SET WATER TEMPERATURE

CONTROL

Your washer lets you select a wash and rinse water temperature setting based on the type of load 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.

*In wash water temperatures colder than 70_F, detergents do not dissolve welt. Also, soils may be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling - the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Pilling is the natural result of wearing and washing of garments.
