Using Your Washer - Maytag MVWB865GW 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 agitator 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. the See the "Cycle Guide" chart for tips and more
information on using the Bedding 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 garments.
2.
Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packets, color-safe bleach, 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 agitator.
Try mixing different sized items to
reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely
for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
