Cleaning the appliance

To clean the Main body of the appliance, use a dry cloth. Ensure that the narrow opening is free of obstructions.

Do not use detergents or polishes.

The level of sound from your appliance will vary depending on the airflow selected. To decrease the airflow, press the 'Airflow control' button until you have 1 white LED light.

Regular filter maintenance

Clean your filter regularly to maintain powerful airflow and keep your hair dryer performing at its best. We recommend cleaning twice a week, or when the LED flashes continuously.

Step 1

Unplug your machine from the mains electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning your filter. Remove the filter cage by sliding down the power cord and opening at the split line.

Step 4

To clean the filter cage, wipe away debris and gently tap to remove lodged dirt.

Step 5

Step 6

Apply a pea-sized amount of clarifying shampoo to your finger and lightly scrub the filter fabric. Rinse for 20 seconds, until all shampoo is removed.

Step 7

Gently pinch the filter fabric dry using a paper towel.

Step 8

Allow to air-dry thoroughly before re-joining the filter parts and clipping them back on the machine.
