is normal.
* Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool,
silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
Using the STEAM REFRESH Cycle
STEAM REFRESH uses the power of steam alone to help
reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. Use it to reduce
wrinkles in clothes that have been stored for an
extended period of time or that have been left in the
drum for too long; and reduce odor in clothes that have
been worn in a smoky area. Steam also makes
ironing easier.

Load up to five garments and close the door.
Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to
select the STEAM REFRESHcycle. The number three
(default setting) will appear in the display to indicate
three garments.
Pressthe ADD STEAM button until the number
display
matches the number of garments loaded.
NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the drum
from a previous wash cycle, wipe the drum dry with a
towel before adding clothing. No other options need
to be selected.
O Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
After the STEAM REFRESH cycle is complete, the washer
will tumble the clothes for up to 30 minutes to prevent
clothes from becoming wrinkled again.
The clothing may feel slightly damp after removing from
the STEAM REFRESHcycle. If desired, hang clothes on a
hanger for a few minutes before wearing them.
*The STEAM REFRESH cycle is not recommended for use
with 100% cotton clothing. Best results are achieved with
70/30 cotton/polyblend fabrics.

REFRESH cycle; the high heat could cause stains to
set in permanently.
*Do not use STEAM 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 the washer.
