Maintenance Tips

• Clean the lint filter before/after every load to maintain airflow and drying efficiency.

• Inspect & clean the dryer vent/ductwork periodically (yearly or more if heavy use) to prevent lint buildup and reduce fire risk.

• Wipe the drum interior occasionally with a soft cloth to remove residue and lint.

• Keep the exterior and control panel clean with a damp, non‑abrasive cloth to protect finish and operation.

• Avoid overloading the drum — proper airflow improves dry times and reduces component stress.

• Ensure proper vent installation and airflow at the exhaust to optimize performance (moisture sensor works best with good airflow).

• Use the right cycle/temperature settings based on fabric type to protect garments and efficiency.

• Schedule periodic professional service for vent system and electrical checks to extend life and prevent issues.
