Mini-Basket tub with the Soak Cycle.
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

● 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.
● Always rinse in cold water. The
temperature of the rinse does not
affect cleaning.
● 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 Normal Spin Speed to
remove more water and help
lessen drying time. The dryer
will remove any wrinkles caused
by the Normal Spin.
● 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.
