15" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working height. The large drawer provides convenient storage.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

NOTES:

■ The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your nger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your ngertip, not your ngernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

■ At cycle completion, your setting and option choices will be remembered for your next use of that cycle. However, if power is lost to the washer, the settings and options will go back to the factory defaults.

2 1

POWER

Touch to turn the washer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time.

NOTE: Turning the Wash Cycle knob will also turn the washer on.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. Press the Wash Cycle knob to enable the Extra Power option.

NOTE: The Clean Washer with affresh® LED will ash when the washer has run 30 wash cycles as a reminder to run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle.

See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles. NOTE: For best results when using the Overnight Wash &

Dry cycle, use for loads weighing 2 lbs or less, such as a soccer uniform or a running tank and shorts. Allow the cycle to run the full duration of 12 hours.

EXTRA POWER

Extra Power option can be used for increased cleaning power. Press the Wash Cycle Knob to activate the Extra Power option, which runs a cold pre-wash cycle before the main cycle. When Extra Power is activated, the Cycle Control Knob will illuminate and the estimated time remaining on the display will increase. On single load dispenser models, add an extra dose of detergent to the Bleach/Detergent for Extra Power compartment when using Extra Power, for best results.

START

Touch and hold for 3 seconds until the light above START comes on to start a cycle or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. If you want to add a garment, you can touch START when the “Add Garment” LED is on.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packing, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen the cycle time as well.

Touch the desired setting on the display to adjust. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

Temp

The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best results, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.

Spin

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.

■ Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times but may increase wrinkling in your load.

■ Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling but will leave your load more damp.

Soil

Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. When you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Cycle Time display.

For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select a higher soil level. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select a lower soil level. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

NOTE: Not all Cycle Status Lights are available on all

models. The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle.

At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

Sensing

When START is touched and held, the washer will rst perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks briey. The door will click one more time when it locks again.

Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will begin spinning to sense the load size. This sensing process will continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water owing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.

After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the estimated time.

The sensing light will blink once a second at various times during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra suds.

Washing During the wash cycle, this will display to let you know the

cycle is in progress. Add Garment

When “Add Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the washer again.

Detergent Low When detergent in the dispenser is running low, the display will show the detergent level (Low).

OPTIONS

Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models.

Delay Start

Touch this option to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.

Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin

The Fresh Hold®/Fresh SpinTM option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 24

hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the

washer to reduce humidity. Fresh Spin™ also periodically tumbles the load after the end of the cycle but does not use an integrated fan. To turn on the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option, touch FRESH HOLD. If, however, the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option is turned on, it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back off – the washer remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option, touch FRESH HOLD.

To turn off the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option when it is running, touch POWER.

NOTE: The door will lock while the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER.

Steam

The Steam option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains as well as a steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures.

Extra Rinse

Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.

Cycle Signal

Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds the display will count down you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” The display will start displaying the sound levels you will see “1,” then “2,” then “3,” then “OFF.” When the CYCLE SIGNAL is released the last value shown will be the current selection.

Control Lock

Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds again to unlock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held down, the display will count down 1 second; you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” You may still touch START to pause the cycle or touch POWER to turn off the washer.

WiFi Connect

Download the Maytag™ app and follow the instructions to connect your washer/dryer to your home Wi-Fi network. You may also visit www.maytag.com/connect. In Canada, visit www.maytag.ca.

Remote Enable

Touch this button to be able to use the Maytag® app to control the washer. Press this button each time after Power On and when the door is opened and closed.

Extra Power

The Extra Power option boosts stain ghting performance on any wash cycle with a dual temperature wash, combining cold and hot temperature during different phases of the wash time. To use this function press the knob to activate the Extra Power option. For single dose dispensers and an additional 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended amount into the dispenser marked for Extra Power. For the Optimal Dispenser it will automatically dispense the detergent at the optimal time.

DISPENSERS

Cycle Details:

This cycle combines slow-speed tumbling and slow-speed spin for gentle fabric care and reduced wrinkling.

This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and medium-speed spin for gentle fabric care and reduced wrinkling.

This cycle eliminates

99.99% of the most common bacteria found in clothes, sheets, and towels. The extra hot wash temperature ensures sanitization. Check recommended wash temperature of your items. Bacteria tested were K. pneumonia, P. aureginosa, and S. aureus.

Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts stains while caring for fabrics. Settings may be adjusted as desired,

but must use only cold water settings.

This short wash cycle has an extra-highspeed spin followed by intermittent tumbling and fan activation to circulate air through the clothes.

Use Drain & Spin to remove excess water from the load. Spin speed can be set to a lower setting.

*All temperature selections feature a Cold rinse. **The Steam option is only available when a Warm, Very Warm, or Hot water temperature is selected. ***Spin speed varies by model.
