ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT:

Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle

times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component

malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents

should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of

suds for the best performance.

ADDING HE DETERGENT TO BASKET

Add a measured amount of HE detergent or single-

dose laundry packets into the basket. If using oxi-type

boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals,

add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding

clothes.

NOTE:

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to

determine the amount of laundry products to use.

ADDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL).

Do not use color-safe bleach or oxi products in the

same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into

dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for

correct amount of fabric softener based on your load

size. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser

with warm water until liquid reaches the underside of

the rim. See Max Fill line arrows.

IMPORTANT:

When using fabric softener, always use

the Deep Fill & Rinse knob to select a setting with

'+Extra Rinse' to ensure proper distribution at the

correct time in cycle.

CYCLE MODIFIERS

(Not all modifiers are available on

all cycles)

TEMPERATURE

Turn knob to choose the appropriate temperature for the cycle

(Tap Cold, Cold, Cool, Warm, or Hot).

DEEP FILL AND RINSE

Use one of the Deep Fill (Med, Max, Max + Extra Rinse) options

to automatically add more water to your wash cycle. You can also

use these options to reduce the likelihood of white residue on

dark clothing. By default, every cycle uses one rinse phase. To

add a second rinse phase, use one of the Extra Rinse options

('Max + Extra Rinse', 'Auto + Extra Rinse').

IMPORTANT:

Either Auto (+Extra Rinse) or Max (+Extra

Rinse) must be selected when using fabric softener.

NOTE:

If the washer detects an out-of-balance condition it may

pause and attempt and re-distribute the load. During this time the

Sense and Wash status indicators will both briefly illuminate.

WARNING:

Do not wash water-resistant or water repellant-type

clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in

an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could

result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance

damage.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE

A cycle guide for your washer can be found online at

www.maytag.com

. The document will help

identify which cycle to choose for various load types as well as the default cycle options. For

example we recommend using the Normal cycle with Warm water for cottons, linens and mixed-

garment loads.

MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT

AUTO SENSING AND DEEP FILL

■

When you select Deep Fill-Auto or Deep

Fill-Auto + Extra Rinse, the washer will

adjust the water level to the optimal

amount for a High Efficiency wash of the

detected load size.

■

Select Deep Fill -Med, Max or Deep Fill-

Max + Extra Rinse to automatically add

more water to your wash cycle.

■

It is recommended to use Bulky Items cycle with Deep Fill -

Max option for loads where maximum water level is desired.

■

Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill duration when

using the Deep Fill options besides Auto.

CLEANING WITH LESS WATER

The washer has been designed and

optimized to provide a thorough cleaning

using less water to conserve energy and

resources.

As the washer dampens and moves the

load, the level of the items will settle in the

basket. This is normal, and does not indicate

that more items should be added.

IMPORTANT:

You

will

not

see

a

full

basket

of

water

as

with

older,

less

efficient

washing

machines.

It

is

normal

for

some

of

the

load

to

be

above

the

water

line.

For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the Owner’s Manual

included with your machine.
