Lint Filter
Amana's self cleaning lint filter works throughout the wash cycle to constantly
remove lint and other residue from the water. Located between the outer and
inner tub, the lint filter removes lint as water passes from the bottom of the
outer tub back to the inner tub. As water passes from the outer tub to the inner
tub, water is forced through the bottom of the lint filter. The filter traps lint under
the filter until the spin cycle begins. During the spin cycle centrifugal force
removes the lint by pulling it off the bottom of the filter and washing it down the
drain.
Child Lockout
This feature disables all the control pads and displays "LO" (lockout). The
washer cannot be programmed when this feature is enabled.
To lockout the control:
•
Press STOP/OFF to turn off unit.
•
Press START and STOP/OFF pad at the same time.
To enable the control, press START and STOP/OFF at
the same time again.
Motor Overload Protector
Internal overload protector automatically stops motor in event of overload.
Overload protector resets in approximately 3 minutes and motor automatically
restarts. If overload protector stops motor again, stop using washer and call
service technician. Loading wash tub too full may result in motor overload.
Automatic Balance System
Your new washer will automatically adjust to unbalanced loads without shutting
down or interrupting the cycle. The cycle will automatically complete at the
fastest spin speed possible.
In a severe out-of-balance condition, clothes may contain excessive moisture.
If this should happen, simply redistribute the clothes, and press the SPIN
ONLY pad.
Safety Lid Switch
The washer will not agitate or spin when the lid is open for any reason. This is for
your personal safety. If the lid is opened mid-cycle, operation will automatically
start when lid is closed.

Features, Hints, and Care
Stops and Starts
Wash action consists of periods of
agitation, with pauses or periods of
soaking. For best results, do not
advance cycle through pauses. Pauses
in the wash cycle are a normal and
necessary occurrence.
Cleaner Clothes
Water temperature affects how clean
clothes become. If your clothes are not
as clean as you would like, check your
water heater temperature. You may need
to turn your water temperature up for
better results. Also, check that your
water hoses are hooked up correctly. If
they are switched you might be getting
cold water in your warm and hot cycles.
Hard water does not remove soil as
well as soft water. Check with your local
water company to see if you have hard
water. If you have hard water, try
softening it with a packaged
conditioner or use a little more
detergent.
Risers
Risers or air cushions may be installed
if pipes knock or pound when flow of
water stops. Risers are more efficient
when installed as close as possible to
water supply faucets.
