Use the Soak cycle to help remove stains on fabrics. This cycle
provides a soak time with warm or cold water, followed by drain.
Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the
laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement help improve
the removal of stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment,
even for delicate items.
