Prewash
Prewash is an extra wash before
the main wash. Use it for heavily soiled
clothes or for clothes with a care label
that recommends prewashing before
washing. Be sure to add high-efficiency
detergent, or the proper wash additive
to the prewash dispenser.
The prewash feature will fill the washer
(adding the prewash detergent), tumble
the clothes, drain and spin. Then the
washer will run the selected wash
cycle.
NOTE: In some special cycles,
the prewash is selected automatically
as the default. You can modify this
selection at any time.

Extra Rinse
Use an extra rinse when additional
rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt
and detergent from soiled loads.
NOTE: In some special cycles, the extra
rinse is selected automatically as the
default. You can modify this selection at
any time. Some cycles have additional
rinses done automatically.
