Wash Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
■ The Steam Sanitize temperature provides an extra high
temperature to remove 99.9% of certain bacteria. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF
(49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
■ The Steam Sanitize temperature uses high water
temperatures. Please check garment care label to avoid
garment damage.
■ In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to
remove.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
Auto Temp Control
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold
water. The ATC is automatically turned on when a cycle is
selected. (See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
■ ATC works for the wash temperature with Steam Sanitize,
Hot, Warm, and Cool settings.
■ The Cold wash temperature depends on the cold water at
your faucet.
■ ATC works for the rinse temperature where the wash temp
setting is marked with an asterisk, such as Warm*. All other
rinse temperatures are cold.
