SteamCare
Cycles
Use SteamCare 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 the SteamCare 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.
Refresh with SteamCam
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.
Touch Up with SteamCare
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.

a drying temperature.

Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time
remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the
cycle by pressing More Time or Less Time. See "Changing

Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Auto 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.
Use Timed Dry/Air Dry cycles for items that require drying without
heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This table
shows examples of items that can be dried using Timed Dry/Air
