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 . 3 means 3 or fewer items,
5 is for 4 or 5 items, and
load such as a comforter.
