H O W TO U S E

STEAM

To Use the SteamFresh Cycle:

Turn on the washer and turn the cycle

selector knob to select the SteamFresh 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 CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB to start

the cycle.

After the SteamFresh cycle is complete,

the washer will tumble the clothes for up

to 30 minutes to prevent rewrinkling.
After removing clothes from the SteamFresh

cycle, they may feel slightly damp. Place

clothes on a hanger for at least 10 minutes to

allow them to dry.
• The SteamFresh cycle is not recommended for

use with 100% cotton clothing.

• Remove stains from clothing before using the

SteamFresh cycle; the high heat could cause

stains to set permanently.

• Do not use SteamFresh 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.

Using the SteamFresh

Cycle

SteamFresh 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. SteamFresh can

also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.

STEAM CYCLES

STEAM cycles include the

SteamFresh™, Allergiene™, Sanitary,

Bulky/Large, Cotton/Normal, and

Perm. Press 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 CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB 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.
