UsingtheSTATICSHIELDoption

This option uses steam late in the drying
cycle to reduce the static electricity
caused by dry fabrics rubbing together.
Change the steam time by pressing the
MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons to display the
approximate number of articles in the load: 7, 9, 11, 14,
16 or 18.
NOTE: When STATIC SHIELD is added to auto dry
cycles, the LESS and DAMP dry level cannot
be selected.

UsingtheEASYIRONoption

Press the Damp Dry Signal button for
three seconds to access the Easy Iron
function. The EASY IRON option provides
uniform, properly dampened fabrics for
ironing, which can save time and make ironing easier.
Change the steam time by pressing the MORE TIME or
LESS TIME button, depending on the number of
garments in the load: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
NOTE: After the STATIC SHIELD or EASY IRON option is
selected in timed dry cycles, the MORE TIME and LESS
TIME buttons will change the number of garments, as
described above. After the cycle has started, the MORE
TIME and LESS TIME buttons are disabled.
• Do not open the dryer door during Steam Cycles.
Steam can cause severe burns.
• Do not ll the steam feeder with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances.
They give o vapors that could explode.
• Do not drink water from the steam feeder.
• Do not ll the steam feeder with hot water (over
86°F/30°C).
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or
after the steam cycle.
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 blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes, lingerie,
foam products, or electric blankets.
• For best results, load articles of similar size and fabric
type. Do not overload.
• If the home’s exhaust system is restricted, the
performance of the steam functions will be reduced
(refer to pages 14 and 15).
• During steam operation, the clothes will tumble for
only a few seconds, once a minute.
• The steam feeder must be lled with water up to the
MAX line. Otherwise, the ADD WATER light
may illuminate.

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 period of 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 had
been smoking. This cycle can refresh from one to ve
garments, or one bulky item such as a comforter. There
are three settings available. Use 3 for one to three
garments and 5 for four or ve garments. The
(big) setting should be used for bulky items. Best results
are achieved with 70/30 cotton/polyblend fabrics.
NOTE: The STATIC SHIELD option can be used together
with the STEAM REFRESH cycle to help prevent
static electricity after the cycle.
Turn the dryer ON and select the STEAM REFRESH
cycle.
Select the STATIC SHIELD option, if desired.
The default number of garments is three. Press the
MORE TIME or LESS TIME button to adjust the load
size, as described above.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
