REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
FILTERS:
(Procedures below must be performed regularly or as needed to protect dryer
warranty status.)
FILTER CLEANING:
The external filters of the CHALLENGAIR 560 Cage Dryer should be kept
clean. If the filters become heavily coated with hair and/or dirt, it will reduce the
air output of your dryer and can cause damage to the motors or cause the
motors to overheat.
*Never operate the dryer without all filters in place.
To clean filter:
1. Detach filters from both sides of dryer.
2. Filters are attached with hook and loop fasteners; pull to detach.
3. Vacuum or shake off dirt. Filters may also be rinsed with cool
water if necessary. Let the filter dry completely before reinstalling
on dryer.
4. Re-attach filters to dryer by pressing gently in the center of the
filter.
Cleaning Dryer Interior:
Hair and dust will accumulate inside the dryer. Please blow clean as needed
using a Challengair forced air dryer or suitable high-pressure air outlet.
