Alliance Laundry Systems FTS80A*H, FTU80A*H, FTZ80A*H Available Water Temperatures

Available Water Temperatures

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading.

The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer’s recommendations.

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save money and energy.

NOTE: The Energy Saver settings, marked with an asterisk (*), show which temperature settings will use the least energy.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
