NOTE: Automatic Cycles are not available when using the Air Only

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 Quick Refresh and 
Enhanced Touch Up. 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.

*The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle has a minimum dry time of 

15 minutes and a maximum dry time of 40 minutes. Only the 
Medium and High temperature settings can be used for the 
Enhanced Touch Up Cycle.

When pressed during a cycle, the Drum Light turns on and will 
remain on until pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or 
the door is left open for 20 minutes. 

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer 
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ 
feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help 
keep wrinkles from forming.

■

Get up to 140 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the 
end of a cycle. Turn off at any time by pressing the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature or opening the dryer door.

■

For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is 
preset to “ON.” The other cycles will retain the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature setting. (The Wrinkle Shield feature is preset 
to “ON” for the Casual Cycle. If selected for other cycles, it will 
remain “ON” the next time that cycle is selected.)
