STEAM CYCLES AND OPTIONS

ADD STEAM Option
STEAM cycles include the Steam Refresh,
Normal/Casual, Bulky/Bedding, Kids Wear,
Heavy Duty, Rugged and Whitest Whites.
Adding steam to these cycles provides
improved cleaning performance while
reducing energy and water consumption.
By using a hot steam spray and cooler water, fabrics get the
cleaning benefits of a super hot wash, without the energy
usage or potential damage to fabrics.
To ADD STEAM to a cycle:
1 Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to
select a cycle that allows the steam option.
2
Press the ADD STEAM button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
3
Set any other desired options.
4
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
CAUTION:
The door may be very warm during steam cycles. This
is normal.
Do not attempt to override the door lock mechanism or
reach into the washer during a steam cycle. Steam can
cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:
• Steam may not be visible during the steam cycles. This
is normal.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool,
silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
Using the STEAM REFRESH Cycle
STEAM REFRESH uses the power of steam alone to help
reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. Use it to reduce
wrinkles in clothes that have been stored for an
extended period of time or that have been left in the
drum for too long; and reduce odor in clothes that have
been worn in a smoky area. Steam also makes
ironing easier.
To use the STEAM REFRESH cycle:
1
Load up to five garments and close the door.
2 Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to
select the STEAM REFRESH cycle. The number three
(default setting) will appear in the display to indicate
three garments.
3
Press the ADD STEAM button until the display number
matches the number of garments loaded.
NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the drum
from a previous wash cycle, wipe the drum dry with a
towel before adding clothing. No other options need
to be selected.
4
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
After the STEAM REFRESH cycle is complete, the washer
will tumble the clothes for up to 30 minutes to prevent
clothes from becoming wrinkled again.
The clothing may feel slightly damp after removing from
the STEAM REFRESH cycle. If desired, hang clothes on a
hanger for a few minutes before wearing.
• The STEAM REFRESH cycle is not recommended for use
with 100% cotton clothing. Best results are achieved with
70/30 cotton/polyblend fabrics.
• Remove stains from clothing before using the STEAM
REFRESH cycle; the high heat could cause stains to
set in permanently.
• Do not use STEAM REFRESH with the following Items:
wool, blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes, lingerie,
foam products, or electric blankets.
• Best results are achieved when articles are of similar
size and fabric type. Do not overload the washer.
