not add single-dose laundry packet to dispenser drawer.

Powdered detergent: Liquid detergent:

Lift the selector to the high

position. Add directly to the

compartment.

Push down the selector to the

low position. Add directly to

the compartment.

NOTE: Unless the Optimal Dispense Drawer is empty, it is not

recommended to use powdered detergent.

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND

CARE

Cleaning the Washer Location

Keep washer area clear and free from items that would block

airflow. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the

washer.

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose

failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,

kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses:

�Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent

marker.

�Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet

valves.

�Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper

seal.

Washer Care

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer

Clean and Performing at Its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE

detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of

HE detergent to use. Do not use more than the recommended

amount because that may increase the rate at which

detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer,

which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively

cold water washes), because they do a better job of

controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer door open between uses to help dry

out the washer and avoid the buildup of odor-causing residue.

4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the

window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door with

a damp cloth.

Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine

cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer

Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,

once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs

sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may

otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Door Seal

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from

the washer.

2. Inspect the gray-colored seal between the door opening and

the drum for stained areas, soil buildup, or lint. Pull back the

seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for

foreign objects or lint.

3. If stained areas, soil buildup, or lint are found, wipe down

these areas of the seal using either of the following two

procedures:

a. Affresh®® Machine Cleaning Wipes Procedure:

romanNum.When the cycle is complete, gently pull back

the rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with

the textured side of an affresh®Machine Cleaning

Wipe.

b. Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:

romanNum.Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup

of warm tap water.

romanNum.Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution,

using a damp cloth.

romanNum.Let stand 5 minutes.

romanNum.Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth

and let washer interior air dry with door open.

IMPORTANT:

�Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.

�Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper

use.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

squeeze clamp with pliers and slide it over end of hose,

centering it between the ribs, as shown. Squeeze clamp with

pliers and slide elbow end of drain hose onto drain port and

secure with clamp.

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 6.

For a floor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form as

shown in step 5. You may need additional parts with separate

directions. See “Alternate Parts.”

It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the

drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that

will avoid the drain hose coming out of or leaking from the

plumbing/drain.

5. Remove drain hose form (floor drain

installations only)

For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain

hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need

additional parts with separate directions; refer to the Quick

Start Guide.

6. Place drain hose in standpipe

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of

CHOIX DU DÉTERGENT

APPROPRIÉ

Utiliser uniquement des détergents haute efficacité. L’emballage

portera la mention « HE » ou « High Efficiency » (haute efficacité).

Un lavage avec faible consommation d’eau produit un excès de

mousse avec un détergent non HE. Il est probable que l’utilisation

d’un détergent autre que HE prolonge la durée des programmes

et réduise la performance de rinçage. Ceci peut aussi entraîner

des défaillances des composants et, avec le temps, une

accumulation de moisissure. Les détergents HE devraient

produire peu de mousse et se dissoudre rapidement et créer une

quantité de mousse idéale pour une performance optimale. Ils

devraient retenir les particules de saleté en suspension afin

qu’elles ne se déposent pas de nouveau sur les vêtements

propres. Les détergents identifiés HE ne sont pas tous identiques

et ne produisent pas tous la même quantité de mousse. Par

exemple, les détergents HE, naturels, organiques et faits maison

peuvent produire une plus grande quantité de mousse. Si l’un de

ces produits est utilisé et que le code d’erreur « Sd » ou « Sud »

s’affiche sur l’afficheur, l’utilisation d’un autre détergent HE est

conseillée. Toujours suivre les recommandations du fabricant de

détergent pour déterminer la quantité de détergent à utiliser. Ne

pas remplir au-delà de la ligne MAX sur le distributeur.

Ajout de produits de lessive

Ajouter du détergent HE au panier :

On peut ajouter des sachets de

lessive à dose unique, des

activateurs de lessive de type Oxi,

de javellisant non décolorant ou

des cristaux parfumés dans le

tambour avant d’ajouter le linge.

Lors de l’utilisation de sachets de

lessive à dose unique, s’assurer

que le distributeur en vrac est

désactivé (sur certains modèles) ou

éteint.

REMARQUE : Suivre les instructions du fabricant pour déterminer

la quantité de produits de lessive à utiliser.

