Starting Your Washer
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. 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.
1. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See “Laundry
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.
2. Pour measured powdered or liquid HE detergent 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. Laundry 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 mL) for a full load. Use less with 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.
5. 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.
Use only HE detergent.
