Tips for Getting the Best Performance

from Your Steam Dryer

■ Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton

garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may

require additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.

■ Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with

Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

■ It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that

have been starched. Wash any starched or or new garments prior to using a Steam Cycle.

■ The Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and

reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.

■ The Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles

from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.

■ The Refresh Cycle time is set for 15 minutes and is not

adjustable. Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may experience under drying with the Refresh Cycle. Select Touch Up Cycle (20 min. default time) which can be customized to select High Temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing the Timed Cycle Adjust More Time button.

Cycles

NOTE: Not all cycles are available on all models. Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are

drying. See Automatic Preset or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart.

Steam models

Sanitize

Use this cycle for items such as towels, bedding, children’s clothing, or other items needing to be sanitized. This cycle is designed to eliminate 99.9% of 3 common infectious bacteria. This cycle should be run to completion to ensure sanitization. For best results, do not interrupt cycle.

Damp Dry Signal

On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected to alert you that your clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing.

The DAMP DRY SIGNAL is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in

mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the

a dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the drying process.
