IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk
of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,
or loss of life.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used
for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by
turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any
electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or
appliance during this process.

Understanding your washer
Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions
Lid Lock
Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents
anyone (especially children) from reaching into the washer while the basket is spinning. The lock will be
released approximately 2 minutes after the basket stops spinning.
About the control panel
Load Size
Loosely load clothes into the washer basket and select the appropriate load size. (For models that do not have a load size
selection knob, press the load size button repeatedly to switch between different water levels).
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or instructions when
laundering.
(For models that do not have a temperature selection knob, the washer automatically selects the wash temperature according
to the selected cycle. Wash temperatures for each cycle are indicated on the control panel).
2
nd
Rinse Option (on some models)
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, you may want to use the 2nd Rinse option. It provides a
second deep cold rinse (short: 3 mins; long: 6 mins).
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. Select the desired wash cycle and press the Start/Pause button to
begin. If you wish to change the wash program after the washer has begun operating, press the Start/Pause button in order to
stop the operation. Change to the desired wash program and press the Start/Pause button to start again. The wash cycle will
start from the beginning.
For some models, the Manual Mode button allows you to modify the wash program by selecting a specific cycle stage. After
selecting a wash program, press the Manual Mode button repeatedly to choose different program stages.
(For models that do not have the manual mode option, this button serves as the load size selector).
Cycle Indicator Lights
identify what stage the washer is in. If the indicator lights are blinking, the operation of the washer has been paused. To
resume operation press the Start/Pause button. During the spin cycle, the lid lock will be engaged, and will be shown on the
indicator lights. The lid lock will be released approximately 2 minutes after the spin cycle is completed.
Start/Pause
Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. If you raise the lid or change the cycle, you will have to press the Start/Pause
button to resume the operation of your washer.
Your washer may not be exactly as shown.

The fabric softener dispenser automatically
releases liquid fabric softener at the proper
time during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin.
This will cause the dispenser to empty
too soon.
NOTE: We recommend you clean the
dispenser periodically to prevent buildup.
Remove the dispenser from the top of the
agitator, soak it, and clean with a soft cloth.
To use, follow these steps:
Make sure dispenser is securely attached
to agitator.
Use only liquid fabric softener.
Pour into dispenser, using amount
recommended on package.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes.
It may stain them.
Add water to dispenser until it reaches
the maximum fill line.

About washer features.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates)
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
Sorting Wash Loads
Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
To avoid any risk of overflow, add clothes before
the washer has stopped filling.
Using too little or too much detergent is a
common cause of laundry problems.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a
smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
Proper Use of Detergent
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row
of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet
items, make sure you set the load/water level high
enough to allow the items to move freely. Water
level should just cover the clothes. To add items
after washer has started, lift the lid and submerge
additional items next to the agitator.
Do not overload the wash basket
■
Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around
the agitator.
■ Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■ Agitation will not start with the lid up.
Loading the Washer
Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean
the basket, use a clean soft cloth dampened with
liquid detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or
gritty cleaners.)
Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet
should be replaced every 5 years.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with
damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp
objects.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.
LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE APPAREIL.
AVERTISSEMENT! Pour votre sécurité et pour réduire les risques d’incendie, d’explosion, de choc électrique,
de dommages matériels, de blessures ou même d’accident mortel, vous devez vous
conformer aux instructions contenues dans ce manuel.
SÉCURITÉ – CHAUFFE-EAU
Dans certaines conditions, de l’hydrogène peut se former dans un chauffe-eau qui n’a pas été utilisé pendant
deux semaines ou plus. L’hydrogène présente des risques d’explosion dans ces circonstances.
Si l’eau chaude n’a pas été utilisée pendant 2 semaines ou plus, ouvrez tous les robinets d’eau chaude et laissez l’eau
couler pendant plusieurs minutes pour éviter tout dommage ou toute blessure. Faites de même avec tout appareil
électrique raccordé au circuit d’eau chaude. Ce simple procédé permet à l’hydrogène de s’échapper. Ce gaz étant
inflammable, ne fumez pas et n’utilisez pas d’appareil ou de flamme nue pendant cette opération.
INSTALLATION APPROPRIÉE
Cette laveuse doit être installée conformément aux instructions d’installation avant d’être utilisée.
Si vous n’avez pas reçu la feuille d’instructions d’installation, vous pouvez l’obtenir sur le site Web
www.electromenagersge.ca ou en appelant le 1-800-361-3400.
Les instructions contenues dans ce manuel et toute la documentation fournie avec cette laveuse ne couvrent pas la
totalité des conditions ou situations éventuelles. Vous DEVEZ utiliser des méthodes sûres et appropriées, et user de
prudence lorsque vous installez, utilisez et entretenez tout type d’électroménager.
ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE
CIRCUIT - Circuit individuel, correctement polarisé et mis à la terre, protégé par un disjoncteur ou un fusible de 15 A.
ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE - Courant alternatif monophasé, bifilaire, avec mise à la terre, de 120 V et 60 Hz.
PRISE DE COURANT - Prise à 3 alvéoles, correctement mise à la terre, située de manière à ce qu’il soit facile d’accéder au cordon
d’alimentation une fois la laveuse installée.
MISE À LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de dysfonctionnement ou de panne, la mise à la terre
diminue le risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est équipé d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur
de terre et d’une fiche de mise à la terre. La fiche doit être branchée sur une prise appropriée,
correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux codes et règlements en vigueur.
NE MODIFIEZ PAS - la fiche fournie avec l’appareil.
NE COUPEZ OU NE MODIFIEZ PAS - la broche de mise à la terre du cordon d’alimentation. Si la
fiche ne rentre pas dans la prise, faites installer une prise appropriée par un électricien qualifié.
N’UTILISEZ PAS - de cordon prolongateur ou de fiche d’adaptation.
AVERTISSEMENT!
Un raccordement incorrect du conducteur de terre de l’équipement peut entraîner un risque de
choc électrique. Renseignez-vous auprès d’un électricien qualifié si vous avez des doutes
concernant la qualité de la mise à la terre de votre appareil.

