F EATURES DETERGENT DETERGENT COMPARTMENT Your Maytag Neptune® washer is designed to use either high efficiency (HE) detergents or regular detergents normally used with top-loading washers. 1. Pour laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting the clothes washer or as the washer is filling. 2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with detergent to the detergent compartment for best results.
F EATURES CONT. BLEACH COMPARTMENT SOFTENER COMPARTMENT (Chlorine Bleach Only) 1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment. For smaller loads use less than one cap full. 1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line. The chlorine bleach compartment will hold 3/4 of a cup. 2. Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment. Overfilling the compartment will release the chlorine bleach into the clothes washer too early. 3.

Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur. Cabinet – clean with soap and water.
