Steam Generator - LG DLEX8388WM Training Manual

TRAINING MANUAL

STEAM GENERATOR

The steam in the dryer serves two purposes. The REDUCE STATIC cycle adds a slight
spray of steam to the drum during the last 15 minutes of most of the dry cycles. The
EASY IRON cycle adds a heavy spray of steam to the laundry load to leave the clothes
very damp in preparation for ironing. Either option is available on most cycles. Regardless
of cycle, the steam generator will be turned off during the last 8 minutes of any steam
washing cycle. When using the STEAM FRESH cycle, if the sensor bars detect moisture in
the load, the steam heater and pump will not be energized.

The steam is created by boiling water in
the steam generator and piping the steam
into the back of the dryer drum through a
nozzle toward the top of the back.
The water drawer, pump, and steam
generator are mounted in the guide
assembly on the left side of the dryer. The
tank is accessible by pulling out the drawer
on the control panel. Use ordinary tap
water to fill the tank.
The pump operates on 10 V
tank as the level in the steam generator is
determined by the sensors. The tank will
be pumped nearly dry the first time the
dryer is operated; thereafter, the dryer will
operate between 3 to 5 loads per tankful.
If the steam generator is not filled within
60 seconds of pump operation, the display
will indicate error code E5.
