STEAM CYCLES AND OPTIONS ADD STEAM Option Steam cycles include the Steam Refresh, Normal/Casual, Bulky/Bedding, Kids Wear, ..... Heavy Duty and Whitest Whites. Adding Add Steam steam to these cycles provides superior cleaning performance while reducing energy and water consumption. By using a hot steam spray from above and cooler water below, 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: O Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select a cycle that allows the steam option. t_ Press the ADD STEAM button. The washer will automatically adjust the cycle settings. O Set any other desired options. O Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. CAUTION: The door may become quite 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 quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended time and makes heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM REFRESH can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics. To use the STEAM REFRESH cycle: Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the STEAM REFRESH cycle. Load up to 5 items and close the door. NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the drum, such as from a previous wash cycle, wipe the drum dry with a towel before adding clothes. Press the ADD STEAM button until the correct number O of items is shown in the display. No other options need to be set. The cycle is designed to refresh from 1 to 5 garments. O 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. After removing clothes from the STEAM REFRESH cycle, they may feel slightly damp. 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 can be obtained with 70/30 cotton/poly blend fabrics. • Remove stains from clothing before using the STEAM REFRESH cycle; the high heat could cause stains to set 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. 20
