Stain PreTreat
The Stain PreTreat feature allows you to indicate what stains are on the garments in your load. This feature incorporates a
patent pending treatment method. 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.

• Recommended temperatures are optimal for stain removal performance; adjust temperature selection to suit load being
washed.
• Ensure stain is completely removed after wash cycle and before placing in dryer; very tough stains may require a second
treatment.
