NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21 ®C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
(OPTIONAL) An Automatic Temperature Control (АТС)
electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
■ Even In cold wash, some warm water is let into the
washer to maintain a minimum temperature of 70“F
(21 “C).
■ Warm wash is maintained at approximately 100“F (38°C).
■ Warm rinse is maintained at approximately 75° (24°C) for
all warm rinse settings.
(OPTIONAL STEP) For a second rinse at the end of the Ultra
