CONTROL

Your washer lets you select a wash and

rinse water temperature setting based on

the type ofload you are washing.

• Using warm rinse water will leave loads

dryer after the spin cycle than if you use
cold rinse water. However, warm rinses
may increase wrinkling when line drying.
• In cold climates, warm rinse water also
provides a more comfortable temperature
for handling the wash load. Warm rinse
is controlled to 75°F.
