Regular filter maintenance

Clean your filter regularly to maintain powerful airflow and keep your styler performing at its best. We recommend cleaning once a month, or when the white LED flashes continuously.

Step 1

Remove the filter cage by sliding down the power cord and opening at the split line.

Step 2

Use the C-brush or a soft toothbrush to gently clean the filter mesh. Don't use chemicals or water.

Step 3

To clean the filter cage, loosen debris with your brush, then rinse the cage and brush under warm running water.

Step 4

Apply a pea-sized amount of clarifying shampoo to the brush and use it to lightly scrub the filter cage. Rinse for 20 seconds, until all shampoo is removed.

Step 5

Shake filter cage to remove excess water. Gently pinch with a paper towel to squeeze-dry. Hold the filter cage up to the light to check it's clean.

Step 6

Allow the filter cage to fully dry before proceeding. Secure the filter cage back onto the machine.
