USING THE WASHER
Bleach
When using liquid chlorine bleach, carefully
measure the amount of bleach recommended on
the bottle label. General recommendations are
1/8 cup for each 2 gallons of wash water.
Amount of wash water in: EX. SMALL - 10
gallons (8 Imperial gallons; 38 liters); SMALL -
12 gallons (10 Imperial gallons; 45 liters);
MEDIUM - 14 gallons (12 Imperial gallons; 53
liters); LARGE - 17 gallons (14 Imperial gallons;
64 liters); EXTRA LARGE - 19 gallons (16
Imperial gallons; 72 liters).
Add the recommended amount of liquid chlorine
bleach to the dispenser before placing the clothes
in the washer tub. Properly diluted bleach will be
added automatically to the wash water.
Be careful whenever you use liquid chlorine
bleach. It is a powerful chemical and can cause
fabric damage, such as fears or color loss, if not
used properly. Do not pour directly on fabrics.
Wipe up spills with a paper towel.
Oxygen or all-fabric bleach may be added with
the detergent. Follow the instructions on the
package, if used improperly, fabric damage may
occur, such as color loss. Do not put granular
bleach or detergent in bleach dispenser.
Detergent
Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent.
Add measured amount of detergent to washtub
before loading.
Read the manufacturer's instructions and use the
correct amount. Most instructions are for washing
an "average" load. If the size of the load is extra
large, the degree of soil is heavier than average
and the water is harder than 6 grains per gallon,
more detergent should be used.
Wipe up any spills of liquid laundry detergent on
the washer.

Loading the Washer
Place dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up
to the top row of holes for a maximum load. Do
not pack or wrap items around the agitator. See
MAYTAG LAUNDERING GUIDE for suggestions
on sorting. Be sure to empty all pockets, mend
any holes or tears and pretreat spots, stains and
heavily soiled areas.
Fabric Softener
When using rinse-added fabric softener, add the
recommended amount to the cup located in top of
the agitator. The cup may be lifted out for filling.
Add warm water to bring liquid level to the
indicated FILL LINE in the cup. Diluted fabric
softener will automatically be added to the rinse.
(Always dilute fabric softener with water.)
Do not interrupt the spin following the wash cycle
because the softener will go into the washtub at
the wrong time.
The area in and around the dispenser cup should
be flushed and cleaned with hot water and a soft
brush periodically.
