WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:

You can be kifled or seriously injured if you don't immed!ate!y
follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer.
[] Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] 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. Ifthe hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the washing

machine, 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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.

Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.

[] Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is

moving.

[] Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to

the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls.
[] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Your washer has several benefits and features which are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves you time by

allowing you to do fewer, larger loads. It also conserves resources
and lowers your water and energy bills by using the following
innovations.

INTELLIFILL TM Water Level Control

This washer senses the load size and composition through a series

of fills and wash motion. It then adjusts the water [eve[ for the best
cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the guesswork. The

water level is just right for every wash load size.
NOTE: YOU may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not

completely submerged in water. This is normal for your washer.

Auto Temperature Control
The Auto Temperature Control system on this washer electronically

senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating
incoming water temperatures. Using Auto Temperature Control will
help dissolve detergent.

Washer impeller System

Your new washer works differently than most washers that you may

be accustomed to. The most striking difference is that the washer
has a washer impeller system. It uses this new innovative washer
impeller at the bottom of the wash basket to move your load
through a mixture of water and detergent. The load is moved from

the outside toward the middle with items coming up in the center
and down on the outside edges.

Dispensers

The dispensers make your washer truly automatic. It is unnecessary

for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add detergent,
bleach, fabric softener, laundry boosters, or oxi. I_aundry products

are added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Spin Speeds

This washer is preset to automatically select the spin speed based

on the cycle selected. Depending on your wash load, you can
change the preset speeds. The spin speed on this washer is nearly

twice as fast as that of a conventional washer. YOU may notice
different sounds during a spin cycle because of this higher speed.

High Efficiency (HE) Detergent

This washer is designed for High Efficiency (HE) detergent use only.

HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds and

give the best performance in low water wash systems.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent

Innovative Features

Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce noise,

increase the ease of use, and improve wash performance.
Electronic Controls

Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether you
are a beginner or an "expert."

Quiet Operation
This washer is insulated with sound-dampening materials to reduce

washer operation sounds and noises.
Suspension System

To reduce washer "vibration," "walk," and "out of balance"

conditions, your new washer combines:

[] 4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration
[] Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket to

minimize vibration

[] Operating software designed to sense and correct off-balance loads
Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM Cycle

This washer features an easy-to-use Clean Washer with AFFRESH _'

cycle that thoroughly cleans the inside of your washing machine
using higher water volumes in combination with AFFRESH +washer
cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. The use of AFFRESH +washer
cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle, will remove and

help avoid odor-causing residue.

Stainless Steel Basket
The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables higher

spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

Self-clean Wash and Rinse Filter System
This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water

is filtered then recircu[ated. The force filter traps sand and dirt,

flushing them down the drain, so they are not redeposited onto the

clean clothes.

End Signal - Off - On

The End Signal produces an audible sound when the wash cycle is
finished. This signal is helpful when you are removing items from
the washer assoon as it stops.

Water Save Spray Rinse
This washer is designed to have the option of saving water by

using a spray rinse instead of a deep water rinse. This option is

the default setting on some cycles. The option is se[ectab[e on
other cycles. When using fabric softener, always select the Fabric

Softener button, or select Extra Rinse; both of these options will
dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.

QUICK START GUIDE/WASHER USE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before operating this appliance.

The following is aguide to using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

S a !i:ij ii i8¸'%%, iii e .....

Your Maytag Washer is equipped with an "Auto Wake-up"

feature. Press any button or open and dose the washer lid, and
the display will illuminate. The washer will automatically shut

down if a cycle is not selected and started right away.

[] Your Maytag Washer will memorize and save all options

and modifiers that have been changed during setting mode
(exceptions apply to options for Super Wash, Rapid Wash,

and Normal cycles. They will default back to factory default
setti ngs.)

q

Using the Proper Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing
with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will

likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and

noticeable mold or mildew. H E detergents are made to produce

the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the

manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent

to use. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher
will use less detergent based on load size.

r r

2_

Pour measured powdered or liquid HEdetergent into the

High Efficiency detergent dispenser. Always use the detergent

dispenser, and do not put detergent directly onto clothes in the
washer.

NOTE: If you do not press Start/Pause within 5 minutes of pressing

Power/Cancel, the washer automatically shuts off.

3. Add color-safe bleach (powdered or liquid) to the detergent
dispenser, if needed. Be sure to match powdered color-safe
bleach with powdered detergent or match liquid color-safe
bleach with liquid detergent.

4_

Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid bleach
dispenser, if needed. Bleach is diluted and automatically
dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle.

Use only HE detergent.

Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "[.aundry
Tips." For best performance, load garments in loose heaps
evenly around the basket wail. Do not load above the

stainless steel portion of the basket, as shown.

[] Do not overfill. Do not dilute. Do not use more than 1 cup

(250 mE) for a full load. Use lesswith a smaller load size.

[] Follow the garment and the chlorine bleach manufacturer's

directions for proper use.

[] To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not

let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.

[] At the end of the cycle, a small amount of water may be

[eft in the dispenser. This is normal.

NOTE: Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.

Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener
dispenser, if desired.

[] If you are using fabric softener, be sure to select Fabric

Softener from the options to assure proper dispensing.

[] Do not overfill. Do not dilute. The dispenser holds 3 oz

(94 ml_), or a capful of fabric softener.

[] Fabric softener is dispensed in a deep rinse when the Fabric

Softener option is selected. If Extra Rinse is selected, the
fabric softener will be dispensed during the final rinse.

[] Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls in this washer.

Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer.
[] Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
[] Atthe end of the cycle, a small amount of water may be [eft

in the dispenser. This is normal.

NOTE:

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

During wash and spin

This washer does not have a transmission. The motor provides

direct drive for agitation and spin. You will hear sounds that are
different from those of a conventional washer.

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your

garments.

[]

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this
type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency."
This wash system, along with less water, will create too
much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular

detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle
times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result

in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE
detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for
the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions

to determine the amount of detergent to use. Remember,
concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less
detergent based on load size.

Use only HE detergent.

[]

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items.

Tie strings and sashes to avoid tangles.

[]

Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and

ornaments.

[]

Empty pockets and turn them inside out; turn down cuffs. Turn
woo[ and synthetic [<nits inside out to avoid pilling.

[]

Brush away lint and dirt. Treat spots and stains; stained or wet
garments should be washed promptly for best results.

[] Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

Sorting

[] Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even

if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-
givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out.

[] Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non

colorfast items.

[] Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, [<nits, delicate

items).

[] Separate bulky, nonabsorbent items such as comforters,

pillows, and poly-filled jackets. Use the Bulky cycle for these

items.

Separate sheets, pillowcases, and light blankets or throws and

use the Sheets cycle for these items. For best performance,
drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall and
do not load items directly on the impeller for this cycle.

When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as

plastic lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarps, jackets, or
sleeping bags, select the lowest spin speed setting available for
the cycle and washer model being used.

Loadlng/Unloadlng

[] For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly

around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel
portion of the basket.

[] Remove clothes from the washer after the cycle is completed.

Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if

left in the washer basket for a long time.
