** The dot symbols 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 effective cleaning.)
The clothes Washer may not ensure these temperatures because the actual water temperatures
entering your Washer are dependent 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 effective cleaning. The water temperature in this situation
will need to be adjusted by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line
or using your Washer’s heating option, if available.
