With selected* Samsung top load washing machine models, you can use its Built-in Sink and Water Jet feature to help you hand-wash before a washing cycle begins. 

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.

*Available on top load model WA85N6750BV, WA11M8700GW, WA13M8700GV.

Note: 

  • 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 overflow the tub.

For prewashing, use the Built-in sink that is designed to facilitate the hand-wash. Do not use for anything other than prewashing clothing (e.g. cannot be used for washing shoes, etc.).

1 With the door open, lower the Built-in sink, and put clothes to prewash on it.

• If you want to hand-wash while the machine is operating, press START/ PAUSE to stop operation, and then follow the steps below.

• If you open both the door and the Built-in sink, lower the Built-in sink manually for prewashing.

2 Press Water Jet to supply water to the Built-in sink, and hand-wash.

• Water Jet is available only when the door is open with the water level set to less than High.

• For the first-time use, Water Jet supplies water to the detergent drawer for 1 second to extract air from the water hose. After the first use, Water Jet stops automatically after 5 minutes of water supply.

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 'Activ Dual Wash', and then select 'Drain'.
