The use of your Maytag Laundry Center can be as simple as touching a single pad for washing and the same for drying.

By simply touching the Regular, Permanent Press, or Delicates Knits pad, the washer will provide the appropriate cycle using warm water for washing followed by cold water for rinsing in a full tub of water. Many variations can be made in this automatic selection as is explained in this booklet; but these cycles, as provided, should wash a majority of the loads you do.

The same type of fully automated operation is provided by the dryer as well. Choosing Regular or Permanent Press will

provide for the normal drying of these loads without further attention on your part.

The washer and the dryer can be run at the same time or either by itself.

Below are brief instructions on how to use your Maytag Laundry Center. To use washer:

1. Place items in washer

2. Add detergent

3. Slide lid completely forward

4. Select wash program

5. Check: wash temperature load size

wash time rinse temperature

On the following pages are detailed instructions on how to use your beautiful new computer touch control washer and dryer. This is very likely a completely different type of control from what you are familiar with so please read and follow instructions to get the best results.

The first section of the instruction book is for the washer, the last section for the dryer.

To use dryer:

1. Place damp clothes in dryer

2. Select dryer program

3. Remove clothes from dryer upon completion of dry program.

I. Slide Lid Back

The washer lid slides back and forth to open and close. For your convenience a tub light comes on when you

open the lid. (Keep lid closed when you are not using the washer to prevent the tub light from operating

unnecessarily.)

ADD BLEACH, if needed

Undiluted liquid chlorine bleach may be added to the bleach dispenser as shown. Use amount recommended

on label of bleach bottle for the following number of gallons of water: SMALL - 11 gallons (9 Imperial gallons; 42 liters); MEDIUM -13 gallons (11 Imperial gallons; 49 liters); LARGE - 16 gallons (13 Imperial

gallons; 61 liters). Properly diluted bleach will be added automatically to the wash water.

NOTE: Be careful whenever you use a liquid chlorine

bleach. Do not pour directly on fabrics. Wipe up spills with a paper towel.

Oxygen bleach may be added following the instructions on the package. Do not put powdered bleach in bleach dispenser.

NOTE. All bleaches, whether liquid or granular, are

powerful chemicals and can cause fabric damage if not used properly. See MAYTAG

LAUNDERING GUIDE for details on using bleach.

PLACE CLOTHES IN WASHER

Put unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for maximum load. Do not pack or wrap

items around the agitator. See MAYTAG LAUNDER- ING GUIDE for suggestions on sorting into wash loads. Be sure to empty all pockets. Many a wash load has turned into a real problem because of an overlooked pin, crayon, lipstick, eraser, knife, nail, or other similar objects being left in a pocket.

ADD DETERGENT

You may use any laundry detergent. Add detergent to washbasket by moving clothes away from agitator and pouring measured amount around agitator unless deter- gent manufacturer instructs otherwise.

The amount of detergent to use depends on how big the load is, how dirty it is, and how hard the water is. See

MAYTAG LAUNDERING GUIDE for correct amounts to use; inadequate amounts may cause greying of

fabrics and other problems. Wipe up any spills of liquid laundry detergent on the

washer. Do not add detergent to fabric softener cup.

ADD FABRIC SOFTENER, if desired

Add recommended amount to cup in top of agitator. The cup may be lifted out for easy filling. Add water to

bring liquid level just below openings at the rim of the cup° Diluted fabric softener will automatically be added

to the final rinse° When using fabric softener, do not interrupt the spin

following wash because the softener will go into the

washbasket at the wrong time. Periodically clean the cup and the cap of the filter with

hot water and a soft brush or cloth. NOTE: Do not add fabric softener when using Soak

Only, Rinse or Spin programs.

Slide the lid completely forward and you are now ready to set the control°

PROGRAMS SOAK OR SPIN TIME

The left portion of the computer touch control panel programs the washer. The washer selections can be seen at a glance. Red

indicators light up in the pads of the programmed selections. Also, the progress of the washer program can be monitored. Red sequence lights for each portion of a program -- SOAK,

WASH, RINSE, SPIN -- light up in sequence as the washer operates. The number of minutes remaining in each portion of a program appears in the Digital Display.

