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.
• Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot
water washes to heavily soiled and white
loads. Use cold water for lightly soiled items
and rinsing.
• Operate the washer in early morning and late
evening when utility demands are low.
• Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid
rewashing.
Cycle Selection
(continued)
Perm Press Cycle
Provides up to 12 minutes of wash agitation for
cottons and blends with a no-iron finish.
Knits & Delicates Cycle
Provides 8 minutes of wash/pause agitation for
the gentle care of knit and delicate items.
Always set the Knits & Delicates cycle to begin
at the START position.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care
labels.
WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE sets the water
temperatures for washing and rinsing. Select
wash water temperature according to fiber
content and soil level of the load, and type of
detergent used. A cold water rinse saves energy
and reduces wrinkling.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse
temperatures for basic fabric types.
Wash/Rinse
Fabric Type Temperature
Heavily soiled white/colorfast Hot/Cold
cotton, perm press
Lightly soiled white/colorfast Warm/Cold
cotton, perm press

LOAD SIZE sets the amount of wash and rinse
water for the wash load. Select a water level
appropriate for the load size. There should be
enough water for items to move freely.
