CONTROL
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.

detergents do not dissolve well. Also, soils may
be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling -
the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Pilling is the natural result of
wearing and washing of garments.
