OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cycle Selection, continued
rinse & spin (on select models)
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
You may deselect fresh rinse if you wish to perform a spin only cycle or select no spin if you want to perform a drain only cycle.
spin only (on select models)
Use the spin only cycle anytime you want to drain water from the washer and spin out the load or as a
sanitize
Use the 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 performance 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 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
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.
NSF Protocol P172
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.
