Available Water Temperatures

The Boosted Hot Wash (some models) will boost the water temperature in the tub to 60°C (140°F) and is useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle will not advance until 60°C (140°F) has been reached. The time needed to reach this temperature may add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and restarting a cycle with a different water temperature setting.

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer. The heater element will not be on.

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: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
