Deep Clean Sanitary

Use the Deep Clean cycle for heavily soiled colorfast
items that should be washed in very hot water. Only the
Hot/Cold Temperature setting is available. The household
water heater should be set at a minimum of 120° F. If the
setting is lower, the cycle time will be extended by 30
minutes or more.
The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to
a maximum of 152° F 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. This
cycle will eliminate 99.999% of 4 common infectious
bacteria*. (If the cycle is interrupted while the water is
heating, the final 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. If the cycle is
cancelled during the wash phase and if the water
temperature is greater than 150° F, an automatic Cool
Down and drain will occur before the door can be opened.
“cd” will be displayed.
