Wash 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.
Extra Hot is available only with the Sanitary cycle
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
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 works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot, Hot,
Warm, and Cool settings.
The Cold wash temperature depends on the cold water at
your faucet.
ATC works for the rinse temperature where the wash temp
setting is marked with an asterisk, such as Warm*. All other
rinse temperatures are cold.
