NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
(OPTIONAL) An Automatic Temperature Control (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
washer to maintain a minimum temperature of 65°F
(19°C).
