t- Sanitize
II This washer has a Sanitize Cycle that eliminates 99.90/0 of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels, based on independent,
third-party laboratory testing. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
II Use the Sanitize Cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This combines an extra-hot water temperature to help ensure the removal
of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 1 20°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this
cycle.
1-1- 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 95.00/0 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. It is recommended that
you set your hot water heater to 1 20°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
