J /ATER USE

I.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I

The amount of water used will vary with each load.The Maytag Neptune'_TL clothes washer uses an adaptive fill system to auto-

matically provide the appropriate amount of water for efficient cleaning performance and conservation of water and energy. Fill

time will vary depending on water pressure.

DETERGENT USE

Your MaytagNeptune'_TL washer is

designedto useeither high efficiency

(HE) detergents or regular detergents

normally usedwith top-loading wash-

ers.

• For best cleaning results, usea high efficiency

detergent such asTide HE,Wisk HE,Cheer HE

or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain

suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds.

When lesssudsare produced, the load tumbles

more efficiently and cleaningresults are maxi-

mized.

• When using regular detergent formulated for

top-loading washers, it is important to pay close

attention to the soll level of the load, load size,

and water hardness**. To avoid over-sudsing,

reduce the amount of detergent used with

soft water or with small or lightly soiled

loads.

* Brand names are trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

*_ To determine water hardness in your area,contact your local

water utility or State University Extension office in your area,

FEATURES

The washerhasseparate compartments for dispens-

ing detergent and color-safe bleach,chlorine bleach

and fabric softener. All laundry products can be

added to their respective compartments before start-

ing the washer.

The detergent dispenser MUSTALWAYSbe in place

before starting the washer.

The Detergent Dispenser is located under the lid of

the washer. There are two compartments in the dis-

penser,one for liquid detergent and liquid color-safe

bleach,and one for powder detergent and powder

color-safe bleach.

The dispenser willautomatically dispensethe deter-

gent and color-safe bleach(if used) asthe washer fills.

NOTE:

• When usingcolor-safe bleach,add it to the

appropriate dispenser compartment (liquid or

powder) with the detergent. Do not mix liquids

and powders in the samecompartment of the

dispenser.

FEATURES

The Chlorine BleachDispenser is located on the left

side of the washer tub.To use the dispenser:

Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL llne.The liquid

chlorine bleachcompartment will hold I/3 of a

cup.

Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.

Over-filling the compartment will not dam-

age the load but will release the liquid chlo-

rine bleach into the clothes washer too

early to be effective.

3. The washerautomatically dispensesbleach into

the tub in the first rinse.This maximizesthe effec-

tiveness of the bleach.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine

bleachbefore it reaches the wash load.

NOTES:

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach

directly onto the load or intothe tub. It is a

powerful chemical and cancausefabric dam-

age,such asweakening of the fibers or color

loss,if not usedproperly.

• If you prefer to usecolor-safe, non-chlorine

bleach,add it to the appropriate detergent

compartment. Do not pour color-safe bleach

into the chlorine bleachdispenser.

The Fabric Softener Dispenserislocated on the right

side of the washer tub.To usethe dispenser:

I. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric

softener into the softener compartment. For

smaller loads use less than one cap full.

2. Fabric softener should be diluted with warm

water until it reaches the MAX FILL line on the

compartment Do not fill above the MAX FILL

line. If the compartment is filled above the

MAX FILL line, fabric softener will enter

the clothes washer too early to be effective.

3. Thiscompartment automatically releasesliquid

fabric softener at the proper time during the final

rinse portion of the cycle.

NOTES:

• Use the softener compartment only for liquid

fabric softeners.

• Do not usethe Downy Ball* with this washer.

It will not add fabric softener at the appropri-

ate time and may damagethe washer.Use the

dispenser in the washer.

* Brandnames aretrademarks of the respectivemanufacturers.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q. What's the best cycle to use if l have stains on my laundry?

A. For most fabrics,select the Normal cycle with the Stain Treat soil level. For heavy-duty fabrics,select the Super Wash

cycle. Pretreat the stainswith a laundry pre-treat product. Refer to the enclosed Laundering Tips booklet for more infor-

mation on treating specific stains.

Q. How large of a load can l wash in my Maytag Neptune _washer?

A. The tub can be loaded loosely up to the top row of holes, but do not pack clown the load. If the load is heavily soiled it is

very important not to overload the washer.

Q. At the end of the cycle my load comes out wetter than normal.What causes this?

A. During tumble and spin,the washer may havehad di_culty getting to a full spin speed becausethe load was not evenly dis-

tributed.This can occur with very small loads,heavyor bulky items or a load in which too much detergent was used,caus-

ing over-sudsing.

Q. My laundry items seem to be very wrinkled at the end of the cycle. What can I do to correct the problem?

A. Wrinkling is caused by the combination of heat and pressure. Be sure wrinkle free or permanent press fabrics are washed

on the Wrinkle Control cycle, and a cold rinse is used. (See pg. 4 for WASH/RINSE Temperature). DO NOT USE MAX-

EXTRACT SPIN.

Q. My whites are not as white as i'd like.What can I do?

A. Wash white loadsusingthe Whites fabricselection. Selectthe hot wash/coldrinse temperature setting and put I/3 cup of

chlorine bleachin the bleachdispenser.The bleachwill be dispensed in the first rinse to provide optimal whitening.Maytag

recommends a hot water wash temperature of 120-140° F(49°- 60°C).
