Energy-saving Tips

Weare all consciousof the need

to saveenergy—toprotectour

country’senergyreservesand to

helpussavemoney. l%ereare

severalthingsyou cando to reduce

theamount ofenergy neededto

washyourclothes:

%.UseHot Wash-–up to 150°F’—

on a regular

basisom’ywhen

washingheavilysoiled

articles—suchaswork and play

clothes.

2. Under normalsoilconditions,

washin waterabove80°F(27°C).

Thisgenerallymeansusingthe

WarmWashtemperaturesetting

on your washer—temperatures

approximately90”Fto 110°l?or

hand comfortable.If younotice

that soilhasaccumulatedafter

severalconsecutivewashings,use

Hot Washoccasionally,if safe for

fabrics.

3. Alwaysrinsein Cold Water.The

temperatureof therinsedoesnot

affect cleaning.

4. Tryto washlessoften. Save

articlesof the sametypeof fabric

untilyou havea fullload.

5. If you mustwashsmallerloads,

adjust the amount of water.Small

loadsshouldhavelowerwater

levels.

6. Washin off-peak utilityhours.

Yourlocalutilitycan tellyou

whichare the off-peak hours.

7. Useyourwasher’sNormalSpin.

Thiswillremovemore water

How topartially restore dotks

Onceclotheshavedeveloped

restored bysoakingin a solution

of two cupsof vinegarin one

gallonof hot tap-water for 15min-

utes. USE A PLASTIC CON-

TAINER. Then washclothesin the

washerusingdetergent.

CAUTIONS:

~Do not usevinegar soak

solution in washer The acidic

action of the vinegar may

damage the porcelain.

~Vinegar soak solution may

reduce the wrinkle-resistance of

permanent-press fabrics.

oVinegar soak may damage the

dyes in some fabrics.
