DETERGENT USE

Your Maytag Neptune® washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

•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.

If HE detergent is not available, regular detergent may be used.

FEATURES

AUTOMATIC DISPENSER

The washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach and fabric softener. All laundry additives are added to their respective compartments before starting the washer.

The Automatic Dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting the washer. DO NOT open the Automatic Dispenser when the washer is running.

To use:

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left side of the control panel.

2. Fill appropriate compartments with laundry additives, being careful not to overfill or spill additives.

3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and completely back into the compartment.

DETERGENT COMPARTMENT

1.Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compart- ment before starting the washer.

2.If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with detergent to the detergent compartment.

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

NOTE: If using liquid detergent, lower the Detergent Selector and add the detergent to the Detergent Compartment.

• If 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, which interferes with tumbling, rinsing and spinning and causes extended cycle times, reduce the amount of detergent used with soft water or with small or lightly soiled loads.

NOTE: Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning. It is important to pretreat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level and avoid overloading.
