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.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents de not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
