as the water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water.

sensor will check the incoming water
temperature and if it is not hot enough, the
timer will be delayed for automatic water
heating in the main wash of all cycles. This
happens even when HI-TEMP WASH is
selected an even higher temperature will be
guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.
