Steam Functions (Steam Models) - LG DLE3460 Series Owner's Manual

Steam Functions
(Steam Models)
LG's new steam technology injects fabrics with a
swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes, reduce
static, and make ironing easier.
Simply select the Steam Fresh™ cycle, or add a
steam option to selected cycles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, death,
explosion, or fire, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles.
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum
during or after the steam cycle.
The Steam Sanitary™ Cycle
The Steam Sanitary™ cycle is ideal for sanitizing
non-washable items quickly and easily using the
power of steam.
Use this cycle for cotton and polyester material.
(Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or
delicate items).
The Steam Fresh™ Cycle
Steam Fresh™ uses the power of steam to quickly
reduce wrinkles and odors 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. Steam Fresh™ can also be used to
help reduce odors in fabrics.
NOTE
• Reduce Static options can also be used during the
Steam Fresh™ cycle.
• The cycle time depends on the load (number of
items). Press the More Time or Less Time button
to change the display to reflect the number of items
in the load. The display will show 3, 5, or
means 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items, and
indicates a large load such as a comforter.
Using the Steam Fresh™ Cycle
1
Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector
knob to select the Steam Fresh™ cycle.
2
To add an option function, select Reduce
Static, or Wrinkle Care.
3
The display shows the load size (number of
items). Change the steam time by pressing
the More Time or Less Time buttons to fit
the size of the load.
4
Press Start/Pause to start the cycle.
The Steam Options
The Reduce Static option injects steam late in the
drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by
dry fabrics rubbing together.
NOTE
• When Sensor Dry is selected with the Reduce
Static option, a Dry level of Less or Damp cannot be
selected.
• The Reduce Static option can also be selected
during Time Dry cycles.
• After the Steam option is selected in Time Dry, the
More Time or Less Time buttons will change the
steam time ONLY.
• Depending on the load (quantity of items), you can
change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing
the More Time or Less Time button. (Reduce
static: 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, or 18)
Adding Steam to a Standard Cycle

knob to select the desired cycle.

NOTE
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam

• Do not use Steam Fresh™ with items such as wool,
wool blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes,
lingerie, foam products, or electric blankets.
• For best results, load articles of similar size and
. 3
fabric type. Do not overload.
• When the filter/duct is clogged, the steam option
may not have optimal results.
• When the steam function is operating, the drum will
stop to allow steam to stay in the drum.

filter screen. Otherwise, an error message will be
displayed.
