Cleaning your filter
To maintain optimal performance of your hair dryer, clean your filter when
prompted by the yellow flashing LED light, or if you feel reduced airflow.
A white light flashes when the filter is absent or not properly fitted.
Unplug your machine from the mains electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning your filter.
Remove the filter cage by sliding down the powercord and opening at the split line.
Slide the two filter pieces away to separate.
Wipe away any loose, large debris such as hair strands or large dust particles, from the filter cage.
Rinse the two filter parts under a warm running tap.
Using a pea-sized amount of clarifying shampoo, lightly scrub the exterior of the inner filter cage in small, circular motions. Then, lightly scrub the interior of the inner filter cage with up and down motions before rinsing.
Hold up to the light to ensure there is no remaining debris or dirt.
Using a pinching motion, gently squeeze dry the inner filter cage with a dry paper towel.
Allow both filters to fully dry before proceeding.
