ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT: Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle
times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents
should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance.
ADDING HE DETERGENT TO BASKET
Add a measured amount of HE detergent or
single-dose laundry packets 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.
ADDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup
(236 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or oxi
products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine
bleach.
ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER
If you desire to use liquid fabric softener with
this washer, Maytag suggests using the
Downy Ball dispenser. Pour a measured
®
amount of liquid fabric softener into the
Downy Ball dispenser, pull the ring tightly to
®
seal it, and place on top of load. Follow
manufacturer's directions for correct amount of
fabric softener based on your load size. The
Downy Ball ® dispenser will automatically
release the fabric softener at the correct time in
the cycle. For questions on using the
Downy Ball dispenser visit www.downy.com.
®
NOTE: When using fabric softener, always use
the Soil & Rinse knob to select a setting with
'+Extra Rinse.' This will ensure that no fabric
softener remains on clothing after the cycle is
finished.
ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER MANUALLY
IMPORTANT: Select the Fabric Softener option on the control panel
before starting a cycle. During the final rinse, wait until the washer has
completed filling, press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift
the lid and add the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Close
the lid, press and hold the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.

TEMPERATURE
Turn knob to modify the cycle's available temperatures (Tap

DEEP FILL
Use the Deep Fill knob to determine how much water you want to
add to your wash cycle. Set it to Auto for the machine to
automatically determine the optimal water level.
Set it to Max for the maximum allowable water level for that
cycle. Higher water levels can be used to reduce the likelihood of
white residue on dark clothing.
MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT
� It is recommended to use Bulky Items cycle with Deep Fill-Max
option for loads where maximum water level is desired.
� Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill duration when using
the Deep Fill options besides Auto.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE
For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the Owner's Manual
included with your machine.
For information on any of the following items, a full cycle guide, warranty, detailed product dimensions, or for complete instructions for use
and installation, please visit www.maytag.com/owners or in Canada www.maytag.ca/owners. This may save you the cost of a service call.

AUTO SENSING AND DEEP FILL
� When you select Deep Fill-Auto, or
Deep Fill-Auto + Extra Rinse, the washer will
adjust the water level to the optimal amount for
a High Efficiency wash of the detected load
size.
� Select Deep Fill-Med, Max or Deep Fill-Max +
Extra Rinse to automatically add more water
to your wash cycle.
A cycle guide for your washer can be
found online at www.maytag.com. The
document will help identify which cycle to
choose for various load types as well as
the default cycle options. For example
we recommend using the Normal cycle
with Warm water for cottons, linens and
mixed-garment loads.

SOIL AND RINSE
Use this knob to choose the soil level as well as the number of rinses
desired. If using fabric softener, make sure to use the two topmost
settings which add an Extra Rinse to the cycle.
EXTRA POWER
Turn the Extra Power knob to On for a boost in cleaning performance
on any wash cycle.
NOTE: The Extra Power option will increase the duration of the
cycle.
NOTE: If the washer detects an out-of-balance condition it may
pause and attempt to correct the situation. During this time the
Sense and Rinse/Spin status indicators will both briefly illuminate.
WARNING: Do not wash water-resistant or water repellant-type
clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an
abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could result in
physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.
CLEANING WITH LESS WATER
The washer has been designed and
optimized to provide a thorough cleaning
using less water to conserve energy and
resources.
As the washer dampens and moves the
load, the level of the items will settle in the
basket. This is normal, and does not indicate
that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a full basket of water as with older,
less efficient washing machines. It is normal for some of the load
to be above the water line.
PRE-TREATING AND SOAKING
� Water will automatically drain if water level becomes too high.
Water will also drain after 10 minutes if the lid is left open or
3 hours if the lid is left closed.
