DEEP CLEAN SANITIZE
Use the deep clean sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, and children’s clothing. Very hot water, all spin speeds, all soil levels except light and extra light, and all options except prewash, eco friendly and stain clean are available with this cycle.
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 for up to 4 hours. 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.
