Steam Cycle
In these cycles, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer
drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The STEAM
Status Light will come on while the water is sprayed into the drum.
The dryer will continue to tumble at Medium heat for the duration
of the cycle. The Steam Cycles include Enhanced Touch Up and
Quick Refresh. The heat setting and cycle time are not adjustable
for the Quick Refresh Cycle, but can be adjusted for the Enhanced
Touch Up Cycle.
NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton
garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than
those without.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam
cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes.
