Temperature Guide
In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
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.
