Your washer may tlave some of the following features. Understanding the use of the features on
your machine will help you efficiently use your washer.

Lint filters

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter (requires no cleaning by you) or a manual clean lint filter.
Check the shape of your agitator to see if you need to clean your lint filter.
AGITATOR ABOUT YOUR FILTER FILTER
piral-shaped agitator

Self-cleaning lint filter

This lint filter requires no cleaning. (The lint
filter at the bottom of the washer basket cleans
itself.) During agitation, wash and rinse water
pass over the filter, separating the lint from the
water. The lint is then spun away from the filter
and out of the system during the spin part of
the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any
lint collected in the tub or strainer.

Manual clean lint filter

If your agitator is barrel shaped, as illustrated, your
machine has a manual clean lint filter. Clean the
filter at the bottom of the agitator after every load
for the best filtering results.
To clean:
1. Lift off the agitator barrel.
2. Wash or wipe the filter clean in the bottom of the
agitator barrel. The filter is not removable.
3. Replace agitator barrel. Snap it into place.