Verser de l’eau de Javel dans le distributeur pour charge

unique :

Verser l’eau de Javel dans le

compartiment pour eau de

Javel. Ne pas remplir

excessivement le distributeur,

diluer le produit ou utiliser plus

de 2/3 tasse (165 ml). Ne pas

utiliser de javellisant non

décolorant ni de produit Oxi

avec un programme utilisant

de l’eau de Javel.

IMPORTANT :

�Toujours mesurer la quantité d’eau de Javel. Utiliser une tasse

à mesurer avec un bec verseur; ne pas utiliser une quantité

approximative.

�Ne pas remplir au-delà du niveau « MAX ». Un remplissage

excessif pourrait endommager les vêtements.

�Ne pas utiliser de l’eau de Javel épaisse, facile à verser ou

anti-éclaboussure lorsque le programme Clean Washer with

affresh®(nettoyage de la laveuse avec affresh®) est en cours,

car cela peut entraîner une surproduction de mousse.

�Sur certains modèles : Ne pas verser de l’eau de Javel dans le

distributeur en vrac.

�Fermer lentement les tiroirs distributeurs. S’assurer que les

tiroirs sont fermés complètement (sur certains modèles).

Verser de l’assouplissant de tissu liquide dans le distributeur

pour charge unique :

Verser une mesure de

l’assouplissant de tissu liquide

dans le compartiment

d’assouplissant de tissu

liquide. Toujours suivre les

instructions du fabricant pour

connaître la quantité

d’assouplissant de tissu

adéquate en fonction de la

taille de la charge. Désactiver

le distributeur Load & Go™de

1 litre s’il n’est pas utilisé pour

distribuer le détergent (sur

certains modèles).

L’assouplissant de tissu est toujours distribué lors du rinçage

final, même si l’on a sélectionné Extra Rinse (rinçage

supplémentaire).

IMPORTANT : Ne pas remplir excessivement le distributeur, diluer

le produit ou utiliser plus de la quantité d’assouplissant

recommandée par le fabricant. Ne pas remplir au-delà du niveau

« MAX ». Si l’on remplit excessivement le distributeur,

l’assouplissant de tissu sera distribué dans la laveuse

immédiatement.

�Ne pas renverser ou faire couler d’assouplissant de tissu sur

les vêtements.

�Ne pas utiliser de boules distributrices d’assouplissant de tissu

dans cette laveuse. Ces produits ne se dissoudront pas

correctement.

�Ne pas utiliser de feuilles d’assouplissant, car elles peuvent

tacher la charge.

Ajouter du détergent HE au tiroir distributeur optimal (sur

certains modèles) :

Le compartiment peut contenir

jusqu’à 14,3 oz (424 ml) de

détergent liquide HE, ainsi il n’est

pas nécessaire de remplir le

compartiment de détergent pour

chaque charge. De plus, le

compartiment distribue juste la

bonne quantité de détergent

nécessaire pour une charge/un

programme particulier.

REMARQUE : Ne pas placer de sachets de lessive à dose

unique, d’activateurs de lessive de type Oxi, d’agent de

blanchiment sans danger pour les couleurs ou d’assouplissant

pour tissu sous forme de cristaux dans les distributeurs. Ces

produits ne se dissoudront pas correctement. Le tiroir distributeur

optimal ne peut pas être désactivé.

Ajouter du détergent HE au distributeur Load & Go™™ (sur

certains modèles) :

Utiliser uniquement un détergent liquide Haute efficacité (HE). Les

distributeurs Load & Go peuvent contenir jusqu’à 67,6 oz (2 L) ou

33,8 oz (1 L) de détergent HE liquide ou suffisamment pour

plusieurs charges de lessive.

Remplissage du distributeur en vrac (sur certains modèles) :

Ouvrir le tiroir distributeur en tirant sur la poignée à la base de la

laveuse. Si désiré, le tiroir peut être complètement retiré de la

laveuse.

Trouver le distributeur Load & Go™. Tirer

doucement sur la languette située sur le

couvercle du distributeur pour soulever la porte

de remplissage.

Remplir jusqu’à la ligne « MAX » (voir les

illustrations ci-contre) avec du détergent HE

liquide ou de l’assouplissant liquide (distributeur

1 litre seulement). Fermer la porte de

remplissage. Elle s’emboîte. S’assurer que le

réglage de concentration est correct (voir le

« guide des programmes » en ligne).

