DEEP CLEAN SANITIZE
Use the deep clean sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics includ- ing towels, bedding, cloth diapers, 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 may be extended.
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 follow 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

This cycle is designed for small loads of light- weight, synthetic apparel worn for working out, running, swimming, cycling, tennis and similar activities when removal of light soil and perspira- tion are important.
FAST WASH

DELICATE

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
If you need a drain and a spin without a rinse, you may deselect the rinse option.
