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.

• Operate the washer in early morning and late

evening when utility demands are low.

• Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.

To conserve energy, the hot wash water is regulated
to approximately 120° F. Warm and cold wash and
rinse water temperatures are not regulated.

Load Size

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. There should be enough water in the tub for
items to move freely.

Cycle Selection (continued)

Colors Cycle

This cycle provides up to 12 minutes of normal
agitation and a fast spin for cottons and blends
with a no-iron finish. A cool down spray rinse
helps reduce wrinkling.

Delicates Cycle

This cycle provides 8 minutes of wash/pause
agitation and a short spin for the gentle care of
knits and delicate items. Always set the
Delicates cycle to begin at the START position.

Cycle Settings

For best results, follow washing instructions
on fabric care labels.

Wash/Rinse Temperature

Turn the Wash/Rinse Temperature knob to select
the wash water temperature suitable for the fiber
content and soil level of each load. A cold water
rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
