FAQ
Q1: Why does the Xiaomi Lint Remover respond to charging but won't turn on when pressing the power button?
A: The Xiaomi Lint Remover has two protection switches installed inside the blade cover and at the junction of the lint collector. If the switch is disconnected, the device will be forced to shut down.
If you find that it cannot be fully charged or cannot be turned on, please reinstall the blade cover and the lint collector first. If the device still cannot be turned on, please contact after-sales service.
Q2: Will the small holes at the bottom of the Xiaomi Lint Remover leak lint?
A: The small hole at the end of the Xiaomi Lint Remover is an exhaust hole. The redesigned hole position not only addresses the issue of lint clogging the air duct, which can affect cutting and suction performance, but also prevents lint from being blown back out through the blade cover due to poor airflow.
The rear vent has an aperture of 0.8 mm, ensuring smooth air discharge while effectively filtering lint to prevent leakage.
Q3: Why is there a slight sticky hair on the outer shell of the Xiaomi Lint Remover?
A: The Xiaomi Lint Remover's outer shell is made of plastic. When it rubs against your sweater, it will generate static electricity, causing the lint to stick slightly. In this case, just wipe it gently with a cloth.
Q4: How to store the Xiaomi Lint Remover?
A: When not in use, please store the Xiaomi Lint Remover in a dry and cool place. The blade net is made of stainless steel. Please be careful not to store them together with sharp and hard objects. When storing it independently, be careful not to cause deformation of the blade due to the accumulation of heavy objects.
Q5: Is it normal for the Xiaomi Lint Remover to have a slight odor when receiving it?
A: It is normal for the new Xiaomi Lint Remover to have a slight odor. It is the odor of the packaging and materials themselves. The packaging contains glue, and the product is assembled from plastic parts and metal electrical components. The odor will evaporate and disappear after a few uses.
Q6: Why does the Xiaomi Lint Remover get stuck during use?
A: The Xiaomi Lint Remover can only remove lint from clothes. It cannot be used to remove items other than lint from clothes. If the device gets stuck or stops working, please turn it off first and then clean it according to the instructions in the User manual.
Q7: Will the Xiaomi Lint Remover damage clothes?
A: The Xiaomi Lint Remover features an optimized blade mesh design, with the mesh thickness increased to 0.35 mm to minimize deformation during use and prevent oversized mesh openings from damaging clothes.
Please follow the instructions when trimming, and avoid areas with thin or easily torn fabrics, protruding parts of garments, spots with adhered foreign objects, areas around buttons or zippers, garment joints or seam ends, as well as any fabric types marked as unsuitable for trimming.
Q8: How to clean the Xiaomi Lint Remover?
A: Before cleaning the Xiaomi Lint Remover, make sure to turn off the device. Following the instructions in the User manual, remove the lint collector, empty the collected lint, and use the cleaning brush to remove any remaining lint. Never remove the lint collector while the device is powered on to avoid lint being blown out.
Next, remove the blade cover and blades (also with the power off), and use the cleaning brush to clean the blade cover, blades, and lint collector. After cleaning, reinstall them. When removing the blades, be careful not to injure yourself on the sharp edges. For optimal performance, empty the lint collector before it becomes more than 80% full.
Q9: Are the blade assemblies of the Xiaomi Lint Remover compatible with other trimmer heads?
