*CERTIFIED BY NSF: NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation
Foundation), certifies that this wash cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria on
laundry through high temperature, when used with powdered detergent.
NOTE:
y To protect your garments, not every wash temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle.
A chime will sound and the LED will not light if the selection is not allowed.
y The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure, water heating time and
other operating conditions.
y These cycles use various wash motions to enhance cleaning and/or fabric care performance. The wash motions may
sound different at different stages of the wash cycle. This is normal.
The recommended load size for the Sanitize cycle is 10 lb. (4.5 kg).
y
y When the Accela Wash option is selected, the drum spins to rinse the clothes. To use the No Spin option, you must
deselect the Accela Wash option.
