† Eco Sanitize with Oxi
This washer has an Eco Sanitize with Oxi Cycle that eliminates
99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and
towels, based on independent, third-party laboratory testing.
There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle
is complete.
Use the Eco Sanitize with Oxi Cycle to clean heavily soiled,
colorfast fabrics. This combines the hottest water temperature
to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F
(49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.

Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for
each cycle.

than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Cycle Details:
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling and a fast-speed spin.
This cycle is designed to provide
the most energy efficiency.
Uses a longer wash time with
fast-speed tumbling, extra rinsing,
and a fast-speed spin to provide
optimal cleaning and rinsing
when bleach is used.
Fast-speed tumbling and a
fast-speed final spin help
provide optimal cleaning and
reduce drying times.
Using the highest wash temperature
available along with an Oxi product
added in the drum ensures
sanitization. Check recommended
wash temperature of your items
and use the amount of Oxi
recommended by the manufacturer.
Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep
the inside of your washer fresh and clean.
This cycle uses a higher water level. Use
with affresh ® washer cleaner tablet or liquid
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washer. This cycle should not
be interrupted. See "Washer Care."
