Operating Instructions

The BaByliss Beliss AS960E Hot Air Styler offers versatile styling options. Follow these steps for optimal results:

1. Preparation: Ensure your hair is towel-dried and slightly damp. The styler works best on hair that is not soaking wet.
2. Select Settings: Turn on the styler and select your desired temperature and airflow settings using the controls on the handle. The styler typically has 2 heat settings and a cool shot setting.
3. Using the Drying Nozzle:

   Attach the drying nozzle to quickly remove excess moisture from your hair before styling with other attachments. Direct the airflow towards sections of your hair, moving the styler continuously.
4. Using the 50mm Volumising Thermal Brush:

   This brush is ideal for adding volume and shine. Section your hair and place the brush underneath a section, close to the roots. Activate the rotating function (if desired) and slowly glide the brush through your hair, rotating it outwards for volume or inwards for a smooth finish. The multi-directional spinning brush allows you to switch rotation direction easily.

5. Using the 20mm Soft Bristle Brush:

   Use this smaller brush for shaping, creating tighter curls, or adding definition to shorter layers. Wrap a section of hair around the brush and hold for a few seconds before releasing. Note: This brush typically does not rotate.

6. Using the Straightening Attachment:

   For sleek, straight styles, attach the straightening nozzle. Take small sections of hair and slowly glide the attachment from roots to ends. The airflow and comb-like design help to smooth the hair cuticle.
7. Cool Setting: Once styling is complete, use the cool setting to set your style and add lasting hold.
8. Finish: Turn off the styler and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow the styler and attachments to cool down completely before storing.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will extend the life of your BaByliss Beliss Hot Air Styler.

1. Unplug and Cool Down: Always ensure the styler is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
2. Clean Attachments: Remove any hair tangled in the brushes using a comb or your fingers. Wipe the attachments with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
3. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the main styler unit with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure no water enters the internal components.
4. Air Filter: Periodically check and clean the rear air filter to prevent lint and dust buildup, which can affect performance. Gently remove any debris.
