• •• • • 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.

content and soil level of the load, and type of
detergent used. A cold water rinse saves energy
and reduces wrinkling.
