Using Your Washer - Maytag MVWX655DW 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 items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and
colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry items if stains remain after washing because heat
can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during
washing.
Helpful Tips:
• For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing
bulky items.
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 garment 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your items.
2.
Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type booster,
or fabric softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to
adding laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Load laundry into washer
For best performance, load items in loose
heaps evenly around the washplate. Try
mixing different sized items to reduce
tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
