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 drier and more comfortable to
handle than with cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase
wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
Temperature Guide
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Care Control Temperature Management
Care Control Temperature Management electronically senses and
maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature. Care
Control regulates incoming hot and cold water and is
automatically turned on when a cycle is selected. (See “Preset
Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
Care Control is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cold/
Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold setting
depends on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets.
■
Care Control ensures consistent cleaning.
■
Today’s detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F
(15.6°C).
