6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your hair dryer.
- Cleaning the Lint Filter: The hair dryer features a removable lint filter at the rear.

To clean, twist or pull off the filter cover, remove any accumulated lint with a brush or cloth, and then reattach the cover securely.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the hair dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the dryer is unplugged and completely dry before storage or next use.
- Storage: Store the hair dryer in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this can damage the cord.
