MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
I. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving
parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance
safely, the operator should become familiar with the
instructions for operation of the appliance and always
exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can
support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug
the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not
grounded adequately and in accordance with local and
national codes. See installation instructions for grounding
this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
Do not wash items 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. Hand
wash and line dry any items containing these
substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be placed in the
clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or
solids and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners,
some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
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 or combination washer-dryer,
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

where children cannot reach them.
Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable
or cooking oil.These items may contain some oil after
laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke
or catch fire by itself.
Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such
as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous
fumes can form.
Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles
can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause
skin irritation.
Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.

The amount of water used will vary with each load.The Amana clothes washer will automatically provide
the appropriate amount of water for efficient cleaning performance and conservation of water and energy.
Fill time will vary depending on water pressure.
8

USE
Your Amana washer is designed
to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
For best cleaning results, use a high
efficiency detergent such asTide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer
HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain
suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds.
When less suds are produced, the load tumbles more
efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.
i::::::::EATURES
The washer has separate compartments for
dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine
bleach and fabric softener. All laundry additives are
added to their respective compartments before
starting the washer.
The Automatic Dispenser MUST ALWAYS
be in place before starting the washer. DO
NOT open the Automatic Dispenser when
the washer is running.
To use:
.
Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left
side of the control panel.
Fill appropriate compartments with laundry
additives, being careful not to overfill or spill
additives.
3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and
completely back into the compartment.
I. Pour the recommended amount of laundry
detergent directly into the detergent compart-
ment before starting the washer.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be
added with detergent to the detergent
compartment.
•When adding color-safe bleach with detergent,
it is best if both laundry products are in the
same form; granular or liquid.
NOTE: If using liquid detergent, lower the
Detergent Selector and add the detergent to the
Detergent Compartment.

I. Add chlorine bleach to the Bleach
Compartment. DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL
line.
2.Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
3.The washer automatically dispenses bleach into
the tub at the appropriate time.
4.The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlo-
rine bleach before it reaches the wash load.
NOTES:
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine
bleach directly onto the load or into
the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can
cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the
fibers or color loss,if not used properly.
•If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine
bleach, add it to the appropriate detergent
compartment. DO NOT pour color-safe
bleach into the chlorine bleach
dispenser.
I. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric
softener into the softener compartment. For
smaller loads, use less than one cap full.
2. Fabric softener should be diluted with warm water
until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.
3.The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric
softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.
NOTES:
• Use the softener compartment ONLY for
liquid fabric softeners.
• DO NOT use the Downy Bait with this
washer. It will not add fabric softener at the
appropriate time. Use the automatic dispenser.

ARE AND CLEANING
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the
day's washing. This will shut off the water supply to
the clothes washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of
damage from escaping water. Leave the door open to
allow the inside of the washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other
spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not
use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray
cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet - Clean with soap and water.
Clean the interior of the washer periodically to
remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing clothes. We recommend taking the
following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and
freshen your washer interior. The frequency with
which the washer should be cleaned and freshened
depends on factors such as usage, the amount of
dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer,
or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions,
including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains
on the washer or washload.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two cups
warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash the bleach
solution.
2. Wipe the door seal with bleach solution and a soft cloth.
3. Fill bleach dispenser with undiluted chlorine bleach.
4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot
water.
5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a
recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.
The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned
periodically due to laundry additive buildup.
I. Press the release lever on the inside of the
dispenser and pull out.

2. Remove the cups from the fabric softener and
bleach compartments.
3.Wash all of the parts under running water.
