Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are 
drying. See the following Automatic Cycle Settings chart. Each 
cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. 

 

A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically 
adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. Press the DRYNESS 
button to adjust the default dryness level.

*Reset time to complete drying, if needed.

In these cycles, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer 
drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The STEAM 
Status Light will come on while the water is sprayed into the drum. 
The dryer will continue to tumble at Medium heat for the duration 
of the cycle. The Steam Cycles include Enhanced Touch Up and 
Quick Refresh. The heat setting and cycle time are not adjustable 
for the Quick Refresh Cycle, but can be adjusted for the Enhanced 
Touch Up 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.
