Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT
Before washing clothes for the first time, a complete cycle must be run without a load. This will remove any water remaining in the washer from the manufacturer’s test run.
Load the Clothes Washer
• The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfolded clothes. However, DO NOT pack the tub tightly.
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause
ss wear and possibly cause creasing or
exce wrinkling of the load.
Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other
• lingerie in the “Delicates” or “Handwash” cycle with similar lightweight items.
• When washing smaller, bulky items that do not fill the tub completely such as a rug, one pillow, stuffed toys or one or two sweaters, a few towels should be added for improved tumbling and spin performance.
• When washing heavily soiled loads, it is very important to good cleaning results.
• To add a forgotten item in the Normal, Colors, Heavy Duty or Quick Wash c for the Door Lock light to go out, add the item, close the door and press one to two minute

our Maytag washer is designed to use high efficiency

Detergent
• For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Cheer HE or Wisk HE*. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds. When less suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.
• When using regular detergent formulated for top­loading washers, it is important to pay close attention to the soil level of the load, load size, and water hardness**.

Automatic Dispenser
The washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach and fabric softener. All laundry additives are added to their respective compartments before starting the washer.
The Automatic Dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting the washer. DO NOT open the Automatic Dispenser when the washer is running.
To use:
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left side of the control panel.
2. Fill appropriate compartments with laundry additives, being careful not to additives.

Care & Cleaning
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing. This will shut off the water supply to the
clothes washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do
not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet – clean with soap and water.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a result of washing clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or washload.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1. Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two cups warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash the bleach solution.
2. Wipe the door seal with bleach solution and a soft cloth.
3. Fill bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.
4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.

Cleaning the Automatic Dispenser and Compartment
The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive buildup.
1. Press the release lever on the inside of the dispenser and pull out.
2. Remove the cups from the fabric softener and bleach compartments.
Storing the Clothes Washer
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:
• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run the washer through the cycle without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
• Disconnect the clothes washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer door circulate inside the tumbler.
• If the washer has been stored in below-freezing temperatures, allow time for any water left over in the washer to thaw out prior to use.

• Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged.
• As the washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal.
• While the washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature as the washer determines the temperature of the water.

Whirring or sloshing sound followed by a pause, repeated throughout the wash cycle.
Washer maintains a slightly reduced spin speed after achieving a higher spin speed.
The spin speed slows down dramatically when it sounds like an out-of-balance load.
Water is added after the washer has been tumbling for a while.
• The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the load.
• Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle. Bleach is dispensed during final minutes of wash. Fabric softener is dispensed during the third rinse while the washer is filling.
• The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause. The tub reverses direction and pauses. This action continues throughout the cycle.
• After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce spin speed slightly for maximum performance.
• The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down to redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs.
• The Maytag Neptune more water during the wash cycle as it is needed.
• Water flows through the dispenser to dilute and add bleach or fabric softener at the appropriate time. This will occur even if bleach and fabric softener are not used.
