Special Features

Steam Sanitize+: Adds a steam phase at the end of a cycle to reduce allergens and refresh clothes. Select the Steam option before starting.

Care & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

2. Exhaust Vent: Inspect and clean the ductwork at least once a year to prevent lint buildup and fire hazard.
3. Exterior: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
4. Drum: Wipe with a soft cloth if needed. Run an "Air Fluff" cycle occasionally with a dryer-safe cleaning cloth to remove dust.
