Load Articles
NOTE: Always add detergent first.
• Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by their
weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the best wash-
ing results.
• Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes
rather than the weight will determine load size. Do not pack
items in or wrap them around the agitator. Overloading can
cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and tears.

• Items should move freely through the wash water for best
cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and then reappear.
• When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as full as
with other loads.
Wash Temperature
Hot
Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recom-
mended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light
and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding
to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with non-
colorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and
acrylic.
Cold
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abili-
ties are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for col-
ors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.
All rinses use cold water. It is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold
rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will
save money and energy.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60°F [16°C],
detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffec-
tive cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Energy
You can save energy when washing by following a few guidelines:
1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy expense when
washing. Save on heating water by using warm or cold washes.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
