SET TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your washer lets you select a wash and
rinse water temperature setting based
on the type of load you are washing.
• The wash water temperature used the
last time a cycle was run is stored in
CUSTOM MEMORY and is displayed
when the cycle is selected again.
• The TEMPERATURE Control adjusts
the temperature of the wash water only.
All rinses are cold unless the WARM
RINSE Option is selected.
• You cannot select WARM RINSE with
a hot wash due to federal standards
for energy conservation.
TEMPERATURE
WARM RINSE OPTION
Selecting this option
changes the preset cold
rinse to warrn rinse unless
a hot wash is selected.
Pressing WARM RINSE
with a hol wash selected
will result in three short
tones sou_nding - which
indicates an unavailable
option was selected.
• We recommend cold rinses for most
loads to reduce wrinkling and save
energy. Cold rinses have proven to
be as effective as warm rinses and
they save the energy necessary to
heat the water.
_PTIONS
• Warm rinse is regulated at approxi-
mately 7'5°1 = for all warm rinses. This
may be a cooler warm rinse than what
you are used to, but it salves energy
and still gives you proper rinsing and
a load that is comfortable to remove.
• 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 tem-
perature 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.
