Only cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected have been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Efficacy.
The Sanitize water temperature provides an extra high temperature wash to remove
99.9% of certain bacteria. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to
120°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
The Sanitize water temperature is extremely hot. Please check garment care labels to
avoid garment damage.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well.
Soils may be difficult to remove.
