Maytag W10176966C manual Extra Rinse, Fabrics Wash Water Temperature Suggested

Steam Clean

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment or loads with multiple types of stains. When Steam Clean is selected, the water temperature of the selected

wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to the temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain removal This option will provide

optimal removal of organic stains such as blood and temperature-sensitive stains such as oil,

in the same cycle. This option is available on the following cycles: Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, and Whitest Whites.

Extra Rinse

A second rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the normal rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle.

Preset cycle settings of Soil I.evel (cycle time), Wash Temperature, and Spin Speed can be changed. You can change these settings by using modifiers. Modifiers can be changed before or during the cycle until that part of the cycle starts. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options.

To change Soil I.evel (cycle time), select the SOIl. I.EVEI. button until the desired setting illuminates.

To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the desired setting illuminates.

To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting illuminates.

Water Temp

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.

Warm rinses leave the loads drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

•Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification

organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
