ABOUT STEAM
Steam technology allows you to inject fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to remove wrinkles and deodorize clothes with the STEAM REFRESH cycle. In addition, steam can be used on many other cycles to help prevent static electricity buildup at the end of the cycle.
The STEAM REFRESH cycle will refresh from 1 to 5 garments. For best results, only refresh items of similar size and fabric type. Best results are obtained with 70/30 cotton/poly blend fabrics.
Using the STEAM REFRESH cycle
The STEAM REFRESH cycle uses the power of steam to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an
extended time, and it can make heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM REFRESH can also be used to
help reduce odors in clothes, such as clothes that were worn in a room where people have been smoking.
This cycle can refresh from 1 to 5 garments, or one bulky item such as a comforter. The garment settings available are for 1,3 and 5 garments, so for 2 or 4 garments select the number that best fits the load: for larger garments
select the next higher number and for smaller garments select the next lower number. Best results are achieved
on cotton/poly blend fabrics.
When the STEAM REFRESH cycle is selected, the default garment setting of 3 will be displayed. The MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons are used to adjust the number of garments as described above. Once the cycle is started, the display will change back to the cycle time.
NOTE: The STATIC SHIELD option can be used together with the STEAM REFRESH cycle to help prevent static electricity.
OTurn on the dryer and rotate the cycle selector knob to select the STEAM REFRESH cycle.
OSelect the STATIC SHIELD option, if desired.
OThe default number of garments is 3. Press the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button to select the number of
garments in the load. Select_ | (big) to refresh |

Using the STATIC SHIELD Option
drying cycle to reduce the static This option injects steam late in the electricity caused by dry fabrics
rubbing together. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons until the display shows the number of articles in the load.
The EASY IRON option provides uniform, properly dampened fabrics for ironing, which can save time
and make ironing easier. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button, depending on the load (quantity of items). The display will show the recommended number of items, such as 1,2, 3, 4, or 5.
The STATIC SHIELD option can be used with the
STEAM REFRESH, HEAVY DUTY, NORMAL, CASUAL, DELICATES, EXPRESS DRY, TOUCH UP and TIMED DRY cycles.
NOTES:
•When STATIC SHIELD is added to auto dry cycles, the LESS and DAMP dry level cannot be selected.
•STATIC SHIELD can be used with TIMED DRY cycles.
•After the STATIC SHIELD option is selected in TIMED DRY, the MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons will change the steam time ONLY.
•After the cycle has started, the MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons are disabled.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM FUNCTIONS:
•Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam functions. This is normal.
•Do not use Steam Refresh with items such as
wool, wool blanket, leather jackets, silk, wet
clothes, lingerie, foam products, or electric blan- kets.
•For best results, load articles of similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.
•When the filter/duct is clogged, the steam functions may not have optimal results.
•During steam operation, the clothes will be tumbled only for a few seconds once a minute.
•The steam feeder must be filled with water up to the filter screen. Otherwise, the ADD WATER light may come on.
•If the exhaust duct is restricted or the lint filter is
not clean, the steam functions may not give proper results. See pages
