the dry setting with the loads.

Dry
Cycles
STEAM
REFRESH
For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on 1-5 garments.
Selecting a higher number of garments for the cycle (e.g.,selecting 5-garment load
for a 1-garment load) may result in excessive wetting of clothes. After the SteamRefresh
Cycle, the unit will beep and display "Garments Ready" and "0:00." If the unit is not turned
off or if the door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end
of 30 minutes, it will display "0:00" and "Cycle Complete."
A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included
in the steam refresh cycle to achieve optimum results.
STEAM
For use with larger loads than STEAMREFRESH. I deal for loads left in dryer for an extended
DEWRINKLE
time. Selecting a larger cycle than needed (e.g.,selecting Large Load for a half-full dryer)
may result in excessive wetting of clothes.
