Temperature
Warm and cold wash temperatures are sensed and maintained by
regulating the amount of hot and cold water from your faucet. This
provided excellent cleaning while saving energy.
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature, by regulating incoming hot and cold
water.
■
Cold rinse is not controlled by the ATC and will be the same
temperature as the water coming from your cold water faucet.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Press and hold CYCLE SIGNAL to
