WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating appliance.

Always contact your manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

RECOGNIZE SAFETY SYMBOLS, WORDS, LABELS

WARNING

WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury or property damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

7. Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your clothes washer.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the tumbler is moving.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them.
• Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
• Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
• Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
• Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.
• Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundering Tips booklet.

LOAD THE CLOTHES WASHER

• The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfolded clothes. However, DO NOT pack the tub tightly.
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie in the Delicates or Hand Wash (select models) cycle with similar lightweight items.
• When washing big bulky items or a couple of small items that do not fill the tub completely, such as a rug, a few towels should be added for improved tumbling and spin performance.

• When washing smaller, bulky items that do not fill the tub completely such as a rug, one pillow, stuffed toys or one or two sweaters, a few towels should be added for improved tumbling and spin performance.

• When washing heavily soiled loads, it is very important to avoid overloading the washer to assure good cleaning results.

WATER USE

INTELLIFILL™ WATER LEVEL CONTROL

The amount of water used will vary with each load. The Maytag Neptune® clothes washer will automatically 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 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:

I. 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

I. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment 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-suds-ing, 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.

• 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.

PREWASH COMPARTMENT (SELECT MODELS)

When using the Prewash option (select models), detergent should be added to both the Prewash Compartment and the Detergent Compartment. The detergent will be automatically dispensed during prewash.

• If high efficiency (HE) detergent is used, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Prewash Compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the Detergent Compartment.
• If regular detergent is used, add 1/6 of the recommended amount to the Prewash Compartment and 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Detergent Compartment.

BLEACH COMPARTMENT

(Liquid Chlorine Bleach Only)

I. Add chlorine bleach to the Bleach Compartment. DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.
2. Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
3. The washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the appropriate time.
4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches the wash load.

NOTES:

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, add it to the appropriate detergent compartment. DO NOT pour color-safe bleach into the chlorine bleach dispenser.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

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 MAX FILL in the compartment.
3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.

NOTES:

• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.
• DO NOT use the Downy Ball* with this washer. It will not add fabric softener at the appropriate time. Use the automatic dispenser.

CARE AND CLEANING

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. Leave the door open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out.

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. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.

Cabinet - Clean with soap and water.

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:

I. 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 DISPENSERS

The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive buildup.

I. Press the release lever on the inside of the dispenser and pull out.

1. Remove the cups from the fabric softener and bleach compartments.
   3.Wash all of the parts under running water.
2. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
3. Reinsert the cups, pushing them firmly into place.
4. Push the dispenser back into place.
5. Run a Rinse & Spin cycle without any load in the washer.

STORING THE CLOTHES WASHER

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:

• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run the washer through the cycle without a load.

• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.

• Disconnect the clothes washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer door open to let air circulate inside the tumbler.

• If the washer has been stored in below-freezing temperatures, allow time for any water left over in the washer to thaw out before use.
