Temperature Guide
Wash Temp
HOT
WARM
COLD
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Controlled Temperature
Warm and cold wash temperatures are sensed and maintained by
regulating the amount of hot and cold water from your faucet. This
provided excellent cleaning while saving energy.
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold
water.
■ Cold rinse is not controlled and will be the same as your cold
faucet.
