Steam Cycles (on some models) Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the cycle. NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes. Quick Refresh This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cottonpolyester blend, common knits and synthetic garments. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable. Enhanced Touch Up This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. In this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted for this cycle. NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.
