Sanitization Performance of Residential
and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes
Washers
This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown
above for reference only. Your model may diff er.
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
fi nal temperature of the wash water may be lower and
sanitation may be reduced.
NOTE
This cycle has been certifi ed by NSF International,
an independent third party testing and certifi cation
organization dedicated to public health, safety and
environmental protection.
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle de-
sired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the CANCEL
button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the cycle
selector knob to another selection will not change the
cycle.
Sanitize
Use the Sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily
soiled, colorfast fabrics including 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 performance
during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is
extra large, the cycle time may be extended.
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.
Cycle Selection
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
For best results
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.
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.
