Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin. NOTE whitest whites Use for white fabrics and lightly colored clothing. Refer to fabric care label for use of liquid chlorine bleach. Hot water is recommended to ensure optimal bleach activation. For peak rinsing performance and to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry add fresh rinse to this cycle. If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 V the internal heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the final temperature of the wash water may be lower and sanitization may be reduced. jeans Select this cycle for washing an entire load of lightly to normally soiled denim jeans or similarly-colored cotton khakis.
