OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cycle Selection, continued Deep Clean Sanitize (on select models) Use the Deep Clean 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 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 check fabric care labels to prevent damage. Í 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, 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 for up to 90 minutes. "SAn" 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. Í 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 if the water temperature is greater than 150° F (66° C), an automatic cool down and drain will occur before the door can be opened. "cd" will be displayed. Heavy Use this cycle for heavily soiled, durable garments - ex. towels, sports gear, or fabric tote bags. For best soil and stain removal, use the hottest water safe for the fabrics being washed. Whitest Whites Use this cycle for white fabrics and lightly colored clothing. Refer to fabric care label for use of liquid chlorine bleach. Normal/Casual Use this load for cotton, linen, towels, shirts, sheets, denims and mixed loads. Quick Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load. Delicates (on select models) Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which require gentle washing. Delicates/Handwash (on select models) Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which require gentle washing. Handwash (on select models) Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tumbling for items labeled "Hand Wash". Spin Only Use the Spin Only cycle anytime you want to drain water from the washer and spin out the load or as a follow-up to a No Spin selection. Select the spin speed appropriate to the load. To add a rinse prior to spin, select the Extra Rinse option. 11
