Stain Removal Guide - GE GTW680 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Stain Removal Guide

The Stain Removal Guide 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.
This feature can be applied to most wash cycles as described in the cycle guide.
To use Stain Removal Guide:
1. Select the desired wash cycle.
2. Press the Stain Removal Guide button.
Continue to press to select Tomato stain, Wine stain, Blood stain, Grass stain or Dirt stain. The indicator light will show the selected stain.
To select a different stain, press the Stain Removal Guide button until desired stain to be removed is lit.
To turn off Stain Removal Guide, press until no indicator lights are illuminated.
NOTE: The Soil and Temperature levels will be changed to match the recommended default setting for each stain type. Turning off Stain
Removal Guide will return the settings to default.
