The temperaturerange 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 effectivecleaning.) The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of thewater entering your washer is 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 istoo cold for effective cleaning. The water temperature in this situation will need to be adjusted by selectinga warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line or using your washer’s heating option, ifavailable.06 AppendixWF431ABP-03016A-07_EN_v1.indd Sec7:31WF431ABP-03016A-07_EN_v1.indd Sec7:31 2012-05-09 2:17:272012-05-09 2:17:27
