STEAM CYCLES
STEAM cycles include the STEAM
FRESH™, ALLERGIENE™, SANITARY,
BRIGHT WHITES™, BULKY/
LARGE, PERM.PRESS, COTTON/
NORMAL, HEAVY DUTY and TOWELS 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.

1

Steam Fresh cycle; the high heat could cause
TM
stains to set permanently.

items : wool, blankets, leather jackets, silk,
wet clothes, lingerie, foam products, or electric
blankets.
