For Portable Installations Open the faucets connected to the water supply hoses. Wash and Rinse water temperatures are set at your faucet. The Temperature control does not set the temperature. Adjust the Hot and Cold water faucets to desired wash temperature. Keep the temperature control set at Tap Cold. NOTE: The Tap Cold setting allows water from the faucet to enter the washer, but does not control the incoming water temperature. For a rinse temperature that is different from the wash temperature, you must adjust the water temperature at the faucet after the washer has completed its initial fill. To test the water temperature, press the red water-flow button on the hose connector. Water will be released when the button is pressed, allowing you to sample the temperature. For Permanent Installations The Rinse and Spin cycles default to a cold rinse, all other cycles default to a warm rinse. Press the Temp button to choose a different wash temperature. Selecting Water Temperatures NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your items. Wash Temp Suggested Fabrics Hot Some cold water is added to save energy. This will be cooler than your hot water heater setting. Whites and pastels Durable garments Heavy soils Warm Some cold water will be added, so this will be cooler than what your previous washer provided. Bright colors Moderate to light soils Cool Some warm water may be added to assist in soil removal and to help dissolve detergents. Colors that bleed or fade Light soils Cold A small amount of warm water may be added to assist in soil removal and to help dissolve detergents. Water will be colder than "Cool" setting. Dark colors that bleed or fade Light soils Tap Cold This is the temperature from your faucet. Dark colors that bleed or fade Light soils NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60ºF (15.6ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove.
