How to Use Steam Fresh LG Dryer?

To use the steam fresh feature on your LG dryer, you have two primary methods: selecting the dedicated STEAM FRESH™ cycle or adding the STEAM option to compatible cycles. This feature is great for refreshing clothes, reducing wrinkles, and eliminating odors without a full wash.

Here’s how you can utilize the steam functions based on your needs:

Selecting the STEAM FRESH™ Cycle

The STEAM FRESH™ cycle is specifically designed to quickly refresh a few items that are wrinkled or have minor odors.

Follow these steps:

1. Turn on your LG dryer.
2. Locate the cycle selection dial or buttons on the control panel.
3. Simply select the STEAM FRESH™ cycle. This cycle is pre-programmed with optimal settings for steam refreshing.
4. The time and status display will immediately show the selected settings, the estimated time remaining for the cycle, any activated options, and important status messages for your dryer.
5. When the dryer is turned on, the light in the display will illuminate, making it easy to read the information.
6. Load your items (usually a small load for best results) and press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.

Adding a STEAM Option

Some LG dryer models allow you to add a steam option to other drying cycles, providing extra wrinkle care or sanitization benefits depending on the specific option available (like Steam Sanitize or Steam Wrinkle Care).

Here’s the general process:

1. Turn on your LG dryer.
2. Select your desired drying cycle from the cycle list (e.g., Normal, Perm. Press, Bulky, etc.). Ensure the selected cycle is compatible with steam options (check your dryer's manual if unsure).
3. Look for dedicated 'Steam' option buttons on your control panel, such as "Steam," "Steam Sanitize," "Wrinkle Care," or "Steam Fresh" as an option.
4. Add a STEAM option to the selected cycles by pressing the corresponding button.
5. Just like with selecting a cycle, the time and status display will update. It will show the new estimated time, reflect the added steam option, and provide relevant status messages.
6. When the dryer is turned on, the light in the display will illuminate, ensuring clear visibility of your chosen settings.
7. Load your laundry and press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle with the added steam feature.

Remember that the specific steam cycles and options available may vary slightly depending on your LG dryer model. Always consult your dryer's user manual for detailed instructions specific to your appliance.
