For cottons and most linens.
For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends.
For wrinkle-free/easy care and permanent press items.
Clothing worn for active sports exercise and some casual wear. Fabrics include new
technology finishes and stretch fibers such as Spandex.
For lingerie and special-care fabrics.
For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sports or school uniforms. Can also be
used if the previous cycle left some items damp, such as collars or waistbands.
STEAM For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on 1–5 garments.
Selecting a higher number of garments for the cycle (e.g., selecting 5-garment load
for a 1-garment load) may result in excessive wetting of clothes. After the SteamRefresh
Cycle, the unit will beep and display "Garments Ready" and "0:00." If the unit is not turned
off or if the door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end
of 30 minutes, it will display "0:00" and "Cycle Complete."
A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included
in the steam refresh cycle to achieve optimum results.
STEAM For use with larger loads than STEAM REFRESH. Ideal for loads left in dryer for an extended
time. Selecting a larger cycle than needed (e.g., selecting Large Load for a half-full dryer)
may result in excessive wetting of clothes.
Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes.
