Steam Cycles
Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such
as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have been left in the
dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the estimated time
remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the 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.
Rapid Refresh Small Load
This 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. In
this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum
after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue
to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The heat level
and cycle time are not adjustable.
Custom Refresh
This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in the
dryer too long. In this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into
the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer
will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The
dry time and temperature can be adjusted for this cycle.
NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.

Additional Features

Sensor Cycle Modifiers
Use the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select dryness levels for the
Sensor Cycles. Press DRYNESS LEVEL until the desired Dryness
setting illuminates.
The preset dryness setting is Normal when a Sensor Cycle is
selected. You can select a different Dryness Level, depending on
your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More,
Normal, Less, or Damp. Selecting More, Normal, Less, or Damp
automatically adjusts the Dryness Level at which the dryer will shut
off. Once a Dryness Level is set, it cannot be changed without
stopping the cycle.
The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting for drying
clothes; however, if desired, one alternate temperature may be
selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. Once the alternate
temperature has been selected, the next time the same cycle is
selected, the alternate temperature is remembered and displayed.
The original (default) temperature may be reselected. The Delicate
and Bulky cycles (on Steam model) do not offer an alternate
temperature.
NOTE: Dryness Level selections cannot be used with the Timed or
Steam Cycles.
Timed Cycle Modifiers
Use the TEMP LEVEL button to select temperatures for the Timed
Cycles. Press TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature setting
illuminates.
