STACKED WASHER/DRYER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Washer

Always do the following to maintain washer freshness:

n Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

n Leave the door slightly open after each cycle to allow for better

ventilation and drying of washer interior.

n Clean the washer monthly using the Washer Maintenance

Procedure, using 160 mL (2/3 cup) of liquid chlorine bleach.

n If the procedure does not sufficiently improve the washer

freshness, please evaluate your installation and usage

conditions for other causes.

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking

new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1. Unlock the dispenser drawer for removal by inserting a flat-blade

screwdriver into the catch release. Remove the dispenser drawer.

2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach

compartments).

3. Wash the parts under running water.

NOTE: Do not wash components in the dishwasher.

4. Replace the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.

Water inlet hoses

Replace the inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of

hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,

kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.

If you need help, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the

appliance, or a Maytag designated service company. When calling,

please know the purchase date and the complete model and serial

number of your appliance. This information will help us to better

respond to your request.
