Automatic Temperature Control
The automatic temperature control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. Automatic temperature control regulates incoming hot and cold water. Automatic temperature control is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected. (See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
■Automatic temperature control ensures consistent cleaning.
■Automatic temperature control works for all wash and rinse temperature settings.
In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
