Settings and options shown in

Steam cycles are designed for use with dry loads to loosen wrinkles, reduce odors, and refresh fabrics.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted
for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more
than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Do not pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.