Il est recommandé de rincer les récipients Load

& Go™change de type ou de concentration de

détergent, ou si l’on n’utilise pas la laveuse

pendant une période prolongée. Pour les

instructions concernant le nettoyage de la

cartouche du distributeur, consulter le point

« Entretien de la laveuse » dans la section

« Entretien et réparation de la laveuse » de

votre manuel de l’utilisateur.

Ajouter du détergent HE au distributeur pour charge unique :

Verser une mesure de détergent HE

dans le compartiment à détergent.

Pour du détergent en poudre,

soulever le sélecteur vers la position

supérieure. Pour le détergent liquide,

abaisser le sélecteur jusqu’en

position inférieure.

Ne pas faire remplir excessivement le distributeur – le fait

d’ajouter trop de détergent peut entraîner sa distribution

prématurée dans la laveuse.

IMPORTANT :

�Désactiver l’option Load & Go™avant de démarrer une seule

charge(sur certains modèles). Le tiroir distributeur optimal ne

peut pas être désactivé.

�Ne pas ajouter de sachet de lessive à dose unique dans le

tiroir distributeur.

Détergent en poudre : Détergent liquide :

Soulever le sélecteur en

position élevée. Ajouter

directement dans le

compartiment.

Appuyer sur le sélecteur pour

le placer en position basse.

Ajouter directement dans le

compartiment.

REMARQUE : Il est déconseillé d’utiliser du détergent en poudre

à moins que le tiroir distributeur optimal soit vide.

ENTRETIEN ET RÉPARATION DE

LA LAVEUSE

Nettoyage de l'emplacement de la

laveuse

Éviter de laisser autour de la laveuse des éléments qui pourraient

obstruer la circulation de l’air et empêcher le bon séchage. Ceci

implique de dégager également les éventuelles piles de

vêtements placées devant la laveuse.

Tuyaux d’arrivée d’eau

Remplacer les tuyaux d’arrivée d’eau après 5 ans d’utilisation

pour réduire le risque de défaillance intempestive. Inspecter

périodiquement les tuyaux; les remplacer en cas de renflement,

de déformation, de coupure et d’usure ou de fuite.

Lors du remplacement de vos tuyaux d’arrivée d’eau :

�Noter la date de remplacement au marqueur indélébile sur

l’étiquette.

�Vérifier que les vieilles rondelles ne sont pas coincées dans

les valves d’arrivée d’eau de la laveuse.

�Utiliser de nouvelles rondelles avec les nouveaux tuyaux

d’entrée pour assurer une bonne étanchéité.

Entretien de la laveuse

Recommandations pour une laveuse propre et

pour un niveau de performance

1. Utiliser toujours un détergent HE (haute efficacité) et

employer la quantité de détergent recommandée par le

fabricant du détergent HE. Ne pas utiliser plus que la quantité

recommandée de détergent, car ceci peut augmenter le taux

d’accumulation de résidus de détergent et de souillures à

l’intérieur de la laveuse, ce qui pourrait entraîner la formation

d’odeurs indésirables.

2. Exécuter périodiquement des lavages avec de l’eau tiède ou

chaude (pas exclusivement des lavages à l’eau froide), car

l’eau chaude facilite l’élimination des résidus de détergent et

de souillures.

3. Veiller à toujours laisser la porte de la laveuse ouverte entre

deux utilisations pour qu’elle puisse sécher, et pour éviter

l’accumulation de résidus générateurs d’odeurs.

4. Nettoyer périodiquement les résidus s’accumulant sur les

surfaces intérieures du hublot. Pour un meilleur entretien,

passer un linge humide sur toute la partie intérieure de la

porte.

Nettoyage de la laveuse à chargement par l'avant

Lire complètement ces instructions avant d’entreprendre les

opérations de nettoyage de routine recommandées ci-dessous.

Le processus d’entretien de la laveuse doit être exécuté au moins

une fois par mois ou à intervalles de 30 lavages (selon la période

la plus courte des deux); ceci permettra de contrôler la vitesse à

laquelle les résidus de détergent et les souillures s’accumulent

dans la laveuse.

Nettoyage du joint de la porte

1. Ouvrir la porte de la laveuse et retirer tout vêtement ou article

de la laveuse.

2. Inspecter le joint gris entre l’embrasure de la porte et le

tambour – noter toute zone tachée, l’accumulation de

souillures ou de charpie. Tirer sur le joint pour examiner

complètement la zone qui se trouve en dessous et vérifier

qu’elle est libre de tout objet étranger ou de toute charpie.
