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, 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—up to 150°F. (65°C.~n 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 90°F.–l 10°F. (32°C.-380C.) or hand comfortable. If you notice that soil has accumulated after several consecutive washings, use Hot Wash occasionally, if safe

for fabrics.

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.

Use your Mini-Basket tub for very small loads. It uses less water than the small water level in the big tub on this washer. You will also save on detergent and energy.
