Storage, Cord Safety, and Maintenance/Cleaning:

• Ensure the cord is not knotted, twisted, or wrapped around any nearby objects when in use.
• Store the unit in a dry location away from water and other heat sources. Store brush accessories so the bristles are not touching any surfaces to help prevent bristle damage.
• Clean the filter at the bottom of the unit monthly. To clean the filter, first slide the filter cover off the bottom of the unit. Then use a new toothbrush to brush off any dust or debris on the filter. Once the filter is clean, slide the filter cover back on the unit until it clicks in place.
• Remove any hair on the brush accessories after every use to help maintain performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING & ERROR CODES

MAINTENANCE/CLEANING

Reduction in Airflow.

Make sure you are not covering the filter cover with your hand when operating the unit. This will block the air inlet, which could cause a reduction in airflow. A change in airflow or air power, airflow blockages, and/ or visible buildup on the inlet at the bottom of the unit could also indicate your unit needs to be cleaned. To maintain performance, clean the filter at the bottom of the unit every month, using a new toothbrush.

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 cool down using the Cool Shot button during use. Overheating may result if the unit is powered on for a long duration, or can 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.
