1. Power On: Slide the ON/OFF/Speed switch to your desired setting:
   • LOW: For gentle drying and styling.
   • HIGH: For fast drying.
2. Drying: Direct the airflow towards your hair, moving the dryer continuously to prevent concentrating heat in one area.

4. Power Off: Once finished, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
5. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance immediately after use.
6. Cool Down: Allow the dryer to cool completely before storing.

Folding Handle for Storage:

To fold the handle for compact storage, ensure the dryer is unplugged and cool. Gently push the handle towards the barrel until it locks into the folded position. To unfold, pull the handle away from the barrel until it clicks into place.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your dryer.

• Cleaning the Air Filter: The rear filter screen should be cleaned regularly to prevent lint and hair buildup, which can restrict airflow and cause overheating.
  1. Ensure the dryer is unplugged and cool.
  2. Gently twist or pull off the rear filter cover (if removable).
  3. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulated lint or hair.
  4. Replace the filter cover securely.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the dryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the dryer in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can cause premature wear and breakage. Hang it by the hanging loop if available.
