Sanitize Setting
We at had one the first 1-18 models(1071)in avocado. It was a a 2 speed fabric matic model (one dial matched up wash/spin and water temps), in the middle of the series. The two higher models had lighted control panels. To sanitize the washer one would fill the bleach dispenser full (1 1/2 c) place it in the agitator and replace the agitator cover (which was a measuring cup). You were to select whites-color fast cottons to get warm water. The rapid agitation and bleach solution sanitized the washer and also removed remnants of dyes, if one dyed clothes in the washer. This feature was described as useful in preventing the spread of germs when washing linens of someone having a communicable disease.
One of the higher models had a faster spin 880 rpm. The top of the line had 3 wash speeds (handwash, delicate and regular), extra rinse oprion and automatic advance from soak to wash. There may have been regular and short wash cycles too.
