SELECTING WATER

Wash Water

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 drier 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..
