NOTE

This represents 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 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 effective 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.
