OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Cycle Selection, continued
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.
NSF Protocol P172
Sanitization Performance of Residential
and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes
Washers
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
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 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.
Í NOTE
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization
effi cacy.
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.
