Yes, I have allergies as well and purchased this model because of the allergen option.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A. No, In order to achieve the desired temperature of 130 degrees, You must change the setting on your hot water heater. The hot water heater setting should be at least 120–135 degrees F (48–57 degrees C). Most manufacturers set hot water heaters between 120 and 140 degrees F. To prevent scalding and save on energy costs. With that said, Please note that anything above 120 degrees will prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Again, We stress the importance of scalding. Adults may suffer third-degree burns in as little as 2 seconds with water temperatures of 150 degrees, 140 degrees for 6 seconds, and 130 degrees for 30 seconds, as per The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, should they be exposed for too long. The water will be the same temperature once set throughout the entire structure, not just the washer. ~Tanisha