Selections can be easily and quickly changed. A Washer Program, Load or Water selection is changed by touching another pad. Options are selected by touching the pad once or canceled by touching the pad agaim The "MORE" and "LESS" pads

are pressed to lengthen or shorten a portion of a program. Touching the "OFF" pad stops the washer and cancels all selec- tions.

The washer signal consists of 2 consecutive electronic tones. The signal will sound once every minute if the washer has stopped due to an unbalance condition, or if the washer cycle has not been resumed after a pause during the wash fill. It is necessary to

return to the washer to resume the cycle. There is no signal at the end of the washer program.

IMPORTANT: If you select a washer program while the lid i_ open, an "L" will appear in the

display and you must touch the "Pause/Resume" pad after closing the lid. If you do not touch the "Pause/Resume" pad after closing the lid, the washer will stop

after filling and an electronic tone will sound twice every minute.

SELECT WASH CYCLE

For Regular Fabrics, touch the center of the "Regular" pad. The washer will immediately begin fill- ing, automatically selecting a "Large" load, Warm Wash/Cold Rinse, and 10 min. of_agitation. ("10"

will appear in the Digital Display.) For Permanent Press Loads, touch the "Permanent Press" pad. The washer will immediately begin

filling, automatically selecting a "Large" load, Warm Wash/Cold Rinse, and 8 min. of agitation. ("8"

will appear in the Digital Display.) This cycle can also be used for nonpermanent press items when two deep rinses are desired.

For Delicate Loads (delicately constructed knits, sheer fabrics, lace trimmed and embroidered ar- ticles, lingerie, foundation garments, washable woolens, and "Hand Washable" items) touch the "Delicates Knits" pad. The washer will immediately begin filling, automatically selecting a "Large" Load, Warm Wash/Cold Rinse, and 6 min. of alternate periods of soak and agitation. ("6" will appear

in Digital Display.) You can change back and forth to any wash cycle until wash fill is complete.

NOTE: WASHER LID LOCK

This washer is equipped with a lid lock. Any time the washer is on and the lid is closed, the lid lock is engaged. The lid will unlock immediately during fill or agitate when either the

"Pause/Resume" or "Off" pad is touched. If the washer is in the spin mode, and the _'Pause/Resume" or "Off" pad is touched, there will be a six second delay before the lid

unlocks to assure the tub has stopped spinning. The washer will not agitate or spin with the lid

open but will fill with water. (See pg. 5, Pause/Resume)

2, SELECT LOAD SIZE

Since the "Large" load is automatically selected you only need to change the load selection if you are washing a medium or small load. You can, however, change back and forth from any load size by touching the "Large", "Medium" or "Small" pads.

Remember, for best washing results, clothes must circulate freely. If too little water is used, it may result in poor washing action and in certain cases, it may create wear on fabrics being washed.

SMALL--Use this setting when tub is less than 1/2 full of clothes. Tub fills with 11 gallons (9 Imperial gallons; 42 liters).

This level of water is below where the lint filter can function.

MEDIUM--Use this setting when tub is from 1/2 to 3/4 full of clothes. Tub fills with 13 gallons (11 Imperial gallons; 49 liters).

LARGE--Use this setting when tub is from 3/4 to full of clothes. Tub fills with 16 gallons (13 Imperial gallons; 61 liters).

NOTE: When laundering permanent press garments or garments of delicate construction, washable

woolens or loosely knit articles, never use less than the "Mediur_" setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.

1 SELECT WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE

Since a Warm Wash/Cold Rinse is automatically selected with all wash cycles, you only need to change this selection if you want a Hot Wash, a Cold Wash or a Warm Rinse.

Touch the "Hot" or "Cold" pad if you want a hot or cold wash temperature. Touch the "Warm Rinse" pad for a warm final rinse (spray rinse will always be cold), except for the permanent press program

where the final rinse will always be cold. Changes in wash and rinse selections can be made until the fill for wash or rinse is complete.

NOTE: Indicator lights on the left edge of each pad will be illuminated when that selection is made.

The indicator light will go out when that selection is canceled. The indicator lights as shown on Page 3 indicates the washer is in the Regular cycle, on the large load size, and. Warm Wash!Cold Rinse.
