wash cycle. If desired, use a bleach or a soaking agent
safe for the fabric.
• Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using a half
dose of detergent.
Prewash

help remove protein-based stains such as milk,
grass and blood. Prewash provides 3 minutes of
agitation before the water drains. Use the amount of
detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle.

water temperature selected. To avoid setting protein
stains, select cold water.
• Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using

care labels.
Wash/Rinse Temperature
Turn the Wash/Rinse Temperature knob to select the
wash water temperature suitable for the fiber content
and soil level of each load. A cold water rinse saves
energy and reduces wrinkling.
To conserve energy, the hot wash water is regulated to
approximately 120 °F. Warm and cold wash and rinse
water temperatures are not regulated.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures for
basic fabric types.

Energy Saving Tips
• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy. Undersize
loads waste energy.
• When small wash loads cannot be avoided, uselower 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.
• Usewarmwatertowash mostloads. Limit hotwaterwashes
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.
