Important Safety Instructions

General Precautions

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Use the appliance only for its intended purpose. Misuse is considered inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages from inappropriate use.
• The appliance is not suitable for use in explosive environments (e.g., presence of flammable substances like gas, vapour, aerosol, mist, or dust) or where oxygen is administered. Do not place items containing these substances in the appliance or use them for cleaning.
• Keep packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene) out of reach of children or disabled persons.
• Installation/assembly should follow manufacturer's indications. Incorrect procedures may cause damage or injury.
• For additional protection, installing a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current not exceeding 30 mA in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom is advisable. Consult your installer.
• Place and use the appliance on a horizontal and stable surface.
• Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. Contact a qualified person if unsure. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a qualified technician to avoid electric shock.
• Ensure the power rating (voltage and frequency) of the appliance matches your electrical grid and socket, and that the wall socket is properly grounded.
• Do not power the appliance using multiple sockets. Avoid adapters and extension cables; if necessary, use only compliant materials.
• Do not switch on the appliance using external timers or remote control appliances not specified in this manual.
• Only use original components and accessories provided by the manufacturer. Non-original parts may cause injury or damage.

Usage Restrictions (DO NOT)

• Do not use while tired or sleepy.
• Do not cover or block the Air Inlet during operation or place it on soft surfaces (bed, couch) where the inlet might be blocked.
• Keep hands, hair, clothing, curtains, and other objects away from the appliance's motor and accessories during operation to prevent injury or damage.
• Do not drop or insert any object into any opening or hose, or insert metal objects into air grilles to avoid electric shock.
• Do not use the appliance if blades are bent, chipped, cracked, or broken.
• Do not tamper with the appliance's components; it contains no user-serviceable parts.

• Attachments (Concentrator, Air Inlet Cover) may be hot during use; allow them to cool before handling.
• Do not use the appliance on artificial hair.
• Do not wind the power cable around the appliance.
• Do not operate for more than 5 minutes without interruption. Allow the appliance to rest for 10 minutes between cycles. After 3 cycles, allow a 15-minute interval for cooling to prolong service life. Do not allow the product to idle while in operation.

• Do not leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

Specific Usage Warnings

• Do not use this appliance while bathing or showering. Keep it away from bathtubs, showers, toilets, basins, or other vessels containing water. Unplug the appliance after use in a bathroom due to the risk posed by water proximity.
• Do not operate if the plug or power cable is damaged, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped, especially into water. Return it to a service center for examination and repair.
• Do not direct hot air toward any person or animal, especially the eyes or other heat-sensitive areas, to prevent burns or scalding. Note: Human hair dryers can harm pets due to their thinner skin. Use pet-specific dryers for animals.

Plug and Unplug Safety

• Turn the ON/OFF & Speed Switch to '0' (OFF) before plugging or unplugging.
• Plug and unplug the power cable using dry hands, holding it firmly.
• Always unplug the power cable to avoid overheating and prevent stretching (do not pull, tug, or drag the appliance by the cable).

Operation and Placement

• Do not touch the appliance with wet body parts during operation. It is recommended to use an isolating element (e.g., rubber-soled shoes) between you and the standing surface.
• Do not soak the Motor unit in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let liquid flow into the internal casing to prevent electric shock. In case of accidental fall in water, unplug the power cable immediately without trying to retrieve the appliance.
• Place the appliance at a proper distance from other objects or surrounding walls to prevent accidental damage during operation.
• Do not place the appliance on surfaces or near objects that can be damaged by heat (e.g., carpets, plastics) during or immediately after operation.
• Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be easily damaged.

Maintenance and Storage

• Always unplug the power cable if the appliance is not used for a long period, before changing accessories, storing, cleaning, or performing maintenance.
• Avoid carrying out operations not specified in this manual, such as disassembling or altering the appliance.
• In case of malfunction or anomaly, switch off the appliance immediately, turn off the power, and check the cause, if possible, with the support of a qualified person.

How to Use

Before use, clean the Motor unit and accessories. Refer to the 'How to Clean and Maintain' section.

Drying Basics

1. Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture. Blot the hair rather than rub to avoid frizz and split ends.
2. Comb through and detangle the hair with a wide-toothed comb.
3. Ensure hands are dry. Turn the ON/OFF & Speed Switch to '0' (OFF), plug in the power cable, and switch it on by selecting the desired heat setting.

5. Direct the appliance at the hair, not the scalp. Begin by blowing all over the hair to remove excess water using Position 3 (Full Power & High Temperature).
6. When hair is mostly dry, section it and begin to style using Position 2 (Half Power & High Temperature) or Position 1 (Full Power & Low Temperature). Start at the nape of the neck, brushing hair while moving the appliance. Work up to the scalp, sides, and front until the entire head is dry and styled.

Concentrator

The removable Concentrator nozzle allows for styling accuracy and control, creating a more focused and powerful airflow. Point the concentrator at a 90° angle to the section being dried, brushing under it from roots to ends. Keep the Concentrator pointed downward and never let it touch the hair.

If the hair dryer stops working for any reason, turn it off immediately and let it cool down.

Heating Button

When the Heating Button is pressed and quickly released, hotter air is blown out. When the Heating Button is depressed, this extra heating is discontinued.

Safety Protection

If the appliance overheats, the thermal switch will activate, shutting off the motor. Turn the ON/OFF & Speed Switch to '0' (OFF), switch the product off, and unplug the power cable from the mains. Allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes before using it again.

How to Clean and Maintain

1. Turn the ON/OFF & Speed Switch to '0' (OFF). Switch the product off and unplug the power cable from the electric mains.
2. Clean the Motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the Motor unit in water or other liquids, and avoid spraying water to prevent damage or leakage. If the appliance is sticky or dirty, clean it with a damp cloth moistened with detergent and gently rub the surface. Dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use a steel wire sponge, abrasive cleaners, corrosive liquids (like gasoline or acetone), or boiling water for cleaning.
3. Ensure the product is clean, dry, and stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.
4. Keep the Air Inlet free of lint, hair, etc., as build-up can reduce power and cause sparks if lint/hair singes. Detach the Air Inlet Cover by rotating it anti-clockwise, remove any lint or hair from both the inlet and cover, and replace the cover by rotating it clockwise.
