For an extended soak, allow the washer to fill and

out the Cycle Selector knob to complete the cycle.
Do not use the Fabric Softener Dispenser or the
Mini-Basket tub with the Soak Cycle.
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

Under normal soil conditions,
wash in water above
80°F.

using the Warm Wash

washer—temperatures

comfortable. If you notice that
soil has accumulated after several
consecutive washings, use Hot
Wash occasionally, if safe
for fabrics.
Always rinse in
cold
water. The
temperature of the rinse does not
affect cleaning.
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.
