OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

rinse & spin (on select models)

Select rinse & spin for loads that need a cold water 

rinse or to add fabric softener that may have been 

omitted in a regular cycle. Add the fabric softener 

to the dispenser chamber. Select the spin speed 

appropriate for the load.

spin only (on select models)

Use the spin only cycle anytime you want to drain 

water from the washer and spin out the load or as 

a follow-up to a no spin selection. Select the spin 

speed appropriate to the load. Fresh rinse is also a 

selectable option.
sanitize

Use the sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily 

soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, 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 will be extended by 30 

minutes or more.
The sanitize cycle 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.

NOTE

Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the 

requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization 

effi cacy.

Í

NOTE

If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 v, the internal 

heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If 

the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the 

fi nal temperature of the wash water may be lower and 

sanitation may be reduced.

Í

NOTE

You may deselect fresh rinse if you wish to perform 

spin only cycle or select no spin if you want to 

perform a drain only cycle.

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 is locked once the 

water temperature reaches 130° F (55° C). If the 

cycle is cancelled during the wash phase and the 

water temperature is greater than 150° F (66° C), an 

automatic cool down and drain will occur before the 

door can be opened.
