For Model LA7685XP The SUDS-MISER System Your washer has the SUDS-MISER^ System. It has two drain hoses. One hose moves a portion of used wash water into a storage tub and moves it back info the washer for use during the next wash. The other hose carries water to another tub with an open drain, or to a standpipe drain. If you do not want to re-use wash water for a load, leave the stopper out of the storage tub so the water drains away.
Caring for your washer WHEN NOT WASHING, keep both water faucets turned off. This takes the pressure off the water inlet valve and hoses. AFTER WASHING, use a soft dry cloth to wipe the outside and inside dry. Leave the lid up until the basket is dry. Wipe up spills right away. Spills can dull or damage the finish. REMOVE SHARP OBJECTS such as pins, buckles, etc., from clothes before washing. Close mefal zippers. SHARP OR HEAVY OBJECTS should never be put on or in the washer.
