What is ion?

(ion generation method: High-voltage discharge)

Ions are the result of negatively charged oxygen molecules making contact with moisture in the air. Its diameter is smaller than 1/1000 of steam, and it cannot be seen with the naked eye.

How ion works

Generally hair has properties which make it easy to become positively charged with electricity. When ions come into contact with hair, static electricity build up is reduced, and the hair becomes silky and easier to style.

How to use the hair styler

• Wipe excess moisture in the hair with a towel.
• Untangle hair with a brush or comb with your fingers.
• Attach an attachment, and insert the plug into an household outlet.
• If you have long or full hair, it may take some time to dry so we recommend drying the hair with a dryer.

1 Turn on the power switch.

- Select the either the "2" or "1" mode with the power switch.

2 Blow the hair.

3 Turn the power switch OFF, and remove the plug from the household outlet.

• After the hair styler has cooled sufficiently, store in a location with low humidity.

Notes

• Check the hair stylister periodically to ensure continued use (See page 13.)
• If you use the hair styler with a spray product, it may absorb constituents of the spray and suffer a drop in performance. Do not use together with a spray product.

Maintenance of the hair styler

• Make sure to check the air inlet and air outlet at least once every month, performing maintenance as needed. Dust or other foreign debris may build up and block these areas causing a degradation in performance as well as the following issues.
• When the hair styler is blowing hot air, occasionally it may turn off or sparks may be seen. In such cases, dust may have accumulated at the air inlet and/or the air outlet. Also, the air inlet may be being blocked by your hair, hands, etc. (This phenomenon is the result of the hair styler's thermal switch. It is a protective device. The sparks do not pose a danger in and/or themselves.) Slide the power switch to the "0" position and remove the dust if dust has accumulated, or if air inlet was blocked by your hair or hand, cool down the hair styler for approximately 5 minutes before using it again.
  • Make sure to turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the plug from the household outlet. (Except when performing maintenance on the air outlet)
