6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your Phoenix Maestro Dog Dryer:

1. Prepare Pet: Ensure your pet is clean and towel-dried as much as possible before using the dryer.
2. Power On: Flip the main power switch to the 'ON' position.
3. Adjust Airflow: Rotate the variable speed/airflow dial to your desired intensity. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase as needed.

5. Drying Technique: Hold the nozzle a safe distance from your pet's skin and move it continuously to avoid concentrating heat in one area. Use the appropriate nozzle for different coat types and areas.

7. Power Off: Once drying is complete, turn the temperature switch to 'OFF', then turn the main power switch to 'OFF', and finally unplug the unit from the power outlet.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your dryer:

• Cleaning Filters: Periodically check and clean the air intake filters located at the rear of the unit. Remove any accumulated hair or debris to maintain optimal airflow and prevent overheating.
• Wipe Down: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the dryer. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hose and Nozzles: Clean the hose and nozzles as needed. Ensure they are dry before storage.
• Storage: Store the dryer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Coil the hose neatly to prevent kinks.
