† Sanitize
Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent,
third party testing and certification organization are those
with the sanitize temperature selection available. The
certification verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of
bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels.
There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after
the cycle is complete. Only cycles with sanitize wash
temperature selected have been designed to meet
the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing
Effectiveness.
†† Allergen
Allergen cycle certified by NSF International, an
independent, third party testing and certification
organization. The certification verified that this cycle
reduced tested allergens by at least 95.0% and
maintained the water temperature necessary to kill
dust mites. Only the allergen cycle has been designed
to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P351 for
Allergen Reduction Performance effectiveness.

Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for
each cycle.
Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3–4 items, not more
than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure
clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing
tightly.
Cycle Details:
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling and an extra high-speed
Presoak spin. This cycle is designed to
provide the most energy efficiency.
®
High-speed tumbling and an extra
high-speed final spin help provide
Presoak optimal cleaning and reduce
drying times.
™
®
Hot wash temperatures ensure
liquid chlorine bleach action.
Presoak An Extra Rinse helps remove any
bleach residue in clothes.
™
®
Uses an initial soak to completely
saturate the load, followed by
Presoak medium wash speeds and a
medium-speed spin to maintain
™
load balance.
®
Uses more water to flush out
allergens such as dust mites and
Presoak pet dander from normally-soiled
items.
®
This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin
®
for gentle fabric care and reduced
wrinkling.
Similar to the way garments are
hand-washed in a sink, this cycle
®
combines periods of low-speed
tumbling and soaking. NOTE: Use
mesh garment bags as needed.
