** The dot symbols represent appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature 
range 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 
eective cleaning.) The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature 
of the water 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 is too cold for eective cleaning. The water temperature in this situation will need to be 
adjusted by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line or using your washer’s 
heating option, if available.
