24 Controls and Settings To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. If a temperature is not appropriate for the cycle, it cannot be selected and will not be lit by pressing the temp button. The temperature selected for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. All wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and improve washing performance. The water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can affect water temperature. sanitize (on select models) Use the sanitize setting 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. When used with the heavy duty and whitest whites cycles, the sanitize setting 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 The heavy duty and whitest whites with sanitize setting cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy. NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers NOTE If the voltage at your outlet is under 110v, 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. 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 remains locked when the water temperature reaches 130°F (55°C) NOTE If the wash cycle is paused or cancelled while the internal drum temperature is above 130°F (55°C), the door will remain locked until it cools. You may manually perform a rinse & spin cycle to cool the internal temperature sooner. hot Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons and blends. warm Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons or blends. cold Some warm water will automatically blend with cold tap supply to achieve a precise cold. Use this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables. tap cold (on select models) 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. For use with cold water detergents. NOTE The washer will ALWAYS use a small amount of HOT water to dissolve the pack when the PODS® option has been selected. Soil level Adjust the wash time based on the soil level of each load. Solid soil (on select models), max (on select models), heavy, normal, light and extra light (on some models) soil levels are available.
