cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:
• Steam may not be visible during the steam cycles. This
is normal.

silk, or easily discolored fabrics.

prewash, rinse and spin cycle to the
chosen cycle. This is especially useful
for heavily soiled items.
ACCELA WASH
The Accela Wash option uses a twin
water-spray and detergent injection
which reduces cycle time while
maintaining wash performance when added to a cycle.
