Temperature Guide
In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
ACCUWASH™ Automatic Temperature Control
The ACCUWASH™ control electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ACCUWASH control regulates
incoming hot and cold water. ACCUWASH control is
automatically turned On when a cycle is selected. (See “Preset
Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
■
ACCUWASH control ensures consistent cleaning.
■
ACCUWASH control works for all wash and rinse temperature
settings.
