• Do not wash items that have been previously

th e : ïü> pi sà iïç ç i. : fo y ûvy . : b rtc

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.

Any materia! on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

lÿtrQrits inv'tüïisni:;;

8. Do not reach into the appliance if the tumbler is moving.

9. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appli ance is used near children.

10. Do not tamper with controls. I I. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

I 2. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place

where children cannot reach them.

I 3. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable

or cooking oil.These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

14. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or adds (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

I S. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles

can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

I 6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard

ed, remove the door to the washing compartment.

I 7. Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.

18. Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gaso line, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

i'ATER Use

The amount of water used will vary with each load.The Maytag Neptune® clothes washer will automatically provide the appropriate amount of water for efficient cleaning perform ance and conservation of water and energy. Fill time will vary depending on water pressure.

'ETERGENT USE

Your Maytag Neptune® washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as Tide HE.Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain 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.

If HE detergent is not available, regular detergent may be used.

EATURES

The washer has separate compartments for dispens ing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach and fabric softener. All laundry additives are added to their respective compartments before starting the washer.

if using regular detergent formulated for top loading washers, it is important to pay dose attention to the soil level of the load, load size, and water hardness**. To avoid over-suds Ing, which interferes with tumbling,

rinsing and spinning and causes

extended cycle times, reduce the amount of detergent used with soft water or with small or lightly soiled loads.

NOTE: Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning. It is important to pretreat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level and avoid overloading.

* Brand names are trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

** To determine water hardness in your area, contact your local

water utility or State University Extension office in your area.

Prewash {select modeis)

The Aytomatic Dispenser MÖST ALWAYS be in place before starting the washer. DO NOT open the Automatic Dispenser when the washer Is running.

To usei

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 overfill or spill additives.

3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and completely back into the compartment.

E:NT: ;

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compart ment before starting the washer.

2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with detergent to the detergent compartment.

When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the same form; granular or liquid.

NOTE: If using liquid detergent, lower the Detergent Selector and add the detergent to the Detergent Compartment.

When using the Prewash option (select models), deter gent should be added to both the Prewash Compart ment and the Detergent Compartment.The detergent will be automatically dispensed during prewash.

• If high efficiency (HE) detergent is used, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Prewash

Compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount

to the Detergent Compartment.

• If regular detergent is used, add 1/6 of the recom

mended amount to the Prewash Compartment and

1/3 of the recommended amount to the Detergent

Compartment.

■'■EATURES

(Liquid Chlorine Bleach Only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the Bleach Compartment. DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

2. Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.

3. The washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the appropriate time.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlo

rine bleach before it reaches the wash load.

NOTESi

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the toad or into the tub. it is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.

If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, add it to the appropriate detergent compartment. DO NOT pour color-safe bleach into the chlorine bleach dis penser.

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment. For smaller loads, use less than one cap full.

2. Fabric softener should be diluted with warm water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.

3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.

t NOTES: t

* Use the softener compartment ONLY for

liquid fabric softeners.

• DO NOT use the Downy Ball" with this washer. It will not add fabric softener at the appropriate time. Use the automatic dispenser.

Brand names are trademarks of the respective manufociurers.

'are and 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 doth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.

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 follow ing 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 bac teria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleas ant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or washload.

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.

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 rec

ommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.
