HOW TO USE STEAM FUNCTIONS LG's new steam technology allows you to inject fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes, reduce static, and make ironing easier. Simply select the Steam Fresh™ cycle, or you can add a Steam option to selected cycles. Using the Steam Fresh™ Cycle Steam Fresh™ 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 Fresh™ can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics. NOTES: • REDUCE STATIC or EASY IRON options can also be used during the STEAM FRESH™ cycle. • Depending on the load (quantity of items), you may change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button. The display will show 3, 5, or BULKY LOAD. 3 means 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items, and BULKY LOAD indicates a large load such as a comforter. To Use 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, EASY IRON, or WRINKLE CARE. 3 Depending on the load (quantity of items), steam time can be changed by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME buttons. 4 Press START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. To Add 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 for the Steam option you would like to add.

Using the Steam Options: This option injects steam late in the drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing together. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button, depending on the load (quantity of items). The display will show the recommended number of items, such as 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, or 18. The EASY IRON option provides EASY IRON * CHILD LOCK uniform, properly dampened fabrics for ironing, which can save time and make ironing easier. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button, depending on the load (quantity of items).
