DEEP CLEAN SANITIZE
Use the deep clean sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, and children’s clothing.
It is recommended that you set your water heater to 120° F (49° C) or higher to ensure proper per- formance during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle time will be extended by 30 minutes or more.
The deep clean sanitize cycle will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures are required. Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.
NOTE
This cycle has been certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization dedicated to public health, safety and environmental protection.

Sanitization Performance of Residential
and Commercial,
Washers
The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a maximum of 152° F (67° C) as the load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.
NOTE
If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 v, the internal heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the final temperature of the wash water may be lower and sanitation may be reduced.
As a precaution, the washer door is locked once the water temperature reaches 130° F (55° C). If the cycle is cancelled during the wash phase and the water temperature is greater than 150° F (66° C), an automatic cool down and drain will occur before the door can be opened.
CASUAL
Use this cycle for cottons and blends with a per- manent press or
COLORS
Use this cycle for lightly soiled, dark, or highly dyed fabrics such as cotton which may be suscep- tible to dye loss.
DELICATE
Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which require gentle washing.
ALLERGEN
If you have asthma or allergy sufferers in your home, use this cycle to combine hot water tem- perature (boosted with internal heater), fast speed tumbling and multiple rinses to help ensure the de- struction of dust mites and removal of pet dander.
NOTE
This cycle has been certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization dedicated to public health, safety and environmental protection.
NSF Protolcol P351
Allergen Reduction Performance
of Residential and Commercial,
The allergen cycle will kill all dust mites and eliminate at least 95% of pet dander. Since higher temperatures are required, please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.
RINSE & SPIN
Select rinse & spin for loads that need a cold water rinse or to add fabric softener that may have been omitted in a regular cycle. Add the fabric softener to the dispenser chamber. Select the spin speed appropriate for the load.
NOTE
To perform a spin only cycle, you may deselect fresh rinse from rinse & spin.
