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 ensures consistent cleaning. •
• ATC works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot/Cold,
Hot/Cold, Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold settings.
The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at
your faucet.
For the Tap Cold/Cold setting, both wash and rinse
temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.
ATC works for the rinse temperature with the Warm/Warm
setting. The cold rinse temperature depends on the cold
water at your faucet.

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
• Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
• Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, load
evenly.
Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag be
used and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts
of material.
Sorting
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
• Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
