appropriate for the load size. For best results, DO NOT
overload. Add items loosely to the tub. The dry load
should not be higher than the top of the agitator vanes.

to enter the tub, turn the knob to the desired setting.

water temperature suitable for the fi ber content and soil
level of each load. A cold water rinse saves energy and
reduces wrinkling.

water during rinse. If a warm rinse is selected, the washer
will fi ll with warm water during rinse.

Energy Saving Tips
Gentle/Slow
• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy. Undersized
loads waste energy.
• When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower
water levels.
• Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load.
Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
• To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed to remove
more water from heavy items such as towels and jeans.
• Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot water
washes to heavily soiled and white loads. Use cold water
for lightly soiled items and rinsing.
• Operate the washer in early morning and late evening
when utility demands are low.
• Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.
