USING THE WASHER

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.
