Maytag MAV8600AWW - Manual (Page 7)

Loading
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the
tub, up to the top row of holes for a max-
imum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets
around the agitator.
• Mix large and small items for best circu-
lation. Wash bulky items like blankets
separately.
LoadSensor ™ agitator
The LoadSensor™ agitator is specially
designed to be sensitive to every load. The
spiral fins will move continuously with large,
heavy loads. With smaller, more delicate
loads, the spiral fins will move intermittently,
or with very light loads, not at all. It is normal
to notice a difference in the agitator sound
from load to load.
Adjustable chime
The end-of-cycle CHIME will sound once
when the cycle is completed. The volume of
the chime can be set on HI or LO, or turned
completely OFF by setting the switch in the
upper right-hand corner of the control panel.
The chime can also be set to sound once
every 4 minutes until it is manually turned
off. (See Step 4 Select a Customized Cycle,
pg. 4)

• When laundering wrinkle free items or
items of delicate construction, washable
woolens or loosely knit items, never use
less than the MEDIUM water level set-
ting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrin-
kling and pulling of seams.
• For best results, add the detergent to
washtub before adding the load.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.
Fingertip faucet
The Fingertip Faucet can be used anytime
BEFORE the selected water level is
reached. A simple touch of the switch pro-
vides a 7-second flow of cold water.
