Hi SesBda - Thanks for choosing GE. We are happy to help! To soak a load, press the Start / Pause button to pause the washer after it fills then shut the lid. When done soaking the load, push the Start / Pause button again for the washer to resume it’s wash action. The washer can be left for up to 24 hours in this state (with lid closed). After 24 hours it will drain automatically. When you are ready to drain out the water (if not left for 24 hours), turn the cycle knob from whatever cycle you selected to the Drain & Spin cycle and press Start. The washer will drain the water from the tub (Note: As indicated on page 4 of the Owner's Manual: 1. Machine will automatically drain any time the lid is left open for more than 15 minutes and water is present. 2. Machine will automatically drain if left in a paused state with the lid closed for more than 24 hours and water is present.)
