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. Temperature Guide Wash Water Temperature Suggested Fabrics EXTRA HOT Sturdy colorfast fabrics Heavy soils HOT Whites and pastels Heavy soils WARM Bright colors Moderate to light soils COLD Colors that bleed or fade Light soils 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 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.

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.

Temperature Guide

Suggested Fabrics

EXTRA HOT

Sturdy colorfast fabrics

Heavy soils

HOT

Whites and pastels

Heavy soils

WARM

Bright colors

Moderate to light soils

COLD

Colors that bleed or fade

Light soils

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 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.
