Cycle Guide - Maytag MVWX500XL2 Use And Care Manual

WASH
Youwill hear the motor and washplate moving the load. Unlike
traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-water
cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent
as done in an agitator-style washer,this washer delivers the detergent
directly to the soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages
in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected soil level.
RINSE
Youwill hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses
and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly
(short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will be
added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use
spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water
removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
CYCLE GUIDE
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load
being washed.
