FAQs
How often should I clean the lint filter?
Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle to maintain optimal performance and prevent potential fire hazards.

The heat pump recycles hot air, using a pump instead of a heating element, which dries clothes at a lower temperature, making it more energy-efficient and gentler on fabrics.
