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.
Quick Refresh
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.
Enhanced Touch Up
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.

Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight
and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes.
Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using
Timed Dry on a low temperature setting.
