Auto Temp
Auto Temp improves washing performance.

Because most detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65° F, select Auto Temp settings for regulated wash and final rinse water temperatures.
Auto Temp Hot | 120° F (Only if water heater |
Auto Temp Warm | temperature is greater than 120° F.) |
78° F | |
Auto Temp Cold | 65° F |
Cold | Temperature of cold tap water. |
NOTE: Final rinse water temperatures are not regulated.
