Major Appliances SILVER The LG SteamWasher with Allergiene Cycle from LG Electronics, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. The clothes washer is an allergen-reducing steam washing machine that is the first such appliance to be certified “asthma & allergy friendly™” by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. During the Allergiene cycle, the unit achieves a temperature above the recommended 131 DegF by the National Institute of Health to kill dust mites and remove pet dander by more than 95 percent. It works by distributing a high and even temperature of steam combined with hot water in order to dissolve and eliminate allergens. The steam, which is produced by LG’s steam generator, is used in different cycles on the machine. The SteamWash option feeds hot steam into the top of the wash drum through a spray nozzle. The SteamFresh cycle is a 20-min. steam-only cycle that uses steam to freshen and reduce wrinkles on dry clothes. Key players: LG Electronics appliance design team. Major Appliances SILVER LG SteamDryer from LG Electronics, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. The new LG SteamDryer features TrueSteam technology that injects steam via a pump and cartridge system into the tub.
