the type of load you are washing.
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

is controlled to 75°E

Saves hot water
*In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F, 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.
