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.
