Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash 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.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
6TH SENSE™ Technology
The 6TH SENSE™ Technology control electronically senses and
maintains a uniform water temperature. 6TH SENSE™
Technology control regulates incoming hot and cold water. 6TH
SENSE™ Technology control is automatically turned on when a
cycle is selected. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles." 6TH
SENSE™ Technology control ensures consistent cleaning.
6TH SENSE™ Technology control works for all wash
temperature settings.
6TH SENSE™ Technology works for the rinse temperature
where the wash temperature setting is marked with an
asterisk, such as Warm*. All other rinse temperatures are
cold.
