QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q. What's the best cycle to use if I have stains on my laundry? A. Select the stain cycle option pad and heavy soil (see page 4) setting. Pretreat the stains with a laundry pre-treat product. Q. How large of a load can I wash in my Maytag® Neptune® washer? A. The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfolded clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly. If the load is heavily soiled it is very important not to overload the washer. Q. At the end of the cycle my load comes out wetter than normal. What causes this? A. During tumble and spin the washer may have had difficulty getting to a full spin speed because the load was not evenly distributed.This can occur with small loads, heavy items or a load in which too much detergent was used, causing oversudsing. Q. My laundry items seem to be very wrinkled at the end of the cycle. What can I do to correct the problem? A. Wrinkling is caused by the combination of heat and pressure. Be sure wrinkle free or permanent press fabrics are washed on the wrinkle free cycle, and a cold rinse is used. (See pg. 3 for WASH/RINSE Temperature). DO NOT USE MAXEXTRACT. Q. My whites are not as white as I'd like. What can I do? A. Wash white loads using the cotton/sturdy fabric selection. Select the hot wash/cold rinse temperature setting and put 3/4 cup of chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.The bleach will be dispensed in the final minutes of the wash providing for optimal whitening. Maytag® recommends a hot water wash temperature of 120-140˚ F (49˚- 60˚ C). 14
