HOW TO USE
NOTE:
• To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every
cycle. A chime will sound and the LED will not light if the selection is not allowed.
• The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure, water heating time and other
operating conditions.
• These cycles use various wash motions to enhance cleaning and/or fabric care performance. The wash motions may sound
dierent at dierent stages of the wash cycle. This is normal.
• The recommended load size for the Sanitize cycle is 10 lbs.
