Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the power button located on the handle to turn the dryer on or off.

- Cool Shot: Press and hold the cool shot button (indicated by a snowflake icon) to deliver a burst of cool air to set your style. Release the button to return to the previous heat setting.
- Drying Hair:
- For rough drying, use the wide concentrator and a higher speed/heat setting.

- For diffusing, attach a diffuser (sold separately) and use a low heat/speed setting to enhance natural curls and waves.
- Styling Tips:
- Always rough dry hair until it is about 80% dry before beginning detailed styling.
- For smooth, straight styles, use a flat brush and direct the airflow from roots to ends.
- For volume, lift sections of hair at the roots with a round brush and direct heat there.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; internal circuit breaker tripped. | Ensure plug is fully inserted. Test outlet with another appliance. Check household circuit breaker. |
| Weak airflow or overheating. | Blocked air filter; blocked air intake/outlet. | Unplug and clean the rear air filter. Ensure air inlets and outlets are clear of obstructions. |
