Enei^-savìng tips

Washer

If your clothes and household items don’t look clean and freish after washing, you will probably re-wash 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—140T. (60°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 95 ®F. (35 ®C.). 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

• Sort clothes \iy weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, slower-drying items.

• Do not overload dryer. The drum should be no more than half full of wet articles. For efficient drying, clothes need to tumble freely. Overloading prolongs drying time and produces uneven drying.

• Use Automatic Drying Cycle whenever possible to help prevent overdrying and save energy.

• To help prevent ironing, remove garments immediately at end of drying cycle and place on hangers.

• Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer will save energy.

• Clean lint filter each time you dry.

• Clean dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen drying time.

• 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.

How to remove stains

1. Try to remove stains as soon as possible. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove.

2. Before attempting to remove any stain, take these steps:

® Find the fabric and the finish in the guide on the next page, and use only recommended methods.

• Check the care label instructions that came with the garment.

• Test stain removal product on a hidden inside seam or on a sample of the material.

• Avoid use of hot water on unknown stain. It can set some stains.

3. Follow stain removal with a thorough rinsing.

4. wash with recommended amount of soap or detergent.

The Case of the “Invisible” Stain. Food or cooking oils on your synthetic garments may cause stains which are virtually invisible and which you may not notice as you put your clothes into the washer.

If these stains are not completely removed in the wash, the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water. Then they will become very visible and you may think they were caused by the wash cycle itself.

Once these spots become visible, how can you remove them?

® Rub in undiluted liquid detergent and let stand 30 minutes.

® Re-wash usmg hottest water the fabric can stand.

• Insufficient deteigent. You may need to increase the amount of deteigent used, if the load is larger than normal, if soil is heavier than average (especially oily soil), if water

level is high, or if water hardness is above average.

• Water is not hot enough for type of load. Make sure water heater is set to deliver hot water at the washer 140®- 150®F. (60®- 66®C.). Do not wash when other hot water needs—such as dishwashing or family baths—are heavy.

• Poor or inferior detergent (or use of soap in hard water). Change to phosphate detergent if possible.

Follow these steps:

• Use water conditioner (such as Calgon brand).

• Use hottest water possible.

• Pretreat stains.

• Use bleach where possible.

• Use presoak aids.

• Washer overloaded. Clothes cannot move freely to loosen and remove soil, causing T7r^llr«i/ IrvoHttirY *i/^r 01*7^

need to use twice the recommended amount of detergent.

• Washing too long may result in increased soil redeposition. Use shorter wash time for smaller loads.

• Detergent dissolves too slowly. It is important that detergent be present in the wash solution at the start of wash agitation.

To restore grayed clothes—

Most grayed clothes can be at least partially restored by the following procedure:

(a) Put clothes in washer. (b) Fill with HOT water. Check manufacturers’ hang tags to determine if hot water is

suitable for garment. (c) Add a non-precipitating type of water softener such as Calgon brand with

phosphate. Use 2Vi times as much as you need for normal water softening. (d) Do not add soap or detergent.

(e) Allow clothes to go through complete cycle. (f) Repeat, if necessary.

Pretreat with liquid detergent.

• Incorrect sorting of clothes. Separate lint-producers (such as terry towels and chenille) with lint-receivers (such as man-made fabrics, velveteen, corduroy).

• Washing too long, especially for smaller loads. For normal soil, use 1 minute per pound of dry clothes.

• Use of non-phosphate detergents which combine with hardness minerals in water to form a precipitate which can be mistaken for lint.

• Use phosphate detergent or liquid detergent; use warmer wash water or soften water

with an installed mechanical softener or a packaged water softener.

• Undissolved granular detergent may leave powdery residue on fabrics which can be mistaken for lint.

completely in wash water before adding clothes. (d) Make certain clothes have ample room to move in washer. (e) Use a warmer wash water.

• Overloading of washer will cause abrasion which creates excessive lint. Wash fewer

items in each load. Make sure water level is correct for size of load.

• Too much bleach. Over-bleached items, such as towels, will shed excessive lint. Use

correct amount of bleach according to package directions.

