Wash/Rinse 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.
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 table in "Cycles."
ATC works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot/Cold, Hot/Cold, Warm/Warm, Warm/
Cold, and Cold/Cold settings.
ATC works for the rinse temperature with the Warm/Warm setting.
The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.
