A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
Precision Temp Control
The normal temperature of hot wash water can be
affected by the hot water heater setting and seasonally
low ground water temperatures in some geographic
areas. To conserve energy, the wash water in the
Precision Temp Hot/Cold setting is regulated to
approximately100° F. Rinse water temperatures are not
regulated.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures
for some typical wash loads.

Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy.
Undersize loads waste energy.
When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower
water levels.
Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load.
Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot water
washes to heavily soiled and white loads. Use cold
water for lightly soiled items and rinsing.
Operate the washer in early morning and late evening
when utility demands are low.
Followproper laundry procedures to avoidrewashing.
