• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top
row of holes for a maximum load. Do not pack down the
load.
• 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” cycle with similar
lightweight items.
• 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.
• Do not overload the washer when washing large, bulky
items such as comforters, blankets or mattress pads. Loosely
load bulky items no higher than the top row of holes in the
washer tub. Overloading may reduce washer efficiency and
could damage items. Use the “Bulky Items” cycle for these
loads.
• The Bulky Items cycle is tailored to extract the proper
amount of water to thoroughly clean bulky items. Selecting
any other cycle may not effectively clean such items.The
“bulky items” cycle can be accessed by touching “cycle
library” on the Home screen or use the Cycle Library
option pad.
• When washing heavily soiled loads, it is very important to
avoid overloading the washer to assure good cleaning results.
• To load a forgotten item, press the Start/Pause touchpad,
wait for the Locked light to go out, add the item, close the
lid and press the Start/Pause touchpad. After a pause of
up to one minute, the cycle will resume.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming
NOTE: To assure that your additional items get clean, do not
wait more than five minutes after the cycle has started to add
the item .

The amount of water used will vary with each load. Since the Maytag
Neptune
®
Top-Load washer is designed for high efficiency, you will notice
much less water in the tub than a conventional washer.This is normal.The
Maytag Neptune
®
Top-Load washer uses an adaptive fill system to
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.
