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. delicates Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which require gentle washing. hand wash Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tumbling for items labeled "Hand Wash". bedding This cycle is designed for bulky items such as comforters, blankets, mattress pads, sleeping bags and similar items. heavy duty Use this cycle for heavily soiled, durable garments - ex. towels, sports gear, or fabric tote bags.

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 temperature is greater than 150° F (66° C), an automatic cool down and drain will occur before the door can be opened. 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.
