(ATC)
ATC takes away the worry of
undissolved
detergent and ensures
consistent cleaning results from
season to season with warm and
cold washes.
ATC electronically senses and maintains
a uniform water temperature by
regulating incoming hot and cold water.
, Even in cold wash, some
warm water is let into the
washer to maintain a
temperature minimum of
70°F (21°C). In very cold
water, detergent may not
dissolve and clothes will

"Warm wash is regulated
at approximately
100°F
(38°C). ATC does not control the hot
wash water temperature.
, Warm rinse is regulated at
approximately 75°F (24°C) for all warm
rinse settings. This may be a cooler
warm rinse than what you are used to,
but it saves energy and still gives you
proper rinsing and a load that is
comfortable 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. Your washer may have a
4-position or a 5-position switch.
HANDWASH
PLUS FINE DELICATES
(on some models)
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 extra-slow speed agitation
(5 seconds) and soaking (35 seconds).
Stow spin speeds help reduce wrinkling.
Do not use HAND WASHABLES for
large items like blankets.
NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items,
particularly 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 stretching to original
measurements.

Use this speed setting for lingerie and
loosely knit items. Setting combines
