What's New Under The Lid; Accessories - Amana NTW4605EW Mode D'emploi

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Cleaning with Less Water
Traditional agitator-style
washer
The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load
size—no water level selector is needed.
For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose
heaps evenly around the washplate.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
items will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT:
• You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your
past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load
to be above the water line.
• After the washer basket fills to the selected water level, the lid
must be closed before the wash cycle can start. If filling stops
with the lid open, close lid and press START button.

What's New Under the Lid?

Washer with low-water
wash system
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the washer will fill to the water level.
When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate after it
determines the correct water level for the load.
This low-water wash method uses less water and energy
compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using
regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use and do not go over the Max line. See "Using
Laundry Product Dispensers" for more information.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Improved Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than
diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this
washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. This low
water wash also allows the clothing to move in a more effective
way to remove soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and noises that are different from those of your previous
washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the
beginning of the cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self-
test. There will be different kinds of humming sounds as the
washplate moves the load and as basket is slowing down to
a stop. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all, as the
washer determines the correct water level for your load or
allows time for clothes to soak.
