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.
