Water Use
The amount of water used to wash loads of laundry will vary with each load. The Maytag Neptune TMstacked washer uses an IntelliFill device to provide the appropri-
ate amount of water for efficient cleaning performance and conservation of water and energy.
Care and Cleaning
Washer
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's
washing. This will shut off the water supply to the clothes washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth or glass
cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water followed with an appliance wax, if desired.
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer sate.
Dryer
Tumbler - If the tumbler becomes stained by a crayon,
ink pen or other item inadvertently left in a garment, clean the tumbler with an all purpose cleaner such as: Fantastik, Soft Scrub or Formula 409.* Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance.
Exhaust System Cleaning - While the lint filter will catch most of the lint from the load, some will get through and may buildup in the ductwork. It is important
to completely inspect and clean all lint accumulation from the interior of the ductwork once a year to maintain
drying performance. The exhaust hood at the outside of the home should be cleaned more frequently to ensure the damper opens and closes freely.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for more details on proper exhausting.
Storing the Maytag Neptune TM Super Stack
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:

Mix one cup of bleach or vinegar with four cups of water and pour the solution into the tub. Close the door, press the START/STOP button and allow the washer to complete a cycle. (Do not mix bleach and
vinegar in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.)
•Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.

the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the drain hose.
•Disconnect the clothes washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer door open to let air cir- culate inside the tumbler.
