WARNING: This symbol on the hair dryer means “Do not use this

hair dryer near water”. Do not use this hair dryer near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.

1. Always switch off the hair dryer (“0” position) after use and before

unplugging it from the power socket. Unplug it from the power socket when not in use. Always grasp the plug while unplugging. Failure to do so may lead to fire and/or an accident.

2. Before connecting the hair dryer, check that the voltage of the hair

dryer corresponds to the local voltage.

3. Do not cut, damage, or modify the cord. Do not pull, twist, or bend

the cord with unnecessary force. Do not place heavy objects on the cord or allow it to get pinched in between objects. Do not wrap the cord around the hair dryer as it may cause fire and/or electric shock. If the cord is damaged or becomes hot, stop using it immediately.

4. When the hair dryer is used in a shower room, unplug it after use

since the proximity of water presents a hazard even when the hair dryer is switched off.

5. For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device

(RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice. Using The Hair dryer

How to use the hair dryer A. Temperature Selector : Cool (Cool air) : Healthy (Warm air) : Hot (Hot air) English Parts Identification B. Main Switch 0: Off 1: Set (Gentle airflow) 2: Dry (Strong airflow) Notes

1. Negative ions are produced when the main switch is set to

2. Negative ions are invisible to the naked eye.

3. When negative ions continue to strike hair, hair becomes

negatively charged. As a result, the negative ions and negatively charged hair repel each other, making it difficult for negative ions to reach hair. With the Ion Charge System, by just gripping the panel together with the handle, the negative charge accumulated on hair is released. Because of this, negative ions continue to penetrate into hair, supplying moisture and thoroughly moistening down to the tips of hair. EH5264

4. If you are worried about hair damage, set the switch to “

Healthy (Warm air)” and “1: Set (Gentle airflow)” before use.

5. If you want to dry your hair quickly, set the healthy quick drying

nozzle in the direction shown in the illustration.

6. For people who want (hair with) volume: Apply your brush to

your scalp, and turn and move the diffuser around as if drawing large circles.

7. If you want to style your hair, brush your hair from the top of

your head to the ends of your hair with the brush on the diffuser.

8. When using the diffuser, make sure that an appropriate

temperature and airflow are selected before use. Panasonic Ionic Technology The Panasonic Hair Dryer uses negative ions to reduce the heat damage when drying hair. Negative ions reduce the build-up of static electricity and help to keep your hair in excellent condition by allowing moisture to penetrate deep into hair and then locking it in. Notes - The effects of ions might not be felt by the following

2007/10/24 20:10:46 English people. People with crimpy hair, strong curly hair, very smooth hair, short hair, or who have had a hair straightening perm in the last three or four months. Repair and Maintenance of the Hair dryer

1. Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the hair dryer

2. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

3. If the cord or plug is damaged, stop using it immediately and

contact an authorized Panasonic service center.

4. If air frequently becomes cold and sparks are sometimes seen

when the hair dryer is blowing hot air, dust has accumulated at the air inlet and/or the air outlet or the air inlet is being blocked by your hair or your hands. (This phenomenon is the result of the hair dryer’s thermal switch. The sparks do not pose a danger in and/or themselves.) Slide the main switch to the “off” position and remove any dust that has accumulated.

5. If sparks occur inside the negative ion outlets, the electrodes

have become dirty resulting in abnormal discharge. If this happens, clean the inside of the negative ion outlets. Cleaning method Clean only after turning off the power and removing the power cord from the power outlet. Use a cotton swab to lightly rub (about 5 times) the center of the part that is inside of the negative ion outlets. We recommend the thin cotton swabs made for use with babies. Although regular cotton swabs will work, they may be hard to insert into the outlets.
