Use and Care

Iron

If iron is present in the water, the clothes may become
an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown
or orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible in
the water.
Solutions to Iron Problems
The installation of a water softener will remove small
amounts of iron from the water supply. The
installation of an iron filter may be necessary for more
severe cases. If the iron comes from the pipes, it may
be sufficient just to let the water run into the empty
washer for about one minute. This may help to clear
the pipes. Spin this water out of the washtub before
starting the wash.
If iron comes from the water heater, drain the heater
occasionally to remove the rust.
If the Iron Condition Cannot Be Corrected
Prepare the wash water first by adding detergent (not
soap), then add the clothes to the washtub. Use a
phosphate detergent. The phosphate content of a
detergent is listed on the package side panel.
Add a nonprecipitating water conditioner to the
washtub just before the rinse water enters. Do not use
fabric softener in the rinse water if a packaged water
conditioner is used.
Iron With Chlorine Bleach
The use of chlorine bleach with water that contains
iron will make the rust discoloration worse. Use an
"all fabric" bleach.

Wash Temperature

Hot Water
Hot water will give the best results of cleaning and
sanitizing, but it is not suitable for all items. It is best
for sturdy whites and colorfast items, heavily soiled
items and diapers.
Warm Water
By using warm water, there is less chance of color loss
in items. Warm water also reduces wrinkling in
permanent press items. Use with light and moderate
soils, non-colorfast or dark colors, permanent press,
silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.
Cold Water
Cold water is less effective in cleaning than hot or
warm water, but it does minimize wrinkling and color
fading. Use it for washing extra-sensitive clothes and
for the rinsing of all fabrics.
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 cold rinses.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Use soak cycles for heavily soiled items to
reduce wash times.
4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled
items.
