† Sanitize
Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization are those with
the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically
found on clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
Only cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol
P172 for Sanitizing Effectiveness.
†† 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 95.0% 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.

Cycle Details:
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling and a high-speed spin.
This cycle is designed to provide
the most energy efficiency.
High-speed tumbling and a
high-speed final spin help provide
optimal cleaning and reduce drying
times.
Hot wash temperatures ensure
liquid chlorine bleach action.
An Extra Rinse helps remove any
bleach residue in clothes.
Uses an initial soak to completely
saturate the load, followed by
medium wash speeds and a
medium-speed spin to maintain
load balance.
Uses more water to flush out
allergens such as dust mites and pet
dander from normally-soiled items.
This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin
for gentle fabric care.
Similar to the way garments are
hand-washed in a sink, this cycle
combines periods of low-speed
tumbling and soaking. NOTE: Use
mesh garment bags as needed.
