Maintenance

Cleaning the Air Filter
The removable filter cap at the rear of the dryer should be cleaned regularly to prevent lint and hair buildup, which can reduce airflow and cause overheating.

- Gently twist or pull off the rear filter cap (refer to product diagram if unsure).
- Remove any accumulated lint or hair using a soft brush or by hand.
- Replace the filter cap, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
General Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the hair dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
- Dryer not turning on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Ensure the GFCI plug has not tripped (press 'RESET' if necessary).
- Low airflow or overheating: The air filter may be clogged. Refer to the 'Cleaning the Air Filter' section for instructions.
- Attachments falling off: Ensure attachments are pushed firmly onto the nozzle. If they become loose over time, they may need replacement.
