Maintenance Tips

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

• Inspect and clear the dryer vent/exhaust system periodically (at least yearly) to prevent lint buildup and reduce fire risk.

• Avoid overloading the drum so clothes can tumble freely and dry evenly.

• Use appropriate cycle and temperature settings based on fabric care labels to protect clothing and machine.

• Wipe the drum and door area occasionally to remove residue and prevent odors — especially after steam cycles.

• Check vent hose and connections for good airflow and secure fittings to optimize drying performance.

• Keep the dryer level and in a dry area to reduce vibration and protect internal parts.

• Address lint accumulation and airflow issues quickly — restricted airflow can reduce efficiency and pose safety hazards.
