The Prewash Cycle can be used to help remove proteinbased stains such as milk, grass or blood and to help
loosen soils before washing. During Prewash, the washer
will tumble the load for 6 minutes, drain, spin and shut
off. Use the amount of detergent and other laundry
products recommended for a normal wash cycle.
• The Prewash water temperature is the same as the
wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting
protein stains, select cold water.
• This cycle should always be followed by a complete
wash cycle using the recommended amount of
detergent.
