STEAM FEATURES

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM FUNCTIONS:

• Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam
functions. This is normal.
• Do not use Steam Refresh with items such as wool,
wool blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes, lingerie,
foam products, or electric blankets.
• For best results, load articles of similar size and fabric
type. Do not overload.
• If the dryer exhaust system installed in the home is
restricted, the performance of the steam functions will
be reduced.
• During steam operation, the clothes will tumble for
only a few seconds, once a minute.
WARNING:
• Do not open the dryer door during Steam Cycles.
Steam can cause severe burns.
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or
after the steam cycle.

Using the STEAM SANITIZE Cycle

The STEAM SANITIZE cycle is ideal for sanitizing non-
washable items quickly and easily using only steam. This
cycle is recommended for use with cotton and polyester
materials only. (DO NOT use for urethane foam, down
feathers or delicate items.)

Using the STEAM REFRESH Cycle

The STEAM REFRESH cycle uses the power of steam to
quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings
new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for
an extended period of time, and it can make heavily
wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM REFRESH can
also be used to help reduce odors in clothes, such as
clothes that were worn in a room where people had
been smoking. This cycle can refresh from one to fi ve
garments, or one bulky item such as a comforter.
There are four settings available. Use 1 for one
garment. Use 3 for up to three garments and 5 for four
or fi ve garments. The
for bulky items. Best results are achieved with 70/30
cotton/polyblend fabrics.
Turn the dryer ON and select the STEAM REFRESH

cycle.
The default number of garments is three. Press the

MORE TIME or LESS TIME button to adjust the load
size, as described above.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

(big) setting should be used

Using the STATIC SHIELD Option

This option uses steam late in the drying cycle to reduce
the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing
together. Change the steam time by pressing the MORE
TIME and LESS TIME buttons to display the approximate
number of articles in the load: 7, 9, 11, 14, 16 or 18.
NOTE: When STATIC SHIELD is added to auto dry
cycles, the LESS and DAMP dry level cannot be
selected.

ACCELA STEAM

The ACCELA STEAM technology creates more steam in
less time than conventional steam technology. ACCELA
STEAM helps reduce the shrinkage and wrinkles
resulting from the overdrying of clothes by injecting
steam during the drying process. This feature is used by
default in the steam cycles, but it can also be added to
the standard Normal, Casual and Heavy Duty cycles.
