Auto Temp Control
Auto Temp Control (ATC) electronically senses and maintains a uniform wash and rinse 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 is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cool/Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold settings depend on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets.
•ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
•Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that a washer uses.
•Today'sdetergents work well at temperatures above 60°F (15.6°C).
