Sanitize with Oxi
The Sanitize with Oxi cycle, when using an Oxi additive along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99.9% of bacteria found in
home laundry.
Measure the detergent and the Oxi products carefully. Using the amounts appropriate for a large heavily soiled load, follow the
detergent and the Oxi product label instructions. The detergent should be added using the dispenser instructions as shown on
page 11 of this guide. Place the Oxi product directly in the bottom of the wash basket, before adding the clothes. The washer hot
water supply connection must provide a minimum of 120°F to ensure the effectiveness of this cycle.
NOTE: The default Sanitize With Oxi cycle water temperature can NOT be changed.
The Sanitize With Oxi cycle is certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization.
The certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry and that no significant
contamination is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize With Oxi cycle has been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for sanitizing effectiveness.
