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 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.
