Water Temp

The WATER TEMP keypad provides for selection of different wash and rinse combinations. Water fill temperatures can be either HOT (hot water valve only), WARM (both the hot and cold water valves) or COLD (cold water valve only). Fills during rinses may be COLD until the final rinse/spin interval.

The WATER TEMP can be changed at any time during the wash cycle. The action takes place during a water fill, or the next water fill. Changes late in the cycle are allowed, but may not be acted upon.

Assured Water Temp

The Assured Water Temp LED (if available) lights up whenever the temperature selection is an auto- controlled temp. There are three auto-controlled temperature selections:

WARM (100°F)/WARM (75°F)

WARM (100°F)/COLD (“TAP” unregulated)

COLD (75°F)/COLD (“TAP” unregulated)

There is another WATER TEMP selection that is not auto-controlled (TAP COLD/COLD). Auto temp control uses the thermistor input as feedback to regulate the hot and cold water valves to achieve the desired temperature.
