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 new garments
prior to using a Steam Cycle.
■ The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles and reducing odors from small loads consisting
of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend,
common knits, and synthetic garments.
■ The Enhanced 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 Quick Refresh Cycle time is adjusted for the Number
of Garments option selected. Under certain environmental
or installation conditions, you may experience under
drying with the Quick Refresh Cycle. Select Enhanced
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.

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.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The
control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint
screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
To clean

Removing Accumulated Lint
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT:
■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■ If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements.”
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen
is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brus

Vacation, Storage, and Moving Care
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some
water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your dryer. If
storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
Non-Use or Storage Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on
vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time,
you should:
1. Unplug dry
