Undersize loads waste energy. • When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower water levels. Normally soiled white/colorfast Warm/Cold cotton, perm press Lightly soiled cotton, perm press and noncolorfast fabrics, knits, delicates Cold/Cold Load Size Turn the Load Size knob to select a water level appropriate for the load size. For best results, DO NOT overload. Add items loosely to the tub. The dry load should not be higher than the top of the agitator vanes. There should be enough water in the tub for items to move freely. • Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load. Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads. • To reduce drying time, select a wash cycle with a fast spin speed to remove more water from heavy items such as towels and jeans. • Operate the washer in early morning and late evening when utility demands are low. • Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.
