- Start Washing: The machine will begin the wash cycle.
- Drain Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the 'Drain' knob or select the drain function to empty the water.
- Rinse: For rinsing, you can either perform a deep rinse by refilling the tub with fresh water and running a short wash cycle, or use the shower rinse function if available.
