Extending the Life of Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer with Proper Usage

Proper usage and regular care can significantly extend the lifespan of your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer. By following a few simple tips, you can keep your airer functioning at its best, reduce wear and tear, and maintain its efficiency over time.


1. Avoid Overloading the Airer

Why It’s Important:

Overloading your airer with too many clothes or heavy items can strain its components, causing mechanical wear and reducing its lifespan.

Best Practices:

  • Stick to the Weight Limit: Check the manufacturer’s recommended weight limit and avoid exceeding it.
  • Evenly Distribute the Load: Spread clothes evenly across the airer to avoid placing too much weight on one side or overloading specific rods or components.

How It Helps:

  • Prevents unnecessary stress on the airer’s structure, reducing the risk of breakage or bending.
  • Ensures optimal drying performance by allowing proper airflow around the clothes.

2. Use Shorter Drying Sessions

Why It’s Important:

Running the airer for extended periods unnecessarily can wear out its components more quickly, as well as increase energy consumption.

Best Practices:

  • Set Timers: Use the Timer feature in the Smart Life app to run the airer for only as long as needed. For example, set the timer for 1-2 hours depending on the moisture level of the clothes.
  • Avoid Over-Drying: Turn off the airer once clothes are dry, as continued operation puts strain on the device without any benefit.

How It Helps:

  • Reduces wear on internal components, extending the airer’s life.
  • Helps lower energy consumption by only running the airer when necessary.

3. Keep the Airer Clean and Dust-Free

Why It’s Important:

Dirt, dust, and lint can accumulate over time and cause the airer to function less efficiently. This can also lead to blockages in moving parts, affecting performance.

Best Practices:

  • Wipe Down Surfaces Regularly: Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the airer once a week or whenever dust is visible.
  • Clean Filters (If Applicable): Some airers have filters that collect lint or dust. Clean these every few months to maintain proper airflow and prevent blockages.
  • Inspect Moving Parts: Make sure any hinges or rods are free of debris that could affect smooth operation.

How It Helps:

  • Prevents dust build-up that could interfere with the airer’s mechanisms.
  • Ensures smooth operation and improves overall efficiency.

4. Store the Airer in a Dry and Ventilated Space

Why It’s Important:

Moisture can cause rust, corrosion, or damage to the electronic components of the airer. Storing the airer in a dry, well-ventilated space helps prevent these issues.

Best Practices:

  • Avoid Damp Areas: Do not store the airer in areas prone to moisture, such as basements, bathrooms, or garages with poor ventilation.
  • Use It Indoors: If possible, use the airer indoors to protect it from the elements, especially in humid or rainy weather.
  • Cover When Not in Use: If you need to store the airer for long periods, consider using a dust cover or cloth to protect it from dust and moisture.

How It Helps:

  • Prevents rust or moisture damage, which can shorten the lifespan of the airer.
  • Keeps the airer in better condition for prolonged use.

5. Use the Airer’s Features Correctly

Why It’s Important:

Using your airer as intended ensures that you get the most out of its smart features and prevents unnecessary damage or wear.

Best Practices:

  • Use the Smart Life App: Take advantage of features like scheduling and timers to run the airer efficiently. This prevents overuse and helps manage energy consumption.
  • Manual Control: When using the airer’s manual control button, ensure you follow proper procedures (e.g., not pressing the button too hard or too frequently).
  • Use Automation Features: Set smart scenes and schedules to automate the airer, reducing manual handling and wear.

How It Helps:

  • Optimises energy efficiency and reduces wear through smart control.
  • Minimises the chances of overuse or mishandling the device.

6. Perform Regular Inspections for Wear and Tear

Why It’s Important:

Regularly inspecting your airer helps catch potential issues early, such as loose parts, damaged rods, or malfunctioning components. Addressing these problems early can prevent them from worsening and causing more serious damage.

Best Practices:

  • Check for Loose Screws or Parts: Inspect the airer every few months for any loose screws or joints and tighten them as needed.
  • Inspect for Signs of Wear: Look for bent rods, frayed cables, or any other signs of wear that could affect performance. If needed, contact customer support for replacements.
  • Reset the Device as Needed: If you experience performance issues, such as connectivity problems or slow responses, reset the airer to its factory settings.

How It Helps:

  • Keeps the airer functioning smoothly by addressing issues before they become major problems.
  • Extends the overall lifespan of the device by ensuring it remains in good condition.

7. Keep Firmware and Software Updated

Why It’s Important:

Firmware updates often include performance improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations that ensure your airer operates efficiently.

Best Practices:

  • Update Firmware: Check for firmware updates in the Smart Life app every few months to ensure your airer is running the latest version.
  • Keep the Smart Life App Updated: Ensure the Smart Life app on your smartphone is up to date to take advantage of new features and improvements.

How It Helps:

  • Ensures the airer runs efficiently with the latest performance enhancements.
  • Prevents potential software-related issues that could affect the device’s lifespan.

8. Avoid Power Surges and Electrical Damage

Why It’s Important:

Sudden power surges or electrical issues can damage the airer’s internal components. Protecting it from power fluctuations helps preserve its electronics.

Best Practices:

  • Use a Surge Protector: Plug the airer into a surge protector to safeguard it from sudden voltage spikes.
  • Unplug When Not in Use: If you’re not using the airer for an extended period, unplug it to avoid any potential electrical issues.

How It Helps:

  • Protects the airer’s electronic components from damage, ensuring a longer life.
  • Reduces the risk of electrical malfunctions.

You’re All Set for Longevity!

By following these tips for proper usage and regular maintenance, you’ll ensure that your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer continues to perform optimally for years to come. Taking care of the airer by avoiding overloading, keeping it clean, and using it correctly will help you maximise its lifespan and efficiency.
