- Keep Away from Water: Never use the hair dryer near water or in a wet bathroom. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Ensure your hands are dry before handling the hair dryer.
- Air Intake and Exhaust: Keep the air intake and exhaust areas of the hair dryer clean and free from obstructions. A clogged intake can cause overheating.

Maintenance
Regular Cleaning:
- Clean the air intake vents: Dust, lint, and debris can accumulate in the air intake vents, restricting airflow and causing the hair dryer to overheat. To clean them:
- Unplug the hair dryer.
- Use a soft brush, cotton swab, or a can of compressed air to gently remove debris from the vents.
- Ensure the vents are clear of any obstructions.
Cleaning the Exterior:
- Wipe the exterior of the hair dryer with a damp, soft cloth to remove any dirt or residue.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish.
Attachment Care:
- If you use the concentrator nozzle or diffuser attachments, clean them regularly by removing any hair or product buildup. Wash them with mild soap and warm water, and allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
Storage:
- Store the hair dryer in a cool, dry place to prevent exposure to moisture, which can damage the electrical components.
- Avoid hanging the hair dryer by its cord, as this can cause stress on the cord and potentially damage it. Instead, wrap the cord loosely and store it separately from the dryer.
Cord Care:
- Be gentle when winding and unwinding the power cord. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can weaken the cord over time.
- If you notice any damage to the cord, such as fraying or exposed wires, discontinue use immediately and replace the cord or seek professional repair.
Professional Servicing:
- If you encounter any issues with the hair dryer, such as unusual noises, overheating, or decreased performance, it’s advisable to contact the manufacturer’s customer support or a certified service center for professional servicing and repairs.
Avoid Dropping:
- Accidental drops or impacts can affect the internal components of the hair dryer. Handle it with care and avoid dropping it to maintain its functionality.
Lubrication:
- Some hair dryers may have parts that require lubrication for smooth operation. Consult the user manual for guidance on lubricating specific components if needed
