Wash Water Temperature Suggested Fabrics
Hot Whites and pastels
Warm Bright colors
Cold Darker colors that bleed or fade
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Auto Temp Control
Auto Temp Control (АТС) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform wash and rinse water temperature. АТС regulates
Incoming hot and cold water. The АТС Is automatically turned On
when a cycle Is selected. (See “Preset Cycle Settings” In
“Cycles.”)
АТС Is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cool/Cold
settings. The water temperature In the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold
settings depend on the water temperature at the water Inlet
faucets.
■ АТС ensures consistent cleaning.
■ Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that a
washer uses.
■ Today’s detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F
(15.6°C).

available In only the Heavy Duty and Whitest Whites cycles.

setting for the Whitest White cycle. Fabric softener will be
dispensed In the 2nd rinse.
■ When Prewash Is selected, the washer fills to the desired

the end of the cycle. When Prewash Is complete, the
washer advances to the selected wash cycle. Prewash
extends your wash time by approximately 11 minutes.

boosters (liquid or powder) are added to the Liquid

dispenser at the right time In the cycle for optimum
cleaning results. Do not use laundry boosters and
chlorine bleach In the same cycle.
