Water in the machine will freeze at temperatures of 32 ºF (0 ºC) or below. Temperatures
above 120 ºF (50 ºC) will result in more frequent motor overheating and, in some cases,
malfunction or premature damage to solid state devices that are used in the machines. Special
cooling devices may be necessary.
