18 Controls and Settings

To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures

are available with every cycle. If a tem-

perature 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 auto-

matically regulated to maximize deter-

gent effectiveness and improve washing

performance. The water heater setting and

its distance from the washer, water usage in

other parts of the home, and seasonally low

ground water temperature in some geo-

graphic areas can affect 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 en-

sure proper performance during this cycle.

If the setting 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.

NOTE

The heavy duty and whitest whites with

sanitize setting cycles have been de-

signed to meet the requirements of NSF

P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.

NOTE

If the voltage at your outlet is under 110v,

the internal heater may not adequately

heat the wash water. If the cycle is inter-

rupted while the water is heating, the

final temperature of the wash water may

be lower and sanitation may be reduced.

Washers

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 remains

locked when the water temperature

reaches 130° F (55° C)

NOTE

If the wash cycle is paused or cancelled

while the internal drum temperature

is above 130° F (55° C), the door will

remain locked until it cools. You may

manually perform a rinse & spin cycle to

cool the internal temperature sooner.

hot

Use this setting for heavily soiled white or

colorfast cottons and blends.

warm

Use this setting for normally soiled white

or colorfast cottons or blends.

cold

Some warm water will automatically blend

with cold tap supply to achieve a precise

cold. Use this setting for lightly soiled

non-colorfast items, knits, delicates,

and hand washables.

tap cold (on select models)

Wash and rinse temperatures are

equivalent to temperature of cold tap

supply. Use this selection for fabrics

and colors that are prone to dye transfer.

For use with cold water

NOTE

The washer will ALWAYS use a small

amount of HOT water to dissolve the

pack when the PODS

selected.

Soil Level

Adjust the wash time based on the soil

level of each load. Solid soil (on select

models), max (on select models), heavy,

normal, light and extra light (on some

models) soil levels are available.
