Store your typewriter in its case or under a dust cover when not in use. Avoid damp and sunny areas. Store your machine in a dry, environment with stable temperature and humidity.

Use a soft brush or compressed air to eliminate dust between keys and inside mechanisms. Having cats or dogs? Cover it at all times to prevent extra cleaning ;)

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove smudges and fingerprints; avoid harsh cleaners. Avoid aggressive liquids as they can harm varnish, paint, or plastic elements.

Apply a drop of lightweight oil (like Liquid Bearings) only to pivot points and never over-oil.

Change ribbons every few months or when prints start to fade. If letters start to fade quicker, just check the spool's movement to see if everything works fine. Maybe it is the direction lever or something that is stuck.

Return the carriage smoothly; avoid slamming to prevent damage. Handle the carriage with care during the return process to maintain its functionality and appearance. Be gentle, it is your best writing companion.

Never leave paper clamped in the platen for long periods; release the rollers' tension before storage. Proper care for your platen includes releasing the rollers' tension before storing your typewriter.

Write a lot! At least create small notes, one or two poems to fill an A4 page each month to power the machine; typewriters run smoothly without lubrication. Consistent writing ensures elite performance and enduring strength.
