Using Yourwasher - Maytag MHW7000AW2 Use & Care Manual

USING YOURWASHER
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other fiarnmable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the NORMAL cycle and run it
without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer's
recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle
serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and
colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly
and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on
an inside seam.
IM PO RTANT:
[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can
plug pumps and may require a service call.
[] 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.
[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers from
lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint
from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat
can set stains into fabric.
[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
f2, Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach,
or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to
adding laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Load laundry into washer
Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer, items need to
move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the latch clicks.
[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.
See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.
[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load
evenly.
[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use
more than one bag and fill bags equally.
