Wash clothes efficiently
About 90% of the energy used to do laundry comes from heating the dryer. To save energy and money, we recommend that you:
- Use cold water to wash whenever possible and always use cold water to rinse
- Adjust the water level to match each load size, especially when using hot water
- Clean the dryer lint filter before each dry cycle
- Do not overload the dryer
- Use the auto sensor function, if available, to avoid the dryer running longer than necessary
