What is the Sanitize with Oxi cycle used for?
This cycle is intended for sturdy white or colorfast items that benefit from stronger stain or hygienic treatment.
It may use warmer water, longer washing or a specialized additive phase depending on the model and selected options.
Choose another cycle for: Dark colors, delicate fabrics and anything that cannot tolerate the selected temperature or additive.
What this means for your load
Specialized hygienic cycle for suitable fabrics used with the directed additive. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Water heating, soil level, additives and extra rinses can add significant time.

When will it finish?
This variable program depends on the stored cycle, options or sensed load. Use the appliance's current displayed estimate.
Estimated energy and local cost
This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
Planning the Sanitize with Oxi cycle on the GFW650SPNSN
Sanitize-style programs may hold a target temperature or add extended heat and tumbling. Incoming temperature and load conditions can therefore affect both duration and energy use.
On the GE GFW650SPNSN, watch for load size, water temperature, suds control and balance corrections. Leave room for items to move and treat the panel estimate as the best live prediction.
The planning range on this page is 0.55–2.2 kWh; use the ZIP or bill-rate calculator for a local cost estimate. The exact-model reference is linked from products.geappliances.com, while estimates are labeled separately.
