DETERGENT USE
Your Maytag® Neptune® Top-Load washer is designed to use either high-efficiency (HE) detergents or regular detergents normally used with top-loading washers.
•For best cleaning results, use a high-efficiency detergent such as Tide HE,Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High-efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds.When less suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.
•When using regular detergent formulated for top-loading washers, it is important to pay close attention to the soil level of the load, load size, and water hardness**. To avoid over- sudsing, reduce the amount of detergent used with soft water or with small or lightly soiled loads.

**To determine water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or State University Extension office in your area.
