Getting started

USING THE W

A

SHER

This feature is for pretreating of garments 

only and not intended to serve as an 

actual wash cycle. When selected, the 

washer will supply either fresh water or 

water mixed with detergent from your 

SmartDispense system for garment hand 

pre-washing or pre-treating use.
The pretreating water will be dispensed 

from the area located in the back of 

the main opening of the washer. When 

selected, any water dispensed into the 

wash tub during the pretreat will be drained 

from the machine before any subsequently 

selected wash cycle can begin.

Alternatively, you can use this feature to 

soak your garments in the pretreated water 

for up to 24 hours with the lid closed and 

the cycle knob remaining on 

Water Station

.

In order to use this feature to soak, keep 

dial on 

Water Station

 and close the lid. 

You can soak for up to 24 hours before 

the water in the tub will be automatically 

drained. Rotating the dial, holding the 

Start

 button for 3 seconds or leaving the 

lid open for more than 15 minutes will all 

automatically drain the water from the tub.
