For betterresults, use this cycle combined withEx Heavy 1 or Heavy Soil Level.This cycle combines fast-speedtumbling and extra high-speed spin toshorten drying time. It can be used withmedium and large loads. Includes 2ndRinse option.This cycle combines fast-speedtumbling, longer wash time, and extrahigh-speed spin to shorten dryingtimes. It is designed for medium andlarge loads.This cycle combines medium-speedtumbling and extra high-speed spin,and a load cooling process to reducewrinkling.This cycle combines concentratedfast-speed tumbling followed bymedium-speed wash and providesoptimal cleaning while saving hot water.This cycle starts with a soak tothoroughly saturate your large load.This is followed by medium wash actionand medium-spin speeds to maintainload balance.This cycle combines fast-speedtumbling, a shortened wash time,and extra high-speed spin to reducedrying time.This cycle combines low-speedtumbling and low-speed spin forgentle fabric.This cycle gently tumbles and drainswith the lowest spinning to gently cleangarments and minimize wrinkling.Models: MHWE201**, MHWE251**, MHWE251**†Allergen cycle removes more than 95.0% of common allergens based on independent 3rd party laboratory testing.Model: MHWE301**†AllergenAllergen cycle certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization. The certification verifiedthat this cycle reduced tested allergens by at least 95.0% and maintained the water temperature necessary to kill dust mites. Only theAllergen cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P351 for Allergen Reduction Performance effectiveness.††SanitizeThis washer has a Sanitize option that is certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization.The certification verifies that this option eliminates 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels. There is nocarryover of bacteria between loads after the option is complete.Only the Sanitize option has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential andCommercial, family sized clothes washer.<strong>Use</strong> the Sanitize option to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This option combines a super hot water temperature to help ensure theremoval of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper performanceduring this option.7
