WASHER CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Cycle Settings
Washing Temperature
The appropriate washing temperature
will automatically be indicated for the
cycle selected. To change the preset
temperature, press the temp button to scroll
to the desired setting. Select a wash water
temperature according to fiber content,
colorfastness and soil level.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures
are available with every cycle. If a
temperature is not available for the cycle,
it cannot be selected by pressing the temp
button.
The temperature selected for the cycle will
be remembered and recalled each time that
cycle is selected in the future.
All wash water temperatures are automatically
regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness
and improve washing performance. The
water heater setting and its distance from
the washer, water usage in other parts of
the home, and seasonally low ground water
temperature in some geographic areas can
affect water temperature.
sanitize (on select models)
Use the sanitize setting to clean and sanitize
heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels,
bedding, cloth diapers, and children’s clothing.
It is recommended that you set your water
heater to 120°F (49°C) or higher to ensure
proper performance during this cycle. If the
setting is lower or the load is extra large, the
cycle time may be extended.
When used with the heavy duty, towels,
and optic whites cycles, the sanitize setting
will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover
of bacteria between loads. No bleach or
harsh chemicals are needed, but higher
temperatures are required. Please check
fabric care labels to prevent damage.
allergen (on select models)
Removes dust mites and dander from
household objects. The temperature does
increase on this setting.

Washers
The wash water is heated by an internal boost
heater to a maximum of 152°F (67°C) as the
load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool
down the load prior to drain and spin.
As a precaution, the washer door remains
locked when the water temperature reaches
130°F (55°C)
NOTE
The heavy duty, towels, and optic whites
with sanitize setting cycles have been
designed to meet the requirements of NSF
P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.
NOTE
If the wash cycle is paused or canceled
while the internal drum temperature is
above 130°F (55°C), the door will remain
locked until it cools. You may manually
perform a rinse & spin cycle to cool the
internal temperature sooner.
NOTE
If the voltage at your outlet is under 110v,
the internal heater may not adequately
heat the wash water. If the cycle is
interrupted while the water is heating, the
final temperature of the wash water may
be lower and sanitation may be reduced.
NOTE
The heavy duty, optic whites and
towels cycles with the allergen option
selected have been designed to meet the
requirements of the NSF P351 protocol
for allergen reduction efficacy. These
cycles and settings will kill dust mites
and eliminate at least 95% of pet dander.
Since higher temperatures are required,
please check fabric care labels to prevent
damage.
