H O W TO U S E
Using the Steam Fresh ™ Cycle
Steam Fresh TM uses the power of steam alone
to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It
brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been
stored for an extended time and makes heavily
wrinkled clothes easier to iron. Steam Fresh TM can
also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.
Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly
soiled clothing and small load. For high wash and
rinse efficiency, it is recommended to wash small
loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments.
NOTE: Use a little detergent in this cycle. If you
want more rinsing, you can add extra rinse by
using the option button.
To Use the Steam Fresh ™ Cycle:
Turn on the washer and turn the cycle
selector knob to select the Steam Fresh
™
cycle.
Load up to 5 items and close the door.
NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the
drum, such as from a previous wash cycle,
wipe the drum dry with a towel before
adding clothes.
Press the STEAM button until the correct
number of items is shown in the display.
No other options need to be set.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
cycle.
After the Steam Fresh TM cycle is complete, the
washer will tumble the clothes for up to 30
minutes to prevent rewrinkling.
After removing clothes from the Steam Fresh
TM
cycle, they may feel slightly damp. Place
clothes on a hanger for at least 10 minutes to
allow them to dry.
• The Steam Fresh
TM cycle is not recommended
for use with 100% cotton clothing.
• Remove stains from clothing before using the
Steam Fresh TM cycle; the high heat could cause
stains to set permanently.
• Do not use Steam Fresh TM with the following
items : wool, blankets, leather jackets, silk,
wet clothes, lingerie, foam products, or electric
blankets.
• Best results are achieved when articles are of
similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.

STEAM CYCLES
SPEED WASH CYCLE
STEAM cycles include the STEAM
FRESH™, ALLERGIENE™, SANITARY,
BULKY/LARGE, PERM.PRESS, COTTON/
NORMAL and 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.
To Add STEAM to a Standard Cycle:
Turn on the washer and turn the cycle
selector knob to select a cycle with the
STEAM option.
Press the STEAM button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
Set any other desired options.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
cycle. The washer will start automatically.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the door during steam cycles.
The door surface can become very hot.
Allow the door lock to release before
opening the door.
Do not attempt to override the door lock
mechanism or reach into the washer during a
steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the
steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam
could damage clothing.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as
wool, silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
• Do not touch the door.
