What's New Under The Lid - Maytag W10560158B-SP Use And Care Manual

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LiD?
Cleaning with Less Water
Traditional agitator-style
washer
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
The most striking difference in your new washer is the low=water
washplate wash system. The washer automaticaiiy adjusts the
water level to the load size--no water level selector is needed.
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid wiii lock, and the washer wiil
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level for
the load. This may take severaI minutes before water is added. You
wiii find a step=by=step description in the "Cycle Status Lights"
section.
You wiii hear the motor turn the basket in short puises to thoroughly
wet the load. This low=water wash method uses iess water and
energy compared to a traditionaI agitator=style washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use oniy High Efficiency detergents. The package wifl be
marked "H E" or "High Efficiency_' Low=water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a reguiar non=HE detergent. Using regular
detergent wiii iikeiy result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may aiso 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.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent,
For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in loose
heaps evenly around the washpJate.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low=water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than
diluting detergent as done in an agitator=style washer, this washer
delivers the detergent directly to the soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises that are different from those of your previous washer. For
example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the
cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self=test. There wiii be different
kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the washplate moves the
load. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at ail, as the washer
determines the correct water level for your load or ailows time for
clothes to soak.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more garments should be added.
IMPORTANT: You wiii not see a washer basket furl of water as
with your past agitator=style washer. It is normal for some of the
load to be above the water line.
