Deep fill is a setting on your Maytag washer that allows you to use more water for your laundry cycles. This is useful for heavily soiled items or larger loads of clothes that need extra rinsing.
Here's what you need to know about deep fill:
- Increased Water Usage: Deep fill uses more water than a standard wash cycle, which can be helpful for heavily soiled items or large loads.
- More Thorough Cleaning: The extra water helps to better loosen dirt and grime, ensuring a more thorough clean.
- Potential for Longer Cycle Times: Deep fill cycles may take longer to complete due to the increased water usage.
- Energy Consumption: Deep fill cycles consume more energy than standard cycles, so use them sparingly.
When to Use Deep Fill:
- Heavily soiled items: Clothes that have been exposed to dirt, mud, or other heavy stains may benefit from a deep fill cycle.
- Large loads: When washing a full load of laundry, deep fill can ensure that all items are properly cleaned.
- Delicate fabrics: Some delicate fabrics require extra rinsing to remove detergent residue, making a deep fill cycle suitable.
Tips for Using Deep Fill:
- Check the load size: Only use deep fill when you have a full load of laundry.
- Consider the fabric type: Use deep fill for heavily soiled items or delicate fabrics that require extra rinsing.
- Be mindful of energy consumption: Deep fill cycles consume more energy, so use them sparingly.
