PreWash

(on some models)

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

liquid or powder high-efficiency detergent,

or the proper wash additive to the prewash

dispenser.

PreWash

must be selected prior to pressing

.

The

PreWash

feature will fill the washer with

cold water (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.

wrinkles on some fabrics.
