A standpipe drain is available for placement in the drain opening of your tub. To order the in-tub standpipe, ask your nearest authorized Whirlpool dealer for part number 89121. If you do not want to re-use the wash water for a load, leave out the stopper in the storage tub so the water can drain.

To re-use wash water: 1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on SUDS RETURN. Do not add the load items at this time. 2. Pull the Cycle Control Knob out. The washer will pump most of the wash water from the storage tub back into the washer basket.
