The SUDS-MISER@ System
Your washer has the SUDS-MISER" System. It has two drain hoses.
One hose moves a portion of used wash water into a storage tub
and moves it back into the washer for use during the next wash.
The other hose carries water to another tub with an open drain, or
to a standpipe drain.
If you do not want to re-use wash water for a load, leave the
stopper out of the storage tub so the water drains away.
The SUDS-MISER@ System stores a portion of the wash water.
If you have a storage tub big enough to hold 25 gallons (95
liters] of water, you can have a qualified installer convert your
washer to save more of the water.
