This is one of four manuals I have downloaded recently.
Purchase was very straight forward and the authorising email arrived in about 4 hours.
The quality of the scan is good. Print is clear and square to the page edges.
Having purchased a 1994 Kenwood music system from a Charity shop in 2013 (it was a high end product in its day), I found myself not quite knowing where to plug in what, and how to do this, that and the next thing. I needed a Manual, and after failure with another online 'Manual provider' I found Owner Manuals dot com. Well, I wasn't sure, but it was only $5, and if things didn't work out, I wouldn't have lost much...
But things DID work out. After paying my childrens inheritance money, $4.99, I was sent a Manual for my Kenwood System very quickly. Alas, it was in German, and being Scottish, I could not read it or get my system in order from it...a rapid email to them brought the English Manual in short order, and my retro-system was and IS up and running in it's regulation settings.
I am very grateful to http://www.owner-manuals.com for their quick service and for even having such an obsolete Manual in the first place! If you need a Manual for ANYTHING, try here first. I wouldn't be surprised if I bought a 1928 Marconi radio, and got the user Manual for THAT here too!
Top marks.

Maintenance and cleaning
The cabinet
Clean the outside surfaces of the machine using a mild solution of washing up liquid and water. Finish by removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth. 4. Place the end of the inlet and discharge hoses down low, into the waste gully (floor drain) set into the floor. Make sure that the end of the hose does not go below the water level in the gully's (drain's) water trap. 5. Select the programme �Drain� and let that run until it is finished. 6. Turn the programme selector to the �Reset� position. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. Do not use cleaning products which contain alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.
The detergent drawer
In time, residues of detergent and fabric conditioner are likely to build up inside the detergent drawer. It should be cleaned at regular intervals by flushing it out with water. If necessary, the whole drawer can be taken out of the machine for cleaning. Pull the drawer out as normal until it stops at the retaining stop. With a hand each side of the body of the drawer and with care, give the drawer a sharp tug towards you so it becomes free of the retaining stop (Fig. 1). To remove the syphon (at the inside edge of the drawer) for cleaning, you need to press it inwards and pull it upwards at the same time (Fig. 2). When you put it back, press it downwards until you hear a distinct click.
Inside the recess for the detergent drawer
Detergent residues can also build up inside the recess for the detergent drawer. You can use an old toothbrush for cleaning this area (Fig. 3). When you have finished and put back the drawer, run a short programme with no wash load in the machine to rinse it clean.
1
Cleaning inside the machine
If you mostly use your machine for low-temperature washes and/or if you use only very little detergent, you should clean the inside of the machine about once a month. This will prevent mould or stale odours from developing. Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a biological powder (such as Ariel Futur) and run a wash programme at the highest temperature with no wash load in the machine.
2
Descaling
If your water supply is harder than 7° dH, you should descale your washing machine at least once every three months. Use approx. 150 ml of citric acid instead of detergent and run a wash programme at the highest temperature with no wash load in the machine. Limescale deposits on components such as the machine's heating element will reduce their service life. (Contact your water company to find out the hardness level of your local water supply).
Protecting the machine against freezing
If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature may sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside parts of the machine after normal use will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should: 1. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the supply tap. 2. Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time. 3. Interrupt the programme by turning the programme selector to the �Reset� position.
