have been omitted in a regular cycle. Add the
fabric softener to the dispenser chamber. Select
the spin speed appropriate for the load.
Cycle Selection, continued
The appropriate washing temperature will auto-
matically 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 fi ber
content, colorfastness and soil level.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are
available with every cycle. If a temperature is not
appropriate for the cycle, it cannot be selected
and will not be lit 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 eff ectiveness
and improve washing performance. The water
heater setting and its distance from the washer,
water usage in other parts of the home, and sea-
sonally low ground water temperature in some
geographic areas can aff ect 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 set-
ting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle
time may be extended.
When used with the
heavy duty
and
whitest
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.
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
