P.S.:

The young lady probably has her hand over Huck's nose so that enough of his face is obscured to eliminate the chance that Hanna-Barbera might claim unauthorised use of their character. It's definitely Huck, possibly a Western Auto toy, because WA had some merchandising efforts tied into Hanna-Barbera stuff. One year, their whole catalogue featured the Jetsons.

All Hanna-Barbera character names copyright, Marca Registrada, and TM. Your mileage may vary. Offer void where prohibited. Batteries not included. This is Gary Olsen speaking.

pre-soak and main wash dispensing

Maytags never required second doses of detergent. The water for the soak and wash were the same. The machine went from soak to wash without changing the water. My '97 Dependable Care and my '87 real 'tag do the same....

Does this model ask us to put liquid detergent in the famous Maytag rinse conditioner cup?

 

[cehalstead]

oops!!!!

I stand corrected. Indeed I am wrong.......but, IIRC, later models didn't mention this in the instructions (perhaps after the introduction of enzyme detergents in the late '60's)...but I could be wrong about this, too.....

 

[mickeyd]

But wouldn't you love to know how they did it!!??;'D

When I find out about what some of these TOL machines could do, that were beyond the price range of most of us back then, I go crazy with wonder and excitement.

Ben,
That was so great to see that brochure again. I remember my Mother bringing that brochure home when she bought her A502S/De502 set in Decmber of 1964. Of course I was miffed because she didn't buy the 702 set.

Even adds new detergent...

You could add liquid detergent to the fabric softener dispenser cup in the agitator to dispense after the pre-wash spin. There was no drain/spin between the soak cycle and the main wash so there would be no need to use the cup-dispenser then. I use the soak & wash cycle a lot on my 806.

Pre-wash, pause, spin, fill, soak, main wash....

This was probably one of the last brochures that the Maytag combination was featured - not too long after, Maytag recalled them all. If you owned one and were willing to give it back, they would replace it with a TOL washer and dryer at no charge. That must have cost them a fortune!

Ding, Ding, Ding ...

Brett is correct; you used the conditioner cup for detergent after the soak cycle!! BUT ... you used LIQUID detergent ONLY; not powdered. You could use powdered detergent in the soak cycle but if you didn't have liquid detergent in the dispenser cup, your wash was washed without additional detergent. The spinning between soak and wash treated the detergent like liquid fabric softener; it spun it out of the cup and down the lint filter and was pumped out of the agitator. VERY messy, I'm sure. Can you imagine how thick liquid detergent is and all of it coming out of that cup?

Ben ... I LOVE this brochure; I'm so glad you got it! Like we've talked about before, it shows Maytag's wonderful history so well.

My mother was lucky and had a Maytag AMP when my parents were first married in the early 1950's and I remember her getting her Super Highlander A502S in 1964 when I started Kindergarten. Just before her AMP gave out, she was able to have her first dryer, too; she got a DE502; the match to her washer.

I love the sales info on the conventional washers, too; aren't they great? Mickey; not sure why they don't talk about the powerful pump on those machines. Guess just not enough space!!

Thanks, Ben ... great brochure!!
