Using Your Washer - Maytag MVWB700BW Use And Care Manual

USING YOUR WASHER

1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
• Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat
can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly.
See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on using the
Bulky cycle.
• Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or
small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-
givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from
towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.

2.
Add laundry products
Add a measured amount of detergent or single-dose laundry packet
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.
3.
Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around the washplate. Do not load
garments directly over the center of the
washplate; when loaded, the center of the
washplate should be visible. Try mixing
different sized garments to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to
reduce wrinkling and tangling.
