Cycle Guide - Maytag MVWX500XL1 Use And Care Manual

WASH
sensing wash rinse spin done
You will hear the impeller moving the load. Unlike traditional
washers, the load is not covered with water. 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. The motor sounds
may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time
is determined by the selected soil level.
SPiN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. Fabric softener will be added if
the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use
spray rinsing.

Use this cycle for heavily soiled or
sturdy items. Water-level sensing
process may take longer for some items
than for others because they will absorb
more water than other fabric types.
Extra Rinse is a default option, but may
be turned off. For maximum soil
removal use liquid chlorine bleach.
Use this cycle to wash large items such
as jackets and small comforters. The
washer will fill with enough water to wet
down the load before the wash portion
of the cycle begins. Do not overload
basket.

Use this cycle for normally soiled
cottons and mixed fabric loads. This
cycle uses spray rinses. Low speed and
No speed spins are not available.
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron
fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses,
casual business clothes, permanent
press, and blends.
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled
garments indicating "Machine
Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on
the care label. Place small items in
mesh garment bags before washing.
Hot/Cold High Extra Heavy
Combines a rinse and spin for loads
requiring an additionalrinse cycle
or to complete a load after power
interruption. Also use for loads that
require rinsing only.
This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying
times for heavy fabrics or special-care
items washed by hand. Use this cycle
to drain washer after cancelling a cycle
or completing a cycle after a power
failure.
Use once a month to keep the inside
of the washer fresh and clean. Higher
water levels and Affresh ® work together
to thoroughly clean the washer interior.
