Maintenance

Cleaning the Filter

Regular cleaning of the air filter is essential to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your hair dryer. A clogged filter can lead to overheating and reduced airflow.

  1. Ensure the hair dryer is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
  2. Twist or pull off the rear filter cover (refer to product diagram if unsure).
  3. Remove any accumulated lint, dust, or hair from the filter screen using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
  4. Replace the filter cover by aligning it and twisting or pushing it back into place until secure.

Troubleshooting

If your hair dryer is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues and solutions:

  • Dryer not turning on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the GFCI plug (if applicable) has not tripped; press the 'RESET' button if necessary.
  • Reduced airflow or overheating: The air filter may be clogged. Refer to the 'Cleaning the Filter' section for instructions. Ensure air intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed during use.
  • Unusual noise: This could indicate a foreign object in the fan or a clogged filter. Unplug the dryer and inspect the filter area. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
