NOTE: The Sanitize and Sanitize With Oxi cycle water temperature CANNOT be changed. The Sanitize and Sanitize With Oxi
cycle are certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization. The certification
verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry and that no significant contamination
is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize and Sanitize With Oxi cycle have been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for sanitizing effectiveness.
The Sanitize with Oxi cycle, when using an Oxi additive along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99.9% of bacteria
found in home laundry. Measure the detergent and the Oxi products carefully. Place the Oxi product directly in the bottom of the
wash tub, before adding the clothes. The washer hot water supply connection must provide a minimum of 120°F to ensure the
effectiveness of this cycle.
