Temperature Control

You should select a Wash/Rinse temperature based on the type of
fabric and soils being washed. For best results, use the warmest
wash water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
Your washer uses automatic temperature control to maintain a
uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold
water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures
consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at
approximately 24°C by adding small amounts of hot water during
the cold fill. The warm wash is maintained at approximately 38°C.
