CYCLE GUIDE — STEAM CYCLES

Your dryer has been connected directly to the water line with a hose behind the dryer. This is used for bringing in water for the steam cycles. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

Steam cycles are designed for use with dry loads to loosen wrinkles, remove odors, and refresh fabrics.

Load Size Recommendations

For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full.

Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full. Do not overload. Items need to tumble freely.
