Safety Instructions

⚠️ RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Connect the hair dryer only to a properly installed mains socket matching the rating plate's voltage.
• Never submerge the hair dryer in fluids or allow fluids to enter the housing. Do not expose to humidity or use outdoors. If liquid enters the housing, immediately disconnect from the power source and arrange for repair by a qualified technician.
• Disconnect from the mains socket if the appliance malfunctions or before cleaning.
• Always pull the plug, not the power cable, to disconnect.
• Do not wrap the power cable around the appliance; protect it from damage.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service department, or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazards.
• Do not kink, crush, or lay the power cable where people can step on or trip over it.
• Do not use extension cables.
• Disconnect the hair dryer from the power source immediately after use. The appliance is only completely free of electrical power when unplugged.
• Do not open or repair the housing yourself. Doing so voids the warranty and compromises safety. Have repairs done only by qualified specialists.
• Never touch the hair dryer, cable, or plug with wet hands.
• When using in a bathroom, disconnect the plug after use due to the proximity of water, even when switched off.
• Never use the appliance near water, especially sinks, baths, or similar vessels. Water proximity is hazardous even when the appliance is off. Always unplug after each use. For added protection in bathrooms, consider a residual-current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Consult an electrician.

⚠️ WARNING! RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!

• This appliance may be used by children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience/knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed on safe use and understand the associated hazards.
• Children must not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children unless supervised.
• Never place the hair dryer down or leave it unattended while switched on.
• Never place the hair dryer near heat sources and protect the power cable from damage.
• Do not cover the air intake grill during operation. Clean it regularly.
• The hair dryer gets hot during use. Hold it only by the grip when hot.
• If the hair dryer has fallen or is damaged, do not use it. Have it checked and repaired by qualified technicians.
• Do not place the hair dryer near heat sources and protect the power cable from damage.
• Do not cover the air intake grill during operation. Clean it regularly.

Operation

Heat and Blower Levels

NOTICE: Before first use, run the hair dryer at the highest blower and heat levels for 2-3 minutes to remove any production residues.

1. Plug the appliance into a power socket.
2. Switch on the hair dryer using the blower level switch (3). The hair dryer has two function switches to separately select airflow strength (3) and heat level (4).

Blower Levels:

• 0: Hair dryer is switched off
• [Low Airflow Symbol]: Reduced air flow
• [High Airflow Symbol]: Full power air flow

Heat Levels:

• [Low Heat Symbol]: Low heating level
• [Medium Heat Symbol]: Medium heat level
• [High Heat Symbol]: High heating level

3. After use, switch the appliance off by setting the blower level switch (3) to "0". Then, unplug the appliance from the wall socket.

Cool Shot Function

Use the cooling level button (5) to produce a cool air flow. This works with low and high airflows, and medium and high heat levels. The low heat setting has no heating function. Press and hold the cooling level button (5) to create a cold air stream. Release the button when no longer needed.

Ionisation Function

Drying hair can cause static charge, making hair "fly-away". The ionisation function neutralizes this static charge, leaving hair soft, supple, shiny, and easier to style. For optimal ionisation, use the hair dryer without attachments (diffuser 6, wide nozzle 7, narrow nozzle 8), as attachments can interfere with ion application.

Fitting/Removing Attachments

To fit an attachment (wide styling nozzle 7, narrow styling nozzle 8, volume diffuser 6), push it onto the front of the hair dryer with slight pressure until it snaps into place. Always wait for an attachment to cool down before removing it. Pull the cooled attachment downwards with a firm motion.

Drying and Styling Hair

• For quick drying, start with high airflow and heat for a short period, then switch to lower settings to shape the hairstyle.
• The wide styling nozzle (7) allows for fast drying of specific hair sections due to concentrated airflow.
• The narrow styling nozzle (8) is ideal for precise styling and shaping. Its side openings slightly reduce airflow for better control.
• Use the volume diffuser (6) for natural curls/waves or to add volume. For curls, tilt head down and place hair loosely on the diffuser; move the dryer back and forth. Allow hair to cool slightly before combing to maintain the style. For volume at the hairline, use the medium heat level, hold head upright, and move the diffuser gently across the scalp.
• Use the "Cool Shot function" to cool hair.

Cleaning

⚠️ RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never immerse in water or other liquids. Ensure the hair dryer is completely dry before reuse.

⚠️ WARNING! RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY: Allow the appliance to cool sufficiently before cleaning.

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE: Do not use aggressive cleaning liquids or solvents, as they can damage the surface.

Cleaning the Housing

Use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild soapy water to clean the housing and attachments.

Cleaning the Air Suction Grill

⚠️ WARNING! RISK OF FIRE: Regularly clean the air intake grill (1) with a soft brush.

1. Turn the air intake grill (1) slightly counter-clockwise to remove it.
2. Clean the openings of the air intake grill (1) with a soft brush.
3. Reattach the air intake grill (1) by aligning the tabs with the recesses and turning it clockwise until it clicks securely into place.

Storage

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE: Pack and transport the hair dryer only after it has cooled down. Clean the hair dryer as described in the "Cleaning" section. For storage, hang the dryer by the suspension loop (2). Store in a dry, dust-free location.
