Safety Precautions

• Read the User Manual: Before using the hair dryer, thoroughly read and understand the user manual that comes with it. The manual contains important safety instructions and usage guidelines specific to your model.
• Unplug When Not in Use: Always unplug the hair dryer from the electrical outlet when it is not in use. This prevents accidental activation and reduces the risk of electrical hazards.
• Keep Away from Water: Never use the hair dryer near water or in a wet environment. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination, and using the dryer near water sources can lead to electric shock.
• Do Not Block Airflow: Ensure that the air intake and exhaust vents of the hair dryer are not obstructed during operation. Blocking these vents can cause the hair dryer to overheat, potentially leading to damage or fire.
• Use on Dry Hair Only: Only use the hair dryer on dry hair. Do not use it on wet or damp hair, as this can increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid Covering the Nozzle: Do not cover the nozzle of the hair dryer while it is in use. This can cause overheating and may damage the appliance.
• Do Not Wrap the Cord Around the Dryer: Avoid wrapping the power cord around the body of the hair dryer when storing it. This can cause the cord to become damaged and pose a safety hazard.
• Use a Suitable Power Outlet: Ensure that the electrical outlet you use is in good condition and matches the voltage requirements of the hair dryer. Using an outlet that is not suitable may result in damage to the appliance or electrical issues.
• Keep the Dryer Clean: Regularly clean the air intake grille and filter, as specified in the user manual. Cleanliness helps maintain optimal airflow and prevents overheating.
• Avoid Flammable Materials: Do not use the hair dryer near flammable materials such as curtains, paper, or aerosol sprays. The heat generated by the dryer can pose a fire risk when in close proximity to flammable substances.
• Overheating Protection: The Conair 234SB Travel Folding Hair Dryer may have built-in overheating protection mechanisms. If the dryer overheats, it should automatically shut off. Allow it to cool down before resuming use.
• Supervise Children: Keep the hair dryer out of reach of children and supervise them if they are using it. Children should not use the hair dryer without adult supervision.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store the hair dryer in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight

Maintenance

Unplug and Cool Down:

• Always start by ensuring that the hair dryer is unplugged from the power source.
• Allow the hair dryer to cool down completely before performing any maintenance.

Cleaning the Air Intake Grille:

• The air intake grille is located at the back of the hair dryer and is crucial for proper airflow.
• Regularly inspect the grille for the accumulation of dust, lint, or debris.
• To clean it, use a soft brush or a cloth to gently wipe away any particles.
• Ensure that the grille is clean and free from obstructions to maintain optimal performance.

Cleaning the Filter:

• The filter is designed to prevent dust and debris from entering the hair dryer’s internal components.
• Depending on the model, the filter may be removable or permanent.
• If removable, carefully remove the filter according to the user manual’s instructions.
• Clean the filter by gently tapping it to dislodge dust and debris, or wash it if it’s washable.
• Allow the filter to dry completely before reattaching it or placing it back into the hair dryer.
• For models with a permanent filter, use a soft brush or compressed air to clean it.

Handle with Care:

• Always handle the hair dryer with care to avoid accidental damage.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Hair Dryer Not Turning On

• Solution:

1. Ensure the hair dryer is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet.
2. Check the power switch on the hair dryer. Make sure it’s in the “On” position.

• Solution:

1. The hair dryer has a built-in safety feature that causes it to shut off if it overheats. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes before using it again.

3. If the unusual noise persists, consider contacting Conair customer support or a professional technician for further inspection.

Problem: Hair Dryer Not Folding Properly

• Solution:

1. Ensure that there are no obstructions or tangled cords preventing the hair dryer from folding. Gently untangle any cords if necessary.
2. Check for any visible damage to the folding mechanism. If there is damage, avoid using the hair dryer, as it may not fold correctly and could pose a safety risk.

Problem: Electrical Issues During International Travel

• Solution:

1. Confirm that you are using the appropriate voltage for the country you are in. The Conair 234SB is often dual voltage, but you may need a plug adapter.
2. If you experience electrical issues while traveling, such as sparks or a burning smell, immediately unplug the dryer and discontinue use. It may not be compatible with the local voltage or may have a malfunction.

Problem: Unusual Odor

• Solution:

1. If you detect an unusual burning smell or other strong odors while using the hair dryer, turn it off immediately and unplug it.
2. Check for visible signs of damage or burning on the hair dryer. If you find any, do not use the dryer again.
3. Contact Conair customer support or a professional technician for inspection and repair.

Problem: Excessive Static in Hair
