Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Clean the lint screen before and after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation and reduce the risk of fire.
- The interior of the dryer, including the exhaust vent, should be cleaned periodically by a qualified service person, at least every two years, or more often depending on usage.
- Keep the area around the dryer clear of combustible materials and free from items that can obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
- Avoid using the dryer for items exposed to cooking oils or flammable substances as they can create a fire hazard.
- Inspect the venting system periodically to ensure it is clear of lint and debris. A blocked vent can lead to longer drying times and increased energy consumption.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Clean the lint screen before and after each drying cycle to maintain efficient airflow.
- Use the correct drying cycle based on the load to prevent over-drying and save energy.
- Ensure that the dryer is properly leveled to reduce noise and vibration, which can indirectly improve efficiency.
- Regularly check and clean the exhaust vent system to prevent obstructions that can cause longer drying times.
- Avoid overloading the dryer, as small loads dry more quickly and use less energy.
- Do not use the dryer if you smell gas. Stop using the dryer immediately, clear the area, and contact the dryer owner as soon as possible.
- Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may undergo a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
- Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as these give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Do not allow children to play on or inside the dryer. Close supervision is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
- Ensure that the area around the dryer is free of lint, dust, and dirt accumulation, as this can pose a fire hazard.
