Your Maytag ® Neptune ® Top-Load washer
is designed to use either high-efficiency
(HE) detergents or regular detergents
normally used with top-loading washers.
• 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.
The detergent dispenser is located under the lid of
the washer. There are two compartments in the
dispenser, one for liquid detergent and liquid
color-safe bleach, and one for powder detergent and
powder color-safe bleach.
The dispenser will automatically dispense the
detergent and color-safe bleach (if used) as the
washer fills.

NOTES:
• When using color-safe bleach, add it to the
appropriate dispenser compartment (liquid or
powder) with the detergent. Do not mix liquids
and powders in the same compartment of the
dispenser.
• Do not place detergent or softener bottle lids,
caps or dispensers into the washtub. Damage to
the load or washer may result.
• 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, reduce the amount of
detergent used with soft water or with
small or lightly soiled loads.
