Boosted Hot Wash
Boosted Hot Wash will boost water temperature in
tub to 140° F and is useful for improved cleaning of
some loads. "Heater On" light will be on when the
heating element is on. Timer will not advance until
140°F has been reached. Time needed to reach this
temperature may add an additional 30 to 60 minutes
to the cycle time. Hot water is the most effective for
cleaning but it is not recommended for all fabric types
(read labels).
NOTE: Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by rotating
the WASH/RINSE temperature to another
setting. (The washer may pause for a short time
when this change is made.)
NOTE: There will be extended pauses with tumbling
action when BOOSTED HOT WASH is selected
because water is being heated.
