H ow to use washer
STEAM cycles include the
Sanitary, Bulky/Large, Perm.
Press, Cotton/Normal, and
Allergy Care 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:
1⃞ Turn on the washer and turn the cycle
selector knob to select a cycle with the
STEAM option.
2⃞ Press the STEAM button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
3⃞ Set any other desired options.
4⃞ 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 Refresh Cycle
Refresh 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. Refresh
can also be used to help reduce odors in
fabrics.
To Use the Refresh Cycle:
1⃞ Turn on the washer and turn the cycle
selector knob to select the Refresh cycle.
2⃞ Load up to 5 items and close the door.
NOTE
3⃞ Press the STEAM button until the correct
number of items is shown in the display. No
other options need to be set.
4⃞ Press the START/PAUSE button to start
the cycle.
After the Refresh cycle is complete, the
washer will tumble the clothes for up to 30
minutes to prevent rewrinkling.
After removing clothes from the Refresh cycle,
they may feel slightly damp. Place clothes on a
hanger for at least 10 minutes to allow them to
dry.
• The Refresh cycle is not recommended for
use with 100% cotton clothing.
• Remove stains from clothing before using the
Refresh cycle; the high heat could cause
stains to set permanently.
• Do not use Refresh 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.
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.
