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.
