D etergent D etergent C ompartment
Your Maytag Neptune® 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 deter­
gent such as Tide HE or Wisk 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.
• When using regular detergent formulated for top­
loading washers, it is important to pay close atten­
tion 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.
If using the “PRESOAK” option, measure \-'A
times the amount of detergent.

To determine water hardness in your area, contact your local
water utility or State University Extension office in your area.
1. Pour laundry detergent directly into the detergent
compartment before starting the clothes washer or
as it is filling,
2. If color-safe bleach Is to be used, it should be added
with detergent to the detergent compartment for
best results.
• When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is
best if both laundry products are in the same form;
granular or liquid.
A utomatic D ispenser
The automatic dispenser consists of three compartments
which hold I) liquid or granular detergent and color safe
bleach, 2) liquid chlorine bleach and 3) liquid fabric soft­
ener. All laundry products can be added at once in their
respective dispenser compartments. They will be dis­
pensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning.
After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser,
close the dispenser lid.
