Maytag Neptune Washer MAH-3 - Manual (Page 4)

• The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfold-
ed 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 lin-
gerie 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 clean-
ing results.
• To add a forgotten item in the Super Wash, Normal,
Whites (select models), Colors (select models),Wrinkle
Control or Quick Wash cycles, press the Cycle
Selector dial, wait for the Door Lock light to go out
(5 seconds), add the item, close the door and press the
Cycle Selector dial. After a pause of one to two
minutes, the cycle will resume.
