Operating Instructions

This section details how to use your hair dryer effectively.

Power and Speed Settings

The Power/Speed Switch (typically labeled 0, 1, 2, 3) controls the fan speed and turns the unit on or off.

• 0 (OFF): Turns the hair dryer off.

• 2 (MEDIUM): Offers moderate airflow for regular drying.
• 3 (TURBO): Delivers maximum airflow for fast drying.

To turn on the dryer, slide the switch to your desired speed setting (1, 2, or 3). To turn off, slide the switch back to 0.

Temperature Settings

The Temperature Switch allows you to select the heat level.

• COOL: Provides cool air, ideal for setting hairstyles and reducing heat damage.
• WARM: Delivers warm air for general drying.
• HOT: Provides hot air for quick drying and styling.

Select the temperature setting appropriate for your hair type and styling needs.

Drying Techniques

• For general drying, use a medium speed and warm temperature.
• For faster drying, use the TURBO speed with a hot temperature.
• To set a style, finish with the COOL setting to close the hair cuticles and add shine.
• Keep the dryer moving constantly to prevent concentrating heat in one area.

Ionity Function

The Ionity function releases negative ions during operation. These ions help to neutralize static electricity in your hair, reducing frizz and leaving your hair smoother and shinier. The Ionity function operates automatically when the dryer is turned on.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Unplug: Always unplug the hair dryer from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
3. Clean Air Inlet: Periodically check the air inlet filter at the back of the dryer for accumulated dust and lint. Gently remove any debris using a soft brush or a dry cloth. Ensure the filter is clear to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating.
4. Storage: When not in use, store the hair dryer in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. You can use the hanging loop for convenient storage.
