Automatic Dispenser

The washer has separate compartments for dispensing

detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach and

NT

SOFTENER

EACH

our Maytag washer is designed to use high efficiency

(HE) detergents.

Detergent

• For best cleaning results, use a high

efficiency detergent such as Tide HE,

Cheer 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

attention to the soil level of the load, load size, and

water hardness**.

To avoid over-sudsing which

causes extended cycle times, reduce the

amount of detergent used with soft water or

with small or lightly soiled clothes.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove

any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue

that may remain in the washer as a result of washing

clothes. We recommend taking the following steps

every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer

interior. The frequency with which the washer should

be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as

usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run

through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure

to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory

conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or

permanent stains on the washer or washload.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two

cups warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash

the bleach solution.

2. Wipe the door seal with bleach solution and a soft

cloth.

3. Fill bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.

4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot

water.

5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.

Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a

recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.

Cleaning the Automatic

Dispenser and Compartment

The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned

periodically due to laundry additive buildup.

1. Press the release lever on the inside of the

dispenser and pull out.

2. Remove the cups from the fabric softener and

bleach compartments.

3. Wash all of the parts under running water.

4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.

5. Reinsert the cups, pushing them firmly into place.

6. Push the dispenser back into place.

7. Run a Rinse & Spin cycle without any load in the

washer.

Reconnaissez Les Étiquettes, Phrases

Et Symboles Sur La Sécurité

• N’ajoutez pas d’essence, de solvants de

nettoyage à sec ou toute autre substance

inflammable ou explosive à l’eau de lavage. Ces

substances produisent des vapeurs qui peuvent

s’enflammer ou exploser.

• Dans certaines conditions, il peut y avoir

production d’hydrogène dans un système de

chauffage d’eau qui n’est pas utilisé pendant 2

semaines ou plus. L’HYDROGÈNE EST UN

EXPLOSIF. Si votre système de chauffage d’eau

n’est pas utilisé sur une telle période, ouvrez

tous les robinets d’eau chaude et laissez couler

l’eau pendant plusieurs minutes avant d’utiliser

votre laveuse ou votre ensemble machine à

laver-sécheuse. Ceci élimine toute accumulation

d’hydrogène. Ce gaz étant inflammable, ne

fumez pas et n’utilisez pas de flamme vive

pendant ces quelques minutes.

7. Débranchez le cordon d’alimentation électrique

avant d’essayer de réparer la laveuse.

8. N’introduisez pas une main ou un bras dans

l’appareil si la cuve est en mouvement.

9. Ne permettez pas aux enfants de jouer sur ou à

l’intérieur de l’appareil. Une supervision étroite des

enfant

s est nécessaire lorsque l’appareil est utilisé

à proximité d’enfants.

10. Ne modifiez pas les mécanismes de commande.

11. Ne réparez pas ou ne remplacez pas une pièce de

l’appareil ou ne procédez pas à un dépannage,

sauf si les instructions publiées le recommandent

et que la personne effectuant la réparation les

comprend et possède les connaissances voulues

pour les exécuter.

12. Rangez les produits pour la lessive dans un endroit

frais et sec hors d’atteinte des enfants.

13. Ne lavez pas ou ne séchez pas d’articles tachés

d’huile végétale ou de cuisson. Ces articles

pourraient être encore imprégnés d’huile après la

lessive. Pour cette raison, le tissu pourrait émettre

des fumées ou prendre feu de lui-même.

14. Ne mélangez pas de javellisant et d’ammoniaque

ou d’acides (tels que du vinaigre ou du produit

pour enlever la rouille) pour une même charge de

linge. Des vapeurs nocives peuvent se former.

15. Ne lavez pas d’articles en fibre de verre à la

machine. De petite

s particules peuvent se coller

sur le linge lavé par la suite et provoquer des

irritations cutanées.

16. Avant de retirer l’

appareil du service ou de le

mettre au rebut, retirez le couvercle du

compartiment de lavage.

17. Ne vous asseyez pas sur la laveuse.

18. Les tuyaux d’alimentation se détériorent

progressivement. Inspectez le

s tuyaux à intervalle

régulier; recherchez dilat

ations, écrasements,

coupures, fuites et indices d’usure. Remplacez les

tuyaux après 5 ans de service.
