TROUBLESHOOTING & ERROR CODES
MAINTENANCE/CLEANING
Reduction in airflow.
A change in airflow or air power, airflow blockages, and/or visible buildup on the inlet at the back of the unit could indicate your unit needs to be cleaned. To maintain performance, clean the filter at the back of the unit every month, using a new toothbrush.
Removing the Filter
- Turn off the unit and unplug it. Rotate the filter cover on the back of the unit counterclockwise, then pull it off. Then rotate the filter counterclockwise and pull it off.
Cleaning the Filter
- Using a clean toothbrush, gently brush any dust off the mesh filter. Then soak the mesh filter in warm, soapy water for at least 30 minutes.
- Wipe down the back of the unit with a microfiber cloth to remove the debris.
- After 30 minutes, remove the filter from the water and rinse it under a faucet.
- Pat the filter dry with a microfiber cloth. Let the filter air-dry for up to 24 hours before reinstalling.
- To reinstall the filter, reinsert it and rotate it clockwise. Then align the filter cover and rotate it clockwise until it fits securely.
ALCI OPERATION
Electricity flickers or trips circuit breaker during use.
This dryer is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under abnormal conditions. Should the dryer turn off in use, press the red Reset button on the plug and the dryer should function normally. If the dryer does not reset, please check your circuit breaker. If the issue persists, ensure there are no other appliances plugged in within the room where the dryer is being used. Do not use the dryer with a power strip.
OVERHEATING
Hair dryer is overheating or shuts off.
This unit is equipped with a temperature-protective thermostat. If for some reason your hair dryer overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. To prevent power-down recurrence, unplug the hair dryer and set it aside to cool, or press the Cool Shot button during use. Overheating may result if the unit is powered on for a long duration. Overheating can also indicate a blockage or dust buildup. To prevent overheating, clean the filter at the bottom of the unit every month, using a new toothbrush. Make sure you are not covering the filter with your hand when operating the unit, as this could also cause overheating. If overheating continues to occur, contact Customer Service at 855-522-0912.
