Ok, I only had in mind, that 100°F is a extreme summer temperature
(nearly(?) never reached, where I live).
Just to help those, who think in Farenheit:
Celsius Fahrenheit
-20 = -4
-10 = 14
0 = 32
10 = 50
20 = 68
30 = 86
40 = 104
50 = 122
60 = 140
70 = 158
80 = 176
90 = 194
100 = 212
120 = 248
140 = 284
160 = 320
TFahrenheit = (TCelsius * 9 / 5 ) + 32)
TCelsius = (TFahrenheit - 32 ) * 5 / 9)
Lego is stable up to ca 165°F (at least for a reasonable time). With a maximum
of 120°F you are definitely on the safe side. Anything over 175°F will destroy
your elements. Only the oil can survived even a temperature of 320°F!
The 104°F washing tempperature - which Lego suggests - depends on the typical
°C washing temperature for coloured clothes.
Regards,
Ben
