HOW TO USE STEAM CYCLES STEAM cycles include the STEAM FRESH™, ALLERGIENE™, SANITARY, BULKY/LARGE, PERM.PRESS, COTTON/ NORMAL and cycles. Adding the Steam option 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 Standard Cycle: 1 Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select a cycle with the STEAM option. 2 Press the STEAM button. The washer will automatically adjust the cycle settings. 3 Set any other desired options. 4 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. The washer will start automatically. CAUTION: Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The door surface can become very hot. Allow the door lock to release before opening the door. 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 clearly visible during the steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could damage clothing. • Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool, silk, or easily discolored fabrics. • Do not touch the door. Using the Steam Fresh™ Cycle Steam FreshTM 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 FreshTM can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics. To Use the Steam Fresh™ Cycle: 1 Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the Steam Fresh™ cycle. 2 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. 3 Press the STEAM button until the correct number of items is shown in the display. No other options need to be set. 4 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. After the Steam FreshTM cycle is complete, the washer will tumble the clothes for up to 30 minutes to prevent rewrinkling. After removing clothes from the Steam FreshTM cycle, they may feel slightly damp. Place clothes on a hanger for at least 10 minutes to allow them to dry. • The Steam FreshTM cycle is not recommended for use with 100% cotton clothing. • Remove stains from clothing before using the Steam FreshTM cycle; the high heat could cause stains to set permanently. • Do not use Steam FreshTM 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. SPEED WASH CYCLE Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly soiled clothing and small load. For high wash and rinse efficiency, it is recommended to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments. NOTE: Use a little detergent in this cycle. If you want more rinsing, you can add extra rinse by using the option button. 22
