Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the hair dryer and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Power Connection: Ensure your hands are dry, then plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet (120V AC, 60Hz).
4. Attachment (Optional): If using a concentrator nozzle, align it with the front of the dryer and push it firmly into place.

Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off

• To turn the dryer ON, slide the power switch to the desired setting.
• To turn the dryer OFF, slide the power switch to the '0' position.

Adjusting Temperature and Speed

The hair dryer features an infinity control wheel for precise adjustment of both temperature and airflow speed.

• Temperature Control: Rotate the infinity control wheel to increase or decrease the heat level. Lower settings are ideal for fine, fragile, or sensitive hair, while higher settings are suitable for faster drying of thicker hair.
• Speed Control: The same infinity control wheel also adjusts the airflow speed. Rotate it to find the optimal speed for your styling needs.

Using the Cool Shot Button

After drying and styling your hair with heat, press and hold the Cool Shot button to deliver a stream of cool air. This helps to seal the hair cuticle, lock in your style, and add shine. Release the button to return to the previous heat setting.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Air Filter

Regular cleaning of the air filter is essential for optimal performance and to prolong the life of your hair dryer.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the hair dryer from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Remove Filter Cover: Locate the removable rear filter cover. Gently twist or pull to detach it.
3. Clean Filter: Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove any accumulated dust, lint, or hair from the filter screen.
4. Reattach: Once clean, securely reattach the filter cover.

Storage

When not in use, ensure the hair dryer is unplugged and completely cool. Store it in a dry location. The integrated hanging loop allows for convenient storage on a hook, saving space.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Brookstone Powershine Platinum Micro Hair Dryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Dryer does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Insufficient heat or airflow:
  • Check the infinity control wheel to ensure it is set to a higher heat/speed setting.
  • Clean the air intake filter at the rear of the dryer, as a blocked filter can restrict airflow.
• Dryer is excessively noisy:
  • A clogged air filter can cause increased noise. Clean the air intake filter.
  • Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the air vents.
• Hair is still frizzy:
  • Ensure the ionic generator is functioning (though not visibly indicated, it operates automatically).
  • Use the Cool Shot button at the end of your drying routine to help seal the hair cuticle.
  • Consider using a heat protectant or anti-frizz styling product in conjunction with the dryer.
