CERTIFIED BY NSF
NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation Foundation), certi fi es that the SANITIZE cycle reduces 99.9% of
bacteria on laundry, and none of the bacteria will carry over onto the next laundry load.
• The default settings for the SANITIZE cycle are HIGH temperature and EXTRA DRY. These default settings cannot
be changed.
• Do NOT use this cycle with delicate items or fabrics.
Auto Dry Cycles
AUTO DRY cycles utilize a sensor that detects moisture levels in the clothes and adjusts the drying time as needed to
ensure superior results. The dryer automatically sets the dry level and temperature at the recommended setting for each
cycle. The estimated time remaining will be shown in the display.
