We are all consciousof the need
to saveenergy—toprotect our
country'senergyreservesand to
help us savemoney.There are
severalthingsyou can do to reduce
the amount of energyneededto
wash your clothes:
1, Use Hot Wash—140°(60°C)—
on a regularbasisonly when
washingheavilysoiled
articles-such as work and play
clothes.
2. Under normal soilconditions,
wash in water above 80°1? (27°C).
This generallymeans using the
Warm Wash temperature setting
on your washer—temperatures
approximately95°F(35'C). If you
notice that soilhas accumulated
after severalconsecutivewashings,
use Hot Wash occasionally, i f safe
for fabrics.
3. Try to wash lessoften. Save
articlesof the sametype of fabric
until you have a full load.
4. If you must wash smallerloads,
adjust the amount of water. Small
loads should have lowerwater
levels.
5. Wash in off-peak utilityhours.
Yourlocal utilitycan tell you
which are the off-peak hours.
6. Use your washer'sNormal
Speed Spin. Youcan saveenergy
on the Gentle Cycleby switching
from Gentle Spin to Regular
Cycle/Normal SpeedSpin. This
willremovemore water during
spin, which willshorten drying
cycleto save more energy.The
drying willremoveany wrinkles
which may result from the Normal
Spin.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your
clothes and householditems don't
look clean and fresh after washing,
what are you apt to do? Youwill
probably then re-washthem ...
and that means you'llwaste
energy.Rememberto sort your
clothes carefully,and load them
properly, selectcorrect cycles,use
enough detergent and choosea
watertemperaturewarm enough
to releaseand get rid of soil.
