Important Safety Information
⚠️ WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read the Important Safety Instructions provided before installing or operating this appliance.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
⚠️ WARNING
Do not wash water resistant or water repellent type clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance conditions that could result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.
Operating Instructions

Add HE detergent and laundry products and close the drawer. Add liquid chlorine bleach to the dispenser cup as needed.

-

Choosing the Right Cycle & How to Load
For best performance, load items by dropping them in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not lay items lengthwise.
NOTE: If the washer detects an out-of-balance condition, it will attempt to redistribute the load. During this process, the machine will display a visual alert and automatically resume the cycle once the task is complete.
Extra Power: Boosts stain fighting with intense pre-wash and extra agitation.
Pet Pro: Unleashes additional water and a deep rinse to assist the Pet Pro Filter, which lifts and captures pet hair from clothes. Pet hair is caught in the built-in Pet Pro Filter.
NOTE: Do not put pets in the washer.
Deep Fill: Provides more water with Medium, High, or Max Fill options. The extra water works with robust wash action to saturate loads, loosen stains, and help soak away tough messes.
Cleaning the Pet Pro Filter
The Pet Pro Filter is intended to be cleaned after each cycle. If not cleaned, remaining hair can reduce its effectiveness.
-
Remove Filter:
- Impeller Type: Press the button to unlock the filter and turn it counterclockwise to remove it from the base.
- Agitator Type: Turn the filter counterclockwise to remove it from the base.
-
Remove pet hair from the outside and inside of the filter.
-
Reinstall Filter:
- Impeller Type: Place the filter in the base, push down, and rotate clockwise until it locks. Ensure it is securely locked before starting a cycle. A properly locked impeller filter will produce a snapping sound when securely engaged.
- Agitator Type: Place the filter in the base and rotate clockwise until it locks. Ensure it is securely locked before starting a cycle. A locked agitator filter will be unable to rotate counterclockwise.

Cycle Guide
Normal cycle with warm water is recommended for cottons, linens, and mixed garment loads. Refer to garment label instructions for best care. Find the full Cycle Guide online for more information on default/available settings for each cycle.
NOTE: Not all cycles, settings, or options are available with all models.
| Cycle Name | Cycle Description |
|---|---|
| Normal | Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons, linens, and mixed fabric loads. |
| Delicates | Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled items indicating "Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. Place small items in mesh garment bags before washing. This cycle uses a higher pre-set water level. |
| Quick Wash | Use this cycle to quickly wash lightly soiled garments and small loads. The Quick Wash cycle uses shorter periods of more intense washing to clean items quickly. |
| Heavy Duty | Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items that need additional cleaning effort. Water Level Sensing process may take longer for some items than others because they will absorb more water than other fabric types. |
| Bulky Items | Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets, sleeping bags, sheets, and small comforters. The washer will fill with enough water to wet down the load before the wash portion of the cycle begins, and uses a higher water level than other cycles. |
| Towels | Provides additional water and alternating wash action for heavily soiled loads including Towels, Jeans, and other sturdy fabrics. |
| Whites | This cycle, when used with chlorine bleach, improves whitening of soiled white fabrics. |
| Colors | Use this cycle to wash bright or darkly colored garments, including mixed loads and active wear. |
| Sanitize w/ Oxi | Use this cycle to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria when used in conjunction with Oxi additives on heavily soiled and colorfast fabrics. Preset cycle settings must be used to achieve proper sanitization. Be sure to add an Oxi product to the basket before starting cycle. |
| Custom Cycle | Create your own unique cycle from scratch or select one of our pre-made included specialty cycles in the Maytag™ App. See Connectivity section for more information. |
| Drain & Spin | A high-speed spin with the option of a rinse only cycle for loads requiring an additional spin-out to reduce drying times or an additional rinse cycle to refresh a load or complete a cycle after power interruption. If you wish to run a Rinse & Spin Cycle, select the Drain & Spin cycle and then select the Extra Rinse Option. |
| Clean Washer with affresh® | Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. Use with affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. |
