5. Operating Instructions

Before operating, ensure your hair is towel-dried to remove excess water.

1. Power On: Plug the hair dryer into an electrical outlet. Use the main power switch (often red) to turn the appliance on.
2. Adjust Settings:
   • Temperature: Use the temperature control switch (often integrated with the power switch or a separate button) to select your desired heat level (e.g., cool, warm, hot).
   • Speed: Use the speed control switch (often black) to adjust the airflow intensity (e.g., low, medium, high).
3. Drying: Hold the hair dryer approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) away from your hair. Move the dryer continuously to prevent overheating any single section of hair.
4. Using Concentrator Nozzles: For precise styling or straightening, attach a concentrator nozzle. Direct the airflow down the hair shaft from roots to ends.
