If your clothes and household
items don't look clean and fresh
after washing, you will probably
rewash them.. and that means
you'll waste energy. Remember to
sort your clothes carefully, and
load them properly, select correct
cycles, use enough detergent and
choose a water temperature warm
enough to release and get rid
of soil.
Start the washer. After washer fills and begins to
agitate, push in the Cycle Selector knob and turn to
SOAK CYCLE. Pull out the Cycle Selector knob to
complete the cycle.
For an extended soak,
agitate for a few minutes to dissolve the soaking
agent. Then push in the Cycle Selector knob to stop
the washer (keep lid closed) and allow to soak for
as long as desired. After desired soak period, pull
out the Cycle Selector knob to complete the cycle.
Do not use the Fabric Softener Dispenser or the
Mini-Basket tub with the Soak Cycle.

comfortable. If you notice that
soil has accumulated after
several consecutive washings,
use Hot Wash occasionally, if
safe for fabrics.
Try to wash less often. Save
articles of the same type of fabric
until you have a full load.
If you must wash smaller loads,
adjust the amount of water.
Small loads should have lower
water levels.
allow the washer to fill and
Always rinse in cold water. The
temperature of the rinse does not
only
affect cleaning.
Wash in off-peak utility hours.
Your local utility can tell you
which are the off-peak hours.
Use your washer's Normal Spin.
This will remove more water
during spin, which will shorten
drying cycle to save more energy.
You can use the Normal Spin in
place of the Gentle Spin usually
recommended for Permanent
Press items. Switch to any of the
Fabric Care Programs that
indicate a Normal Spin. (See
Setting the Controls section.)
The dryer will remove any
wrinkles which may result from
the Normal Spin.
Use your Mini-Basket tub for
very small loads. It uses less
water than the small water level
in the big tub on this washer.
You will also save on detergent
and energy.
