CLEANERCLOTHES
Water temperature affects how clean
clothesbecome. If yourclothes are not as
cleanas you would like, checkyour water
heater temperature. Check your water
heater manufacturer's recommendations,
as well as local codes, for assistance.
Also, check that your water hoses are
hooked up correctly. If they are switched
you might be getting cold water in your
warm and hotcycles.
Hard water does not remove soil as well
as softwater. Checkwith your localwater
companyto see ifyou have hardwater. 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.

LIHTFILTER
Maytag'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 passesfrom the bottomof the outer
tub backto the inner tub.As water passes
from the outer tub to the inner tub, water
is forced through the bottom of the lintfil-
ter.The filter traps lint under thefilter until
the spin cycle begins. During the spin
cycle centrifugalforce removes the lint by
pulling it off the bottom of the filter and
washing it down the drain.
MOTOROVERLOAD
PROTECTOR
Internal overload protector automatically
stops motor in event of overload.
Overloadprotector resetsin approximate-
ly 3 minutes and motor automatically
