The clothes washer can not ensure
these temperatures because the actual
temperature of the water entering your
washer depends 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 effective
cleaning. In this situation, you will need to
adjust the water temperature by selecting
a warm setting, adding some hot water to
the MAX FILL line, or using your Washer's
heating option, if available.
