I.Slide Lid Back
The washer lid slides back and forth to open and close. For your convenience a tub light comes on when you open the lid. (Keep lid closed when you are not using the washer to prevent the tub light from operating unnecessarily.)
w ADD BLEACH, if needed
Undiluted liquid chlorine bleach may be added to the
bleach dispenser as shown. Use amount recommended
on label of bleach bottle for the following number of
gallons of water: SMALL - 11 gallons (9 Imperial gallons; 42 liters); MEDIUM
gallons; 49 liters); LARGE - 16 gallons (13 Imperial gallons; 61 liters). Properly diluted bleach will be added
automatically to the wash water.
NOTE: Be careful whenever you use a liquid chlorine
bleach. Do not pour directly on fabrics. Wipe up spills with a paper towel.
Oxygen bleach may be added following the instructions
on the package. Do not put powdered bleach in bleach dispenser.
NOTE. All bleaches, whether liquid or granular, are
powerful chemicals and can cause fabric
damage if not used properly. See MAYTAG
LAUNDERING GUIDE for details on using bleach.
m PLACE CLOTHES IN WASHER
Put unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for maximum load. Do not pack or wrap items around the agitator. See MAYTAG LAUNDER- ING GUIDE for suggestions on sorting into wash loads. Be sure to empty all pockets. Many a wash load has turned into a real problem because of an overlooked pin, crayon, lipstick, eraser, knife, nail, or other similar objects being left in a pocket.
1 ADD DETERGENT
You may use any laundry detergent. Add detergent to
washbasket by moving clothes away from agitator and
pouring measured amount around agitator unless deter-
gent manufacturer instructs otherwise.
The amount of detergent to use depends on how big the load is, how dirty it is, and how hard the water is. See
MAYTAG LAUNDERING GUIDE for correct amounts
to use; inadequate amounts may cause greying of fabrics and other problems.
Wipe up any spills of liquid laundry detergent on the washer.
Do not add detergent to fabric softener cup.
