Tips for Getting the Best Performance from Your Steam Dryer ■ Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after the Steam Cycle. ■ Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes. ■ It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a Steam Cycle. ■ The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments. ■ The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For best results, do not overload the dryer. ■ The Quick Refresh Cycle time is set for 15 minutes and is not adjustable. Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may experience under drying with the Quick Refresh Cycle. Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle (20 min. default time) which can be customized to select High Temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing the Timed Cycle Adjust More Time button.
