Scrunch damp (but not wet) hair in your fist, lifting it upwards and allowing the warm air from the diffuser to pass through your fingers.

Fitting the diffuser: see fig. 1. If using the “Volume” diffuser, make sure you work the “fingers” right into the hair as if they were your own fingertips, so that the flow of hot air expelled from them is able to “inflate” the roots effectively, thus increasing the volume of the hair. ATTENTION: when you fit the diffuser onto the hairdryer use only on the lowest heat/speed setting. Filter (only if applicable to this model) The hairdryer is equipped with a removable filter, which prevents dust particles and hair from being sucked in by the fan. The filter can be washed under running water. To remove it, pull the rear grill off. After cleaning the filter, make sure that it is completely dry before placing it again into the hairdryer. Then place the rear grill on the hairdryer.

This hairdryer conforms to the safety regulations regarding electrical appliances. This hairdryer has a safety cut-out which will operate in case of overheating.

Ions are electrically charged particles found in nature. Negatively charged ions help to purify the air by neutralising the positively charged ions that, by contrast, reduce its quality by retaining in the atmosphere many polluting agents. An abundance of negatively charged ions can be found after a thunder storm or at the seaside or in the mountains, close to waterfalls and waterways where the feeling of well-being is due to the increased presence of pure, natural, revitalising air.

Improved hydration of hair

Negatively charged ions help to maintain the proper hydration of your hair In particular, they micronize the water particles present on newlywashed hair, enabling the stem to absorb more in order to restore the natural balance of your hair’s humidity.

COOL setting (only if applicable to this model)

Cool air helps set the style, so always finish with the cool setting for a longer lasting, more effective result.

Conditioning effect on the hair

Improved hydration assists with the conditioning of your hair, has a regenerating effect and makes it softer and easier to comb, with greater volume and shine.

Fit the flat-air styling nozzle onto the hairdryer for added styling control whilst drying. Diffuser o “Volume” Diffuser (if supplied with this model) This accessory helps to volumise hair and adds soft body and texture to naturally curly or permed hair.

No electrostatic charge or “fly away”

Negatively charged ions help to reduce static electricity, the “fly away” effect and unwanted frizzles. 5

The negatively charged ions emitted by the hairdryer ensure that the particles polluting the air (positive or neutral charges) are attracted to each other, become heavy and fall to the ground under the force of gravity, thereby purifying the air. In addition, every time you use the hairdryer you will notice a fresh fragrance: this is the ozone that removes smells and leaves your hair feeling that it has just been washed. Negatively charged ions also eliminate the smell of tobacco smoke and other environmental odours.
