ENERGY-SAVING
TWS
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.
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.
Always rinse in cold water. The temperature
of the rinse does not affect cleaning.
Wash in off-peak utility hours. Your local utility
can tell you which are the off-peak hours.

Spin. This will remove
more water during spin, which will shorten drying
cycle to save more energy.
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.
