Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your CHI Pro Hair Dryer:
- Power On: Locate the power switch on the handle. Slide it to the 'ON' position.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hair dryer.
- Cleaning the Air Filter: Regularly check and clean the rear air filter to prevent lint and dust buildup, which can restrict airflow and cause overheating. To clean, ensure the dryer is unplugged and cool. Gently twist or pull off the rear filter cover (refer to product diagram if available). Remove any accumulated lint or hair with a soft brush or cloth. Replace the filter cover securely.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the hair dryer in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance, as this can damage the cord. Use the hanging loop for convenient storage.
- Cord Care: Periodically inspect the power cord for any damage. If the cord becomes twisted, untwist it before use. Never use the appliance if the cord is damaged.
