. . read the instructions! How many times have I heard (and said) that?
I don't know about you but I usually read the instructions when I buy a new appliance and then they get filed away. Often I also go to the manufacturer's website and download the manual on to my laptop so that when I need them next time I can find them without too much struggle. But the only time I look for them is when all else has failed! I forget that there may be things in the manual which will help me use the appliance better.
On a whim (we are sixteen months into very restricted activities!) I decided to check the washing machine manual. I bought the machine in 2013 so it's a while since I've checked. I have my favourite programmes which I use most weeks. I know how to clean it. It is working safely and the clothes get clean. Why bother with the manual?
However, I want to reduce my electricity consumption so I wondered if the manual would help. And it did! There, right in front of me, on the control panel, was a button which I'd never really noticed - never mind pressed. It's a "Time Save" button. Press it once for "daily soiled" items and twice for an extra quick programme for items with almost no soil. I wear aprons a lot of the time so my clothes don't get too bad and a light wash is all they need. Over the next few weeks I shall be experimenting.
(Sorry it is so long since I was here. Must do better, Thank you for visiting,)
That's a very clever button to have, I don't think there is one on our machine, I'm off to have a look.
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish my washer had that button. However I think I better make a few more aprons first.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
My machine has a similar button which I use regularly as I thank my mother for insisting I wear an apron at all times in the kitchen :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant!! How long does this shorter program take?
ReplyDeleteI've now written a post to answer this one, Kezzie. Thanks for asking.
