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.
Use Hot Wash—up to
150°F.
(65°C.
)— 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.
(27°C.).
This generally means using
the Warm Wash temperature setting on your
washer—temperatures approximately
W°F.–l
10°F.
(32°C.–380C.)
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 have lower
water levels.
Wash in off-peak utility 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 by 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.
