DEEP CLEAN SANITIZE
Use the deep clean sanitize cycle to clean and
sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics includ-
ing 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 per-
formance during this cycle. If the setting is lower
or the load is extra large, the cycle time may be
extended.
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 follow
fabric care labels to prevent damage.

Washers
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.
NOTE
If you need a drain and a spin without a rinse,
you may deselect the rinse option.
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.
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.
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.
CASUAL
Use this cycle for cottons and blends with a per-
manent press or no-iron fi nish.
ACTIVE WEAR
This cycle is designed for small loads of light-
weight, synthetic apparel worn for working out,
running, swimming, cycling, tennis and similar
activities when removal of light soil and perspira-
tion are important.
FAST WASH
Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load in 15 min-
utes.
DELICATE
Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates
which require gentle washing.
HAND WASH
Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tum-
bling 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 omitted in a regular cycle. Add the fabric
softener to the dispenser chamber. Select the spin
speed appropriate for the load.
