6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the hair dryer is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Air Intake Filter: Regularly check the rear air intake filter for lint and dust buildup. Gently clean with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to maintain optimal airflow and prevent overheating.
• Storage: For compact storage, fold the handle. Utilize the convenient hanging hook if available. Store the appliance in a dry, safe location away from children.
• Cord Care: Do not wrap the cord around the appliance. This can cause premature wear and breakage of the cord. Always store the cord loosely coiled.

7. Troubleshooting

If your Sunbeam HD3005-005 hair dryer is not functioning as expected, please review the following common issues:

• No Power: Ensure the hair dryer is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is active by testing it with another appliance. If the plug has a reset button, press it.
• Reduced Airflow or Overheating: The air intake filter at the back of the dryer may be blocked by lint or hair. Unplug the dryer and clean the filter as described in the Maintenance section. Allow the dryer to cool down before resuming use.
• Unusual Noise: Unplug the dryer and check for any foreign objects in the air intake or exhaust grilles. Remove any obstructions carefully. If the noise persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
