parts of the home and seasonally low ground water
temperatures in some geographic areas. Because most
detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of
65°F, select Auto Temp settings for regulated wash and
fi nal rinse water temperatures.
Auto Temp Hot ........ 120° F
(Only if water heater temperature is greater than 120° F.)
