ALLERGIENE™
The ALLERGIENE™ cycle is a powerful, high
temperature cycle designed specifically to reduce
certain allergens.
• Selecting the ALLERGIENE™ cycle automatically
incorporates steam into the wash cycle.
• The ALLERGIENE™ cycle can significantly
reduce allergens in bedding and clothing.
• The ALLERGIENE™ cycle helps reduce dust
mite populations and helps reduce allergens.
• Due to the higher energy and temperatures used,
the ALLERGIENE™ cycle is not recommended
for wool, silk, leather, or any other delicate or
temperature sensitive items.
HAND WASH/WOOL
• Only woolen items that are designated as Machine-
Washable should be washed in this washing machine.
• Wash only small loads for optimum fabric care (less
than 8 pounds)
• Only neutral (wool safe) detergents should be used
(Only a small quantity of detergent is needed due to
the small load size and low volume of water in the
cycle.)
• The HANDWASH/WOOL cycle uses a gentle tumble
action and low speed spin for ultimate fabric care.
The wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine
washable Woolmark products provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions on
the garment label and those issued by the
