Ene~y-Sating Tips
If your clothes and household items
don't look clean and fresh after
washing, you will probably re-wash
them . . .and that means you'll waste
energy. l?emember to sort your
clothes carefi.dly,and load them
properly, select correct cycles, use
enough detergent and choose a
water temperature warm enough to
release and get rid of soil.
Use Hot Wash—up to 150°F.—on
a regular basis only when washing
heavily soiled articles-such as
work and play clothes.
Under normal soil conditions,
wash in water above 80°F. (Z7"C. ) .
This generally means using the
Warm Wash temperature setting
on your washer—temperatures
approximately 90° to llO°F.or
hand 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 havelower water levels.
Wash in off-peak utilit y hours.
Your local utility can tell you which
are the off-peak hours.
Use Normal Spin Speed to remove
more water and help lessen drying
time. The dryer will remove any
wrinkles caused @ 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. Youwill also
save on detergent and energy.