VOTRE BUANDERIE
nVeillez à ce qu’il n’y ait aucun matériau combustible
(charpie, papiers, chiffons, produits chimiques, etc.)
sous et autour de vos appareils.
nSurveillez attentivement les enfants lorsque ceux-ci se
trouvent près de l’appareil ou qu’ils l’utilisent. Ne
permettez pas aux enfants de jouer sur, avec ou à
l’intérieur de cet appareil ou de tout autre appareil.
20
Cet appareil doit
uniquement être
utilisé aux fins
prévues et
décrites dans
ce manuel.
LORS DE L’UTILISATION DE LA LAVEUSE
nNe mettez jamais la main dans la laveuse lorsque
celle-ci est en mouvement. Attendez jusqu’à ce que
l’appareil soit complètement arrêté avant d’en ouvrir
le couvercle.
nNe mélangez pas d’agent chloré de blanchiment avec
de l’ammoniaque ou des produits acides tels que le
vinaigre et/ou l’antirouille. Le mélange de divers
produits chimiques peut produire un gaz toxique
mortel.
nNe lavez et ne séchez pas d’articles qui ont été
nettoyés, lavés, trempés ou tachés avec un produit
combustible ou explosif (cire, huile, peinture, essence,
dégraissant, solvant pour nettoyage à sec, kérosène,
etc.). Ces substances dégagent des vapeurs qui
pourraient s’enflammer ou provoquer une explosion.
N’ajoutez aucun de ces produits à l’eau de lavage.
N’utilisez et ne rangez aucun de ces produits autour de
votre laveuse ou sécheuse lorsque celle-ci fonctionne.
nLe lavage/séchage peut réduire l’aspect ignifuge des
tissus. Pour éviter cela, suivez attentivement les
instructions de lavage et de soin du fabricant du
vêtement.
nPour réduire le risque de choc électrique, débranchez
cet appareil ou coupez l’alimentation électrique de la
laveuse au niveau du tableau de distribution de votre
domicile en retirant le fusible ou en mettant le
disjoncteur en position d’arrêt avant d’effectuer tout
entretien ou toute réparation.
REMARQUE : Tourner le bouton de sélection de cycle pour le
mettre en position d’arrêt ou appuyer sur PAUSE NE
DÉCONNECTE PAS l’appareil de l’alimentation électrique.
nN’essayez jamais d’utiliser cet appareil s’il est
endommagé, fonctionne mal, s’il est partiellement
démonté ou si certaines de ses pièces manquent ou
sont cassées (y compris le cordon d’alimentation ou la
fiche).
EN CAS DE NON-UTILISATION
nFermez les robinets d’eau pour relâcher la pression au
niveau des tuyaux et des robinets, et pour réduire les
fuites en cas de tuyau cassé. Vérifiez l’état des tuyaux
de remplissage : ils doivent être remplacés tous les
5 ans.
nAvant de mettre une laveuse au rebut ou de la mettre
hors service, retirez le couvercle pour éviter que les
enfants ne se cachent à l’intérieur de l’appareil.
nSi le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé ou usé, il
doit être remplacé par un technicien ou une personne
qualifiés pour éviter tout danger.
nN’essayez pas de réparer ou remplacer toute pièce de
cet appareil, sauf si cela est spécifiquement
recommandé dans ce manuel ou dans des manuels
d’instructions de réparation pour l’utilisateur : vous
devez bien comprendre les instructions et avoir les
aptitudes nécessaires à la réalisation de ces réparations.
Dans le cas contraire, les réparations doivent être
effectuées par un technicien qualifié.
nN’altérez pas les commandes.
nPour brancher et débrancher votre laveuse, maintenez
le cordon au niveau de la fiche. Ne tirez jamais sur le
cordon d’alimentation.
