Modifiers - Kenmore Autimatic washers with Capypso wash motion Use And Care Manual

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save
energy.
WASH/RINSE TEMP
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest water safe for fabrics. Follow garment
label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

• ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
• When using ATC, warm water is added to the washer to
maintain a temperature of approximately 75°F (24°C), so
detergents dissolve properly.
• Warm washes are regulated at approximately 100°F (38°C).
• Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 75°F (24°C). This
is a cooler warm rinse than you are used to, but it saves
energy and gives proper rinsing. The load is a comfortable
temperature to remove from the washer.
