Stain PreTreat
The
Stain PreTreat
feature allows you to indicate what stains are on the garments in your load. An initial water fill is
performed at a temperature tailored to the stain type selected and to an amount which enables a concentrated cleaning
step. A stain scrubbing period, followed by an active soak, is conducted to effectively treat the stain. Then additional water
is added to the selected temperature and the wash phase is conducted for the cycle selected. For washing normally soiled
cotton clothing the
Stain PreTreat
option should be in the
Off
position.
This feature can be applied to most wash cycles as described in the cycle guide.
To use Stain PreTreat:
1
. Select the desired wash cycle.
2
. Select the stain to be treated under the
Stain PreTreat
options.
