Automatic Wash Temperature

The normal temperature of warm and cold wash water can be affected by the hot water heater setting and seasonally low ground water temperatures in some geographic areas. Since detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65?? F, select an Automatic Wash Temperature to regulate the temperature of the warm and cold wash water in any cycle.

Wash water in the Automatic Warm/Cold and

Automatic Warm/Warm settings is regulated to approximately 90?? F. and the wash water in the Automatic Cold/Cold setting is regulated to approximately 70?? F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.

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.
