• 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. To help prevent bristle damage, store the unit so the bristles are not touching any surfaces. Ensure the heated smoothing combs have completely cooled before storing the unit.
• Clean the inlet air filter at the bottom of the unit monthly. To clean the filter, make sure the unit is off and unplugged, then use a new toothbrush to brush off any dust or debris on the filter.
• To help maintain performance, remove any hair from the brush after every use.

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, a new clean and dry toothbrush can be used and stored for cleaning the filter at the bottom of the unit every month.
