** 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.
