Washer - Maytag Stacked Laundry Use & Care Manual

Operating Tips - Washer
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For
best results, be sure detergent is added to the
washer BEFORE the load and be sure wash
water is above 60º F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load
size, soil level and water conditions. Use more
detergent if you have hard water and very soiled
loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use
less detergent. (See manufacturer's instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Additional Tips
• During the spin, it is possible for the load to become
unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push
in the control dial, open the lid, redistribute the load,
close the lid and restart the washer. The spin will
resume at the point it was interrupted.
• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal.

Loading
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to
the top row of holes for a maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the
agitator.
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash
bulky items like blankets separately.
• When laundering permanent press items or items
of delicate construction, washable woolens or
loosely knit items, never use less than the
MEDIUM water level setting. This will minimize
shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.
• For best results, add the detergent to the washtub
before adding the load.
• This washer is designed so that it will not agitate or
spin when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with
the lid open so water is available for pretreating
stains or diluting fabric softener.
• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer
will stop. When the lid is closed and the washer is
restarted, the washer will continue the cycle at the
point it was interrupted.
