Steam Functions

Clothes have damp

spots after drying.

Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.

• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the

dryness level of the load. Use a

Timed Dry

cycle for very small loads.

• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a

tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner

core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once

or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.

• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large

item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a

Timed Dry

cycle to finish drying the item(s).
