WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your washer lets you select a wash and
rinse water temperature setting based on
the type of load you are washing.
Some washers allow you to select
warm rinses:
• Using warm rinse water will leave loads
dryer 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 tempera-
ture for handling the wash load.
