SteamOare Cycles
Use SteamCare Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry
items, such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have
been left in the dryer too long. When the SteamCare Cycle is
selected, the estimated time remaining display shows the actual
time remaining in the cycle.
NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton
garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than
those without.
Refresh with SteamCare
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. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into
the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The
dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool
down. The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable.
Touch Up with SteamCam
This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in
the dryer too long. In this cycle, a small amount of water is
sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling
with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by
a brief cool down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted
for this cycle.
NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.
