Kenmore 4709' User Manual

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 works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot, Hot, 
Warm, and Cool settings.

■

The Cold wash temperature depends on the cold water at 
your faucet.

■

ATC works for the rinse temperature where the wash temp 
setting is marked with an asterisk, such as Warm*. All other 
rinse temperatures are cold. 

Refer to this chart for suggested load types and their corresponding cycles. Listed to the right are the options available to each of these 
washer cycles.  

*Prewash and Soak cannot be selected at the same time.
