AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROL (ATC)
ATC takes away the worry of
undissolved detergent and ensures
consistent cleaning results from
season to season with warm and
cold washes.
ATC electronic-ally senses and maintains
a uniform water temperature by regulating
incoming hot and cold water.

• Warm rinse is; regulated at

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 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
22
extra-slow speed agitation (10 seconds)
and soaking (20 seconds). Slow spin
speeds help reduce wrinkling. Do not use
HAND WASHABLES for large items like
blankets.
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
when you purchase items labeled "HAND
WASH:' Items that shrink should be dried
flat. Block these items by gently stretch-
ing to original measurements.

loosely knit items. Setting combines
extra-slow speed agitation for gentle soil
removal and slow spin speeds to reduce
wrinkling.
