Sorting and Loading

• Sort clothes carefully by fabric type, weight, color

and amount of soil, according to instructions in How
to Sort Clothes section.

• Add measured amount of detergent. See Detergents

section for information on detergents and other
laundry additives.

• Load clothes into wash basket, being careful not

to overload. See How to Load Your Washer section.

• For information on how to use bleaches and fabric

softeners, see Other Laundry Products section.

• Close the lid. Washer will fill but not spin with

the lid open.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR YOUR WASHER

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 sort your clothes carefully, load them
properly, select correct cycles, use enough detergent
and choose a water temperature warm enough to
release and get rid of soil.

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.

Always rinse in cold water. The temperature

of the rinse does not affect cleaning.

Wash in off-peak utility hours. Your local utility

can tell you which are the off-peak hours.

Use your washer’s Normal Spin. This will remove

more water during spin, which will shorten the
drying cycle to save more energy.
