Maytag MAV-5 important safety instructions Using the Controls, Select Wash/Rinse Temperature

Using the Controls

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 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
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.

STEP 2

Select Wash/Rinse Temperature

Your washer gives you a choice of hot, warm or cold water for washing and cold or warm water for rinsing. Use the chart below as a guide.

WASH/RINSE	LOAD TYPE
TEMPS
Hot/Cold	White and heavily soiled, color-fast
	items.
Warm/Cold	Moderately soiled, colored items;
	most wrinkle-free items.
Cold/Cold	Brightly colored, lightly soiled
	items; washable woolens.

Note: In wash water temperatures below 60° F (16° C), detergents do not dissolve well or clean well. Care labels define cold water as up to 85° F (29° C).
