Ionic Technology

Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact
with man-made fibres and air pollution, even brushing and towel
drying hair contributes to a build-up of static. As a result hair
becomes dull, “fly-away” and difficult to style.
Ionic technology neutralises the static, smoothing hair and leaving
it looking shiny, conditioned and manageable.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Ensure the hair is towelled dry and combed through to remove
tangles prior to styling.

• Plug the appliance into a suitable mains socket.

• Select the required heat and speed settings.

4

• A LWAYS ensure to keep hair away from the rear filter to prevent it
being sucked into the fan as this may cause the dryer to overheat.

• Use the higher heat / higher speed settings (II/III) for initial drying
and the low heat / low speed settings (I) to finish drying and for
styling.

• To set styled hair with cold air, hold down the COLD button.
Once released, the cold air stops immediately to enable
professional precision control.

• For additional control when styling, attach the concentrator nozzle
and using the low heat / low speed settings (I), direct the airflow
along the surface of the hair to be dried.

• After use, switch off and unplug the appliance. Allow to cool
before storing away.

STYLING TIPS

Add extra body and volume to the hair by directing the airflow
towards the roots and use a brush to hold up each hair section
while drying for maximum lift. For a smooth straight look, divide
the hair into sections and with the concentrator nozzle attached,
use a brush to hold the hair taut as you dry.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

To keep your hairdryer in the best possible condition and
maintain optimum performance, the rear filter should be cleaned
on a regular basis.

• Ensure the appliance is switched off, unplugged and cool.

• To remove the filter, simply turn it gently then lift away from the
dryer. Using a soft brush, clean any hair and debris from the rear
mesh of the dryer and the rear filter itself.

• Replace the rear filter, making sure it clicks into place, before using
the dryer again.

Care of your dryer

• Do not use the dryer at a stretch from the power point. Stretching
the connection between the lead and the dryer can be dangerous.

• Always keep the rear of the dryer away from your hair during use
to prevent hair ingress.

5

• Always unplug after use. Smooth out the lead to remove kinks and
prevent damage.

• Do not wrap the lead around the dryer, instead coil it loosely by
the side.

• Make sure the dryer is used on the correct voltage.
