** 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 e ective 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 e ective
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.
