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. If the 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-Efficlency 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.
MNTELMFMLLTM 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. Laundry 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.
Clean Boost with Heater
The Clean Boost with Heater option helps to ensure better soil and
stain removal. Clean Boost with Heater uses the heater within the
washer to maintain the selected temperature setting throughout
the wash period. This option will add some additional time to the
cycle based on which temperature is selected. Clean Boost with
Heater reduces the need for pretreatment and is safe for all fabrics.
High Efficiency (HE) Detergent
This washer is designed for High Efficiency (H E) detergent use only.
HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds and
give the best performance in low water wash systems.
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.
Delay Start
Delay Start allows you to load your washer and pause the start of
the cycle for up to 10 hours.
End Signal - Off - Low - Hi
The EndSignal produces an audible sound when the wash cycle is
finished. This signal is helpful when you are removing items from
the washer as soon 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.
Use only High Efficiency (HF) detergent.
Sanitary with Oxi Cycle
This washer is NSF certified to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria when
used in conjunction with the Oxi Treat Stains option. To achieve
NSF sanitization, set the washer on the Sanitary cycle. Be sure to
add an oxygen based stain fighter.
QUICK START GUIDE/WASHER USE

Your Maytag washer is equipped with an "Auto Wake-up"
feature. Press any button or open and close 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
settings.)
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.
U._eonly HE detergent.
1.
Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "[.aundry
Tips."
[] Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items. Items should move easily through the wash
water.
[] Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning. Items need to move easily through
the wash water.
[] For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly
around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless
steel portion of the basket as shown.

2.
Pour measured powdered or liquid H Edetergent into the
High Efficiency detergent dispenser. Always use the detergent
dispenser, and do not put detergent directly onto clothes
in the washer.
3.
Add laundry boosters (powdered or liquid) into the Oxi Treat
Stains dispenser, if needed. [.aundry boosters are automatically
dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle. Do not
mix laundry boosters and chlorine bleach in the same cycle.
Be sure to select Oxi Treat Stains from the options to assure
proper dispensing.
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.
[] 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
left 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.

in "Cycles.")
ATC is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cool/Cold
settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold
settings depends on the water temperature at the water inlet
faucots.

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.
U._eonly HE detergent.
[]
Close zippers, snaps, an(] 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
wool and synthetic [<nits inside out to avoid pilling.

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
nonco[orfast items.
[] Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
[] Separate bulky, nonabsorbent items such as comforters, pillows,
and po[y-fi[[ed jackets. Use the Bulky cycle for these items.
WASHER CARE
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 washer after the cycle is completed.
