OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sanitize

soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, and
children’s clothing. Very hot water, all spin speeds,
all Soil Levels except light and extra light, and all
options except Prewash, Energy Saver and Stain
Pretreat (on select models) are available with this cycle.
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.
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.
