Cycle Selection, continued
Express Wash
Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load in 18 minutes.
Express Sanitize
Use the Express Sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bed- ding, 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 performance during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle time may be extended.
The Express 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.
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. is displayed during the wash phase alternately with the estimated cycle time. 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 temper- ature is greater than 150° F (66° C) an automatic cool down rinse will occur before the door can be opened.
Operating Instructions
Cold Clean
Designed for a small load of mixed items, wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. Best used with cold water detergent.
Silk
Select this cycle for washable silk items. It will provide gentle reversing tumble wash action in cold water and multiple rinses. Chlorine bleach will not be dispensed in this cycle. The water will drain out at the end of the cycle, but the drum will not spin. The garments will be very wet.
NOTE
Washing silk garments labeled “Dry Clean Only” or using chlorine bleach can result in permanent damage.
Delicates
Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which require gentle washing.
Handwash
Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tumbling 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 omit- ted in a regular cycle. Add the fabric softener to the dispenser chamber. Select the spin speed appropriate for the load.
NOTE
You may deselect Extra Rinse if you wish to perform a Spin Only cycle or select No Spin if you want to perform a Drain Only cycle.
