The "Pre-wash" function on an LG washing machine is an optional cycle that can be selected before the main wash cycle. It is designed to help loosen and remove heavy stains, dirt, and grime from heavily soiled garments or items that require extra cleaning before the regular washing process.
When you activate the pre-wash option, the washing machine will perform a short wash cycle with water and detergent, usually without any spinning or draining. This initial cycle allows the detergent to penetrate and break down tough stains and dirt, making it easier for the main wash cycle to clean the clothes effectively.
To use the pre-wash function on an LG washing machine, follow these general steps:
- Load the heavily soiled garments into the washing machine drum.
- Add the appropriate detergent to the detergent compartment or dispenser.
- Select the desired wash program or cycle.
- Look for the "Pre-wash" option on the control panel or cycle selection menu.
- Press the "Pre-wash" button or select the option if available.
- Start the washing machine.
The pre-wash cycle will run first, followed by the main wash cycle, and then the rinse and spin cycles.
Keep in mind that not all LG washing machine models may have a specific "Pre-wash" button or option. Some models might have a "Soak" function instead, which serves a similar purpose of soaking the clothes before the main wash. Always refer to the user manual of your specific LG washing machine model for precise instructions and features related to the pre-wash function.
