Sanitize
III This washer has a Sanitize 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.
III Use the Sanitize Cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This combines the hottest water
temperature to help ensure the removal of heaw 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.
