NOTES:
The SANITIZE + Allergen cycle's water temperatures CANNOT be changed. This cycle utilizes elevated water
temperature and a longer wash cycle to kill dust mites and reduce 99% of common bacteria from fabrics. A pump
purge and extended rinse is incorporated for the purpose of removing contaminants and allergens, such as pet dander.
The SANITIZE With Oxi cycle's water temperatures CANNOT be changed. This cycle, when using an Oxi additive
along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99% of bacteria found in home laundry. Measure the detergent and
the Oxi products carefully. Using the amounts appropriate for a large heavily soiled load in a front load washer, follow
the detergent and the Oxi product label instructions. The washer hot water supply connection must provide a minimum
of 120°F to ensure the effectiveness of this cycle.
Only the SANITIZE + Allergen and SANITIZE With Oxi cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of
sanitizing effectiveness.
