Steam Cycles
In these cycles, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer
drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The STEAM
status light will come on while the water is sprayed into the drum.
The dryer will continue to tumble at High heat for the duration of
the cycle. The Steam cycles include Quick Refresh and
Enhanced Touch Up. The heat setting and cycle time are not
adjustable for the Quick Refresh cycle, but can be adjusted for
the Enhanced Touch Up cycle.
Quick Refresh
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors
from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic
garments.
Enhanced Touch Up
This cycle uses water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from
items such as clothes packed in a suitcase or wrinkled from
being left in the dryer too long.
