MAINTENANCE A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS FOR ITS MAINTENANCE : The dryer must be kept clean for proper operating performance. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, allow to cool and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface of the dryer should be wiped clean with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the dryer to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the dryer or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If the unit or the heat cycles off, turn the dryer off, unplug the cord, and allow the dryer to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting. Make sure air vents are clean, by following the steps below. 1. Remove intake filter from back of dryer by twisting counterclockwise. 2. Reach through opening, and press the mesh screen to release it from the filter (Fig. 1). 3. Visually inspect the filter to make sure no hair is caught (Fig.2). Rinse the mesh screen ONLY under running water to clear any debris. Repeat as needed, or use a stiff bristle brush for any difficult buildup. 4. Make sure the mesh screen is free from any debris and completely dry. Place screen into bottom part of removable intake filter (Fig. 3). 5. Press with your finger around the edge of the screen to lock mesh screen in place (Fig. 4). #ILOVEMYHAIRDRYER GNIYRD WOLB / EGAHCÉS
