Follow these steps to set up your Paul Anthony Style Pro 2000W Hair Dryer:

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the hair dryer and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
  2. Power Connection: Ensure your hands are dry before handling the plug. Insert the power cord into a standard electrical outlet (220-240V, 50/60Hz). The cord length is 1.6 meters, providing ample reach.
  3. Attaching the Concentrator Nozzle: If desired, align the narrow concentrator nozzle with the front barrel of the hair dryer. Push it firmly into place until it is securely attached. This attachment can be rotated to direct airflow as needed.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating your Paul Anthony Style Pro 2000W Hair Dryer is straightforward:

  1. Power On/Off: Locate the main power switch on the handle. Slide it to the 'On' position to activate the hair dryer.
  2. Speed Settings: Use the speed control switch to select your desired fan speed. There are 2 settings available:
    • Low Speed: For gentle drying or precise styling.
    • High Speed: For fast drying of thicker or longer hair.
  3. Heat Settings: Adjust the heat control switch to choose from 3 airflow heat settings:
    • Cool: Ideal for setting your hairstyle and adding shine, or for sensitive scalps.
    • Warm: Suitable for general drying and everyday use.
    • Hot: For quick drying and initial styling, especially for damp hair.
  4. Cool Shot Function: Press and hold the blue cool shot button (typically located above the main switches) to instantly deliver a burst of cool air. This feature is excellent for locking in your style and reducing frizz after drying.
  5. Styling with Concentrator Nozzle: For targeted drying and precise styling, ensure the concentrator nozzle is attached. Direct the concentrated airflow to specific sections of hair while brushing or using a styling tool.
  6. Folding Handle (if applicable): If your model features a folding handle, ensure the unit is cool and unplugged before gently folding the handle for compact storage or travel.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your hair dryer:

  1. Cleaning the Air Filter: The rear air filter can accumulate lint and dust, which may affect performance and lead to overheating. To clean:
    • Ensure the hair dryer is unplugged and completely cool.
    • Gently twist or pull off the rear grille/filter cover.
    • Use a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or a dry cloth to remove any accumulated debris from the filter mesh.
    • Reattach the grille/filter cover securely. Perform this cleaning regularly, especially if you notice reduced airflow.
  2. Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surface of the hair dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
  3. Storage: After each use, allow the hair dryer to cool down completely before storing. You can use the integrated hanging loop for convenient storage on a hook. If your model has a folding handle, gently fold it for compact storage in a drawer or travel bag.
