Zusammenfassung:A laundry appliance (12) includes a blower (22) that delivers process air (24) through an airflow path (26). A rotating drum (18) defines a processing chamber (16). The processing chamber (16) is part of the airflow path (26). A steam generating system (10) disposes steam(14) into the processing chamber (16). A plurality of fluid nozzles (20) direct the steam (14) into the processing chamber (16) according to an operating pattern (30). The plurality of fluid nozzles (20) include a first nozzle that is positioned within an upper portion (52) of the processing chamber (16) and a second nozzle that is positioned in a lower portion (56) of the processing chamber (16).
