STEAM FEATURES
WARNING:
• Do not open the dryer door during Steam Cycles.
Steam can cause severe burns.
• Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, or other flammable
or explosive
substances.
They give off vapors that could explode.
• Do not drink water from the steam feeder.
• Do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over
86°F/30°C).
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or
after the steam cycle.
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 home's exhaust system 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.
• The steam feeder must be filled with water up to the
MAX line. Otherwise,
the ADD WATER light
may illuminate.
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 five
garments, or one bulky item such as a comforter.
There
are three settings available.
Use
for one to three
garments
and _ for four or five garments. The b I_
(big) setting should be used for bulky items. Best results
are achieved
with 70/30
cotton/polyblend
fabrics.
NOTE: The STATIC SHIELD option can be used together
with the STEAM REFRESH cycle to help prevent
static electricity
after the cycle.
