Installation and Setup
The Valera Action Super Plus hair dryer is designed for wall-mounted installation. Professional installation is recommended, especially for electrical connections.
Mounting the Wall Holder
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location in your bathroom or desired area, ensuring it is away from water sources and within reach of a power outlet. Consider the dimensions for optimal placement.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the wall holder as a template to mark the drilling points on the wall. Ensure the holder is level.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert appropriate wall plugs (fischer, if provided) suitable for your wall type.
- Secure Holder: Attach the wall holder to the wall using the provided screws (with flat heads and washers, if provided). Ensure it is firmly secured.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your Valera Action Super Plus hair dryer:
- Power On: Remove the hair dryer from its wall mount. The safety switch in the mount will activate the appliance. If an external bipolar switch was installed, ensure it is in the "ON" position.
- Activate Airflow: Press and hold the security On/Off button (usually a gray button) on the handle to start the airflow. The hair dryer will operate only while this button is pressed. This is a safety feature to prevent accidental continuous operation.
- Adjust Airflow Speed: Use the airflow speed switch (2 positions) to select your desired air intensity.
- Adjust Temperature: Use the temperature switch (3 positions) to select your desired heat level. One of these positions is a "Cool" setting for styling and setting hair.
- Drying Hair: Direct the airflow towards your hair, maintaining a safe distance to avoid burns.
- Power Off: Release the security On/Off button to stop the airflow. Return the hair dryer to its wall mount. The safety switch in the mount will ensure the appliance is fully off.

- Air Inlet Filter: Periodically check the air inlet filter at the back of the hair dryer for dust and lint accumulation. Clean it gently with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating.
