Whirlpool WTW2000HW Use And Care Manual page 17

For Portable Installations
Open the faucets connected to the water supply hoses.
Wash and Rinse water temperatures are set at your faucet.
The Temperature control does not set the temperature.
Adjust the Hot and Cold water faucets to desired wash
temperature. Keep the temperature control set at Tap Cold.
NOTE: The Tap Cold setting allows water from the faucet to
enter the washer, but does not control the incoming water
temperature.
For a rinse temperature that is different from the wash
temperature, you must adjust the water temperature at
the faucet after the washer has completed its initial fill.
To test the water temperature, press the red water-flow button
on the hose connector. Water will be released when the button
is pressed, allowing you to sample the temperature.
For Permanent Installations
The Rinse and Spin cycles default to a cold rinse, all other
cycles default to a warm rinse. Press the Temp button
to choose a different wash temperature.
Selecting Water Temperatures
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions
to avoid damage to your items.
Wash Temp
Hot
Some cold water is added
to save energy. This will be
cooler than your hot water
heater setting.
Warm
Some cold water will be
added, so this will be
cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
Cool
Some warm water may
be added to assist in
soil removal and to help
dissolve detergents.
Cold
A small amount of warm
water may be added to
assist in soil removal and
to help dissolve detergents.
Water will be colder than
"Cool" setting.
Tap Cold
This is the temperature
from your faucet.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60ºF
(15.6ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be
difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles
and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like
balls on the surface of garments).
