* The standard programs Cottons Hygiene 194°F (90°C) and Cottons 140°F (60°C) are programmed for hot water rinse.
If hot water is available, we recommend using hot water for the final rinse.
- The residual moisture of the laundry is lower after the spin cycle.
- The laundry is already warmed.
- This saves time and energy if the laundry is immediately either dried in a tumble dryer or ironed with a rotary ironer.
