AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROL (АТС)
for your
Benefit
АТС takes away the worry of
undissolved detergent and ensures
consistent cleaning resuits from
season to season with warm and
cold washes.
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
temperature
of approxi­
mately 75°F. In very cold
water, detergent may not
dissolve and clothes will
not be cleaned completely.
• Warm wash is regulated
at approximately 100°F.
АТС does not control
the hot wash water
temperature.
• Warm rinse is regulated at ^^
approximately 75°F for all warm
rinse settings. This may be a cooler
warm rinse than what you are used to,
but it saves energy and still gives you
proper rinsing and a load that is com­
fortable to remove.

speeds help reduce wrinkling. Do not use

NOTE: Some “HAND WASH” items, par­
ticularly wool, naturally shrink when washed
either in the sink or in the washer HAND
WASHABLES Cycle. Keep this in mind

WASH.” Items that shrink should be dried
flat. Block these items by gently stretch­
ing to original measurements.

SPEEDS DESCRIPTIONS
This section illustrates and describes
the wash/spin speeds you can select with
the SPEEDS Control. Each speed setting
is designed for different types of
fabrics and soil levels.
HAND WASHABLES
Use this speed setting for hand washable
and special-care items. Garments are
labeled “Hand Wash” because;
• The fiber or construction may be
sensitive to agitation.
• The fabric contains sensitive dyes
that may bleed.
The wash action mirrors the way you
would treat hand washable garments in a
sink. It does this by repeating periods of
