Getting to know your device

The hair dryer is suitable for drying and professional styling of your hair.

The hair dryer can be tailored to your individual needs using the two air blower settings and the three heat settings.

The additional lockable cold air setting adds improved hold to your style.

You can use the narrow professional nozzle to style your hair just the way you want it, and the diffuser attachment lends your hair additional volume.

The protection function creates the right balance between heat and air flow. This ensures the hair is protected against drying out and preserves its dazzling colour.

The built-in ion technology uses negatively charged ions to neutralise hair and, thanks to the 2-level intensity, can be individually adjusted to any hair type. Static charge in the hair is prevented.

The automatic switch-off protects the device against overheating.

The removable filter makes it easier to remove fluff, dust and hair that has been sucked in.

The device is only intended for the purpose described in these instructions for use.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
