DETERGENT

Your Maytag Neptune _ washer is

designed to use either high efficiency , _1_1_1 (HE) detergents or regular detergents normally used with top-loading

washers.

For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency deter- gent such as Tide HE or Wisk 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 atten- tion 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.

If using the "PRESOAK" option, measure I-Y2

times the amount of detergent.

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

DETERGENT COMPARTMENT

I. Pour laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting the clothes washer or as it is filling.

2.If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added

with detergent to the detergent compartment for best results.

•When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the same form; granular or liquid.

AUTOMATIC DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of three compartments which hold I) liquid or granular detergent and color safe bleach, 2) liquid chlorine bleach and 3) liquid fabric soft- ener. All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dis- pensedat the appropriate time for most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser lid.
