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
If you desire to use liquid fabric softener with this
washer, Maytag suggests using the Downy Ball
dispenser. Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into the Downy Ball
®
dispenser, pull the
ring tightly to seal it, and place on top of load.
Follow manufacturer's directions for correct
amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
The Downy Ball
®
dispenser will automatically
release the fabric softener at the correct time in the
cycle. For questions on using the Downy Ball®
dispenser visit
www.downy.com.
NOTE: When using fabric softener, always use the
Soil & Rinse knob to select a setting with '+Extra
Rinse.' This will ensure that no fabric softener
remains on clothing after the cycle is finished.
ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER MANUALLY
IMPORTANT: Select the Fabric Softener option on the control panel before
starting a cycle. During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed
filling, press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add
the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Close the lid, press and
hold the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.

SOIL AND RINSE
Use this knob to choose the soil level as well as the number of
rinses desired. If using fabric softener, make sure to use the
two topmost settings which add an Extra Rinse to the cycle.
EXTRA POWER
Turn the Extra Power knob to On for a boost in cleaning
performance on any wash cycle.
NOTE: The Extra Power option will increase the duration of the
cycle.
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.
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.
PRE-TREATING AND SOAKING
� Water will automatically drain if water level becomes too
high. Water will also drain after 10 minutes if the lid is left
open or 3 hours if the lid is left closed.
