To maintain optimal performance of your Dyson Supersonic r 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. We recommend that stylists build regular filter maintenance into their routine.

Important: Please unplug your machine from the mains electricity supply and allow it to cool down completely for a minimum of 1 hour before cleaning your filter.    

• Remove the filter cage by sliding down the power cord and opening at the split line.
• 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.
• Slide the inner filter back into the cage, then open at the split line and replace back on to the machine to click into place.
