** The number of dots represent appropriate wash water temperatures for various
items. The temperature range for Hot is 105°-125°F/41°-52°C, for Warm 85°-105°F/29°-
41°C and for Cold 60°-85°F/16°-29°C.(Wash water temperature must be a minimum
of 60°F/16°C for detergent activation and eective cleaning.)The clothes washer can
not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of the water entering
your washer depends on water heater settings and regional water supply
temperatures.
For example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter may
be 40°F/4°C which is too cold for eective cleaning. In this situation, you will need
to adjust the water temperature by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water
to the MAX FILL line, or using your Washer’s heating option, if available.