• Not enough detergent. Enough detergent must be used to hold lint in suspension during wash cycle. Increase amount of detergent used. Amount is determined by water

hardness, size of load, degree of soil and amount of water. See page 13.

• Incorrect use of fabric softener. If used in wash cycle, many softeners may react with detergent to create a white deposit. Use fabric softeners only in rinse cycle, unless package specifies adding to wash cycle.

• Pilling, usually on polyester-cotton blends, is caused by normal wear and may look like lint. Turning clothes inside out may help.

• Static electricity caused by overdrying will cause attraction. Use fabric softener in

rinse cycle.

To correct—

All of the above causes of residue except pilling can usually be removed from garments

through use ofcorrect laundry procedures.

• Pins on gsnnente or shnrp objects left in pockets. Remove sll pins, check poc^ts of all garments before putting in washer. Also check washer to see if any objects remained in wash tub.

• Snaps, hooks, sharp buttons, belt buckles, zippers. Make sure all hooks, snaps and buttons are fastened. Remove sharp buttons and belt buckles. This is very important

when washing knits, which snag easily. T\im knits inside out.

• Improper use of chlorine bleach. Holes may have random square shape; yeUow

discoloration, fabric will be weak at edges of hole. (a) Use only correct, measured amount of bleach. (b) Never add undiluted bleach to washer tub nor allow clothes to come in contact with

undiluted bleach. Do not wipe up bleach spills with clothes.

(c) Damage from chemicals such as hair preparations (bleach, dye, home permanent solution), battery acid, some toilet bowl cleaners. Immediately rinse thoroughly towels and other articles which have come in contact with these chemicals before putting them

loads should always be smaller than regular loads.. .no more than medium loads.

• Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use permanent press wash c^'cle which provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, use automatic dry cycle.

• incorrect water level. Use large level for medium load; medium level for small load.

• Repeated washing in too hot water. Wash in cold or warm water with plenty of detergent.

• Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If a non-phosphate detergent must be used, avoid the use of a carbonate-built detergent.

• Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrinkling.

To remove stubborn wrinkles—

1. Retumble on automatic dry setting widi small load.

2. Rerinse and dry on automatic dry setting.

3. If unsuccessful, retumble on high heat for 10-12 minutes and hang immediately.

5. Send to cleaners for pressing.

6. Some wrinkles may remain which cannot be removed?

*NOTE: K you follow good laundry procedures and permanent press clothes still come out wrinkled, the

finish may not be good qualiQr. Also, in permanoit press ^nttetic/cotton blends, the cotton portion of the fabric can eventually wear away leaving only the synthetic. Since the cotton has resin finish that imparts the memory, a loss or decrease of permanent press performance will result.

• Some fabrics will shrink whether washed in a washer or by hand; others be

safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow garment manufacturers* care instructions exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or dry. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used

to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by

washing in cool or warm water; drying on low or delicate heat.

• Controls improperly set. Check all controls to make sure they are correctly set for the load you want to dry.

• Improper ducting. Make sure dryer is ducted in accordance with Installation

Instructions.

• Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of obstruction, make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If metal flexible ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is installed according to Installation InstFuCticns.

• Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household ftises or circuit breakers.

Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped, and the dryer to still tumble without heat.

• Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to-dry items with lightweight articles.

• Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

• Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles, even

if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

• If your dryer is operating on a 208-volt circuit, longer drying times can be expected.

When replacing the agitator, carefully lower it straight down onto the agitator support block and

Dryer

If your dryer is exhausted to the outside, inspect and clean the dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year.

How to reduce the possibility of

a fire hazard, if your dryer is not exhausted to the outside:

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. When the dryer is not exhausted

to the outside, this lint is more apt

to accumulate in and near the dryer, which could create a fire hazard.

• Clean the lint filter before every load. See page 7.

• Inspect the area behind the front access panel at least once a year and clean out any lint that may have accumulated, wipe or vacuum, being careful not to disturb any electrical or mechanical connections.

How to remove the front access panel between the washer and drver
