USEFUL ADVICE

• The experience you will soon acquire in using your air styler will help you determine how long your hair will take to achieve the desired effect.
• Every time you use the appliance, make sure the hair is clean and without any trace of hairspray, hair mousse or gel.
  • Always start from the nape of the neck, proceed on the sides and finish on the forehead.
• When using the stylist or while it is heating or cooling, place the appliance on a smooth and heat resistant surface.
• When creating the hairstyle, be careful not to bring the air stylister close to sensitive parts of the face, ears, neck or skin.
  • After use, allow the air styler to cool down completely before putting it away.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

PREPARING THE HAIR

• Wash hair as normal and comb removing knots.
• Dry the hair and brush from the roots to the ends.

OPERATION

This styler works with air, which means it works according to the same principle of a common hair dryer: the hot air comes out from the main body and passes through the holes of the accessories. When using the styler or while it is heating or cooling, place the appliance on a smooth and heat resistant surface.

Choose the relevant accessory according to the style you desire.

Connect the air styler to the mains.

ACCESSORIES

Concentrator (6): use this accessory immediately after washing your hair to remove excess moisture.

Curling tong (7): use this accessory to create tight curls.

• Take a thin lock of hair between your fingers; the thinner the lock, the tighter the curls.
- Act on the lever of the clamp and insert the tip of hair between the cylinder and the clamp itself.
- Release the clamp and wrap the strand around the tong.
- Switch the air styler ON.
- Wait for the lock to dry as desired before removing it from the tong by releasing the clamp.
- Finish off the style of the curl with your hands.

Round brush (8-9-11-12)

Use this accessory to create soft waves and curls.

• Take a thin lock of hair between your fingers, the same width as the brush.
- Wrap the lock of hair around the brush no more than twice.
- Set the air styler at the maximum temperature.
- Wait for the lock to dry as desired before releasing it from the brush.

Rectangular brush (10)

• Use this accessory to add volume and body to hair and revitalise your hair style
• Switch the air stylister on
• Use the accessory as a regular bristle brush

Set the air flow and temperature to the following levels with the (2) button:

$$ 0 = \text { O F F } $$

1= Medium air flow and Medium temperature
2= High air flow and high temperature

Cold air shot button (13)

If the appliance has this button, use it to set the hairstyle.

• If this button is pressed and pushed forward while the appliance is on, the hot air cools down and the set style lasts longer.
• Press the button and push it backward for the appliance to return to a hot air flow at the selected level.

STORAGE

When the air styler is not used, unplug the appliance from the socket and store it in a dry and dust-free place.

Do not wind the power cord around the appliance. Coil it up loosely without bending it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT! Switch the appliance off and unplug it from the socket before cleaning! Make sure all cleaned parts are completely dry before reusing the appliance!

Cleaning the appliance and accessories

Clean the appliance and the accessories with a damp cloth, when necessary. Do not use solvents or other aggressive or abrasive detergents. Otherwise, the surface could be damaged. Check the intake opening of the appliance regularly and remove all hair and dust.

Note: the more dust is present in the place where the hair dryer is used, the more often the filter duct must be cleaned.

DISPOSAL

Pursuant to Art. 26 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 49 of 14 March 2014 “Implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)” the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.

The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment.

Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the appliance can be handed over to the retailer when a new, equivalent appliance is purchased.

Retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 can also be handed electronic products that are to be disposed of measuring less than 25 cm, free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists.

ASSISTANCE AND WARRANTY

To request repairs or purchase spare parts, please contact IMETEC's authorised customer service centre on the Number below or via the website.

The appliance is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. For details, read the attached warranty sheet.

Failure to comply with the instructions for use and maintenance provided in this manual will render the manufacturer's warranty null and void.
