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 drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

	Light soils

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" in "Cycles."

•ATC ensures consistent cleaning.

•ATC works for the wash temperature with Hot/Cold, Warm/ Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold settings.

•ATC works for the Warm rinse setting by regulating the water temperature at approximately 104°F (40°C).

•The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.

In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.5°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

•Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, reduced rinsing performance, and may result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

•Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

•Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

•Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

•Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

•Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

•Treat spots and stains.

•Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

•Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.

•Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.
