Energy Saving Tips
••
••
• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra
energy. Undersize 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.

WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE sets the water
temperatures for washing and rinsing. Select
wash water temperature according to fiber
content and soil level of the load, and type of
detergent used. A cold water rinse saves energy
and reduces wrinkling.
