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, Family-Sized Clothes

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 no-iron finish.

ACTIVE WEAR

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

Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load in 15 min- utes.

DELICATE

Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which require gentle washing.

HAND WASH

Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tum- bling for items labeled “Hand Wash”.

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.
