Sanitized
This washer has a Sanitize water temperature that is certified
by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and
certification organization. The certification verifies that the
sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically found
on clothing, bedding, and towels, and there is no carryover
of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
Certified to Sanitize
If the "Sanitize" wash temperature was selected, when the wash
cycle is complete, the DONE status light will illuminate, the door
unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer.
The washer powers down automatically 60 minutes after the
cycle is complete and the DONE status light turns off. Only cycles
with sanitize wash temperature selected have been designed to
meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing
Efficacy.
