Steam Functions (Steam Models) LG's new steam technology injects fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes, reduce static, and make ironing easier. Simply select the Steam Fresh™ cycle, or add a steam option to selected cycles. WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury, death, explosion, or fire, follow basic safety precautions, including the following: • Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles. • Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or after the steam cycle. The Steam Sanitary™ Cycle The Steam Sanitary™ cycle is ideal for sanitizing non-washable items quickly and easily using the power of steam. Use this cycle for cotton and polyester material. (Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or delicate items). The Steam Fresh™ Cycle Steam Fresh™ uses the power of steam to quickly reduce wrinkles and odors 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 Fresh™ can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics. NOTE • Reduce Static options can also be used during the Steam Fresh™ cycle. • The cycle time depends on the load (number of items). Press the More Time or Less Time button to change the display to reflect the number of items in the load. The display will show 3, 5, or . 3 means 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items, and indicates a large load such as a comforter. Using the Steam Fresh™ Cycle 1 Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the Steam Fresh™ cycle. 2 To add an option function, select Reduce Static, or Wrinkle Care. 3 The display shows the load size (number of items). Change the steam time by pressing the More Time or Less Time buttons to fit the size of the load. 4 Press Start/Pause to start the cycle. OPERATION 43 The Steam Options The Reduce Static option injects steam late in the drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing together. NOTE • When Sensor Dry is selected with the Reduce Static option, a Dry level of Less or Damp cannot be selected. • The Reduce Static option can also be selected during Time Dry cycles. • After the Steam option is selected in Time Dry, the More Time or Less Time buttons will change the steam time ONLY. • Depending on the load (quantity of items), you can change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the More Time or Less Time button. (Reduce static: 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, or 18) Adding Steam to a Standard Cycle 1 Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle. 2 Use the cycle setting buttons to adjust the settings for that cycle. 3 Press the Steam option button (Reduce Static, or Wrinkle Care) for the desired steam option. Then adjust for the load size using the More Time or Less Time buttons. 4 Press Start/Pause to start the cycle. NOTE • Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam cycles. This is normal. • Do not use Steam Fresh™ 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. • When the filter/duct is clogged, the steam option may not have optimal results. • When the steam function is operating, the drum will stop to allow steam to stay in the drum. • The steam feeder must be filled with water up to the filter screen. Otherwise, an error message will be displayed. ENGLISH
