Maytag PAVT-5 Select Water Level, Select Wash/Rinse Temperature, Select Wash/Spin Speed

Using the Controls – 3 Speed (10 cycles)

STEP 1

Select Water Level

Determine the selected setting based on clothes load size. Selection should provide sufficient water to permit clothes to circulate freely during agitation. On select models, the Infinite Water Level control allows you to select a specific setting or anywhere in between.

It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust the water level, turn the control to reset and then back to the desired setting.

WATER LEVEL SETTING	LOAD SIZE
Mini	1/4 Full
Small	1/4 - 1/3
Medium	1/3 – 1/2
Large	1/2 – 2/3
Super	2/3 – Full

Note: Items must circulate freely for best results.
