6. Maintenance

6.1 Washer Maintenance

Self Clean Function: Use the Self Clean cycle regularly to keep the washer tub fresh and free of dirt and bacteria buildup. This cycle uses hot water and high-speed spinning to clean the tub without the need for harsh chemicals.

6.2 Dryer Maintenance

Lint Filter Cleaning: Clean the lint filter before or after every load to maintain drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards. A clogged lint filter can significantly increase drying time and energy consumption.
