AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL, (ACCUWASH)
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (ATC) electronically senses and maintains a uniform
water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
• Even in cold wash, some hot water is introduced into the washer to maintain a temperature of
approximately 75°F (24°C).
• Warm wash is regulated at approximately 100°F (32°C).
• Warm rinse is regulated at approximately 75°F (24°C), whether AccuWash is selected or not.
• The second fill in the PERMANENT PRESS Cycle is for cooling the load and uses unregulated
cold water.
ADJUSTABLE CYCLE SIGNAL
A tone will sound at the end of the wash cycle.
The sound level of this tone can be adjusted from
LOUD to OFF by pressing the SIGNAL keypad.

Suggested Fabrics
• Work clothes
• Sturdy whites/
colorfast pastels
• Diapers
• Dark/non-colorfast colors
• Permanent press items
• Nylon, polyester, acrylics
silk, woolens
• Knits/delicate
• Extra-sensitive colors
• Non-colorfast items
• Handwashables
Comments
• Best cleaning for heavily soiled items
• Removes oils, perspiration, greasy soils
and stains
• Reverts graying or yellowing
• Best for moderately soiled to lightly soiled items
• Safe for most fabrics
• Less fading and dye bleeding
• Reduces wrinkling
• Best for very lightly soiled items
• Saves hot water
* In wash water
temperatures colder
than 70°F (21°C),
detergents do not
dissolve well and soils
may be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics
may retain wear
wrinkles and have
increased pilling - the
formation of small lint-
like balls on the surface
of the garment. Pilling
is the natural result of
wearing and washing
of a garment.
WATER LEVEL
Up to five (5) different water levels can be selected ranging from SMALL LOAD to LARGE LOAD. In
most cycles, reducing the water level will result in the motor operating at a slower agitation speed. See
chart on page 9.
WASH/RINSE TEMP CONTROL
This allows the selection of four (4) different wash and rinse water temperature combinations based on
the type of load being washed.
