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 function is associated with a generator that produces

millions of purifying negative ions.

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

In particular, they micronize the water particles present on newly-

washed hair, enabling the stem to absorb more in order to restore

the natural balance of your hair’s humidity.

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.

No electrostatic charge or “fly away”

Negatively charged ions help to reduce static electricity, the “fly

away” effect and unwanted frizzles.

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.

• Turn the unit off when you put it down.

• Unplug the appliance when not in use, but never do it by
