The basics
Prewash (Water Jet & Built-in sink)
CAUTION
• Do not abuse Water Jet. Excessive use of Water Jet increases water consumption.
• When running water to the tub, do that gently. Otherwise, water may overow the tub.
Water Jet and Built-in sink help you hand-
wash before the washing machine starts
operation. Water Jet is available only when
the door is open with the water level set
to less than High. For prewashing, use the
Built-in sink that is designed to facilitate the
hand-wash.
1. With the door open, lower the Built-in
sink, and put clothes to prewash on it.
2. Press Water Jet to supply water to the
Built-in sink, and hand-wash.
3. When done, you can either reuse the
water in the main cycle or simply drain.
• To reuse the water, run the water
down to the tub manually.
• To drain the water, press Drain.
NOTE
• If you want to hand-wash while the
machine is operating, press Start/Pause
to stop operation, and then follow steps
1-3 above.
• If you open both the door and the Built-
in sink, lower the Built-in sink manually
for prewashing.
• For the rst-time use, Water Jet supplies
water to the detergent drawer for
1 second to extract air from the water
hose. After the rst use, Water Jet stops
automatically after 5 minutes of water
supply.
• Do not use for other than prewashing,
such as washing shoes or animals.
