STEAM cycles include the Sanitary,
Bulky/Large, Perm. Press,
Cotton/Normal, and ALLERGIENE™
cycles. Adding the Steam option to
these cycles provides superior cleaning
performance while reducing energy and water
consumption. By using a hot steam spray from
above and cooler water below, fabrics get the
cleaning benefits of a super hot wash, without the
energy usage or potential damage to fabrics.
To Add STEAM to a Standard Cycle:
❶ Turn on the washer and turn the cycle
selector knob to select a cycle with the
STEAM option.
❷ Press the STEAM button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
❸ Set any other desired options.
❹ Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
cycle. The washer will start automatically.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the door during steam cycles.
The door surface can become very hot.
Allow the door lock to release before opening
the door.
Do not attempt to override the door lock
mechanism or reach into the washer during a
steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the
steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam
could damage clothing.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as
wool, silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
• Do not touch the door.

STEAM CYCLES

Using the SteamFresh™ Cycle
SteamFresh uses the power of steam alone to
quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It
brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been
stored for an extended time and makes heavily
wrinkled clothes easier to iron. SteamFresh can
also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.
To Use the SteamFresh Cycle:
❶ Turn on the washer and turn the cycle
selector knob to select the SteamFresh cycle.
❷ Load up to 5 items and close the door.
NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the
drum, such as from a previous wash cycle,
wipe the drum dry with a towel before adding
clothes.
❸ Press the STEAM button until the correct
number of items is shown in the display.
No other options need to be set.
❹ Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
cycle.
After the SteamFresh cycle is complete, the
washer will tumble the clothes for up to 30
minutes to prevent rewrinkling.
After removing clothes from the SteamFresh
cycle, they may feel slightly damp. Place clothes
on a hanger for at least 10 minutes to allow them
to dry.
• The SteamFresh cycle is not recommended for
use with 100% cotton clothing.
• Remove stains from clothing before using the
SteamFresh cycle; the high heat could cause
stains to set permanently.
• Do not use SteamFresh with the following
items:wool, blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet
clothes, lingerie, foam products, or electric
blankets.
• Best results are achieved when articles are of
similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.
