AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE

CONTROL (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 a=wm=

washer to maintain a wtaP,M 100°

temperature minimum of COLD

70°F (21°C), In very cold _ COLD70"

water, detergent may not ])• COLD

dissolve and clothes will

not be cleaned completely, w_100'

• Warm wash is regulated W,,_RM75"

at approximately 100°F

(38°C). ATC does not control the hot

wash water temperature.

• Warm rinse is regulated at approxi-

mately 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.

18

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 sec-

onds) and soaking (35 seconds). Slow

spin speeds help reduce wrinkling. Do

not use HAND WASHABLES for large

items such as 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.
