Frequently Asked Questions - GT-HDi-09-UK Visage

Unplug the dryer and remove the rear filter cover. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any dust or lint. Replace the cover before use.

• Always switch the hairdryer off when you put it down. It should always be allowed to cool down on a solid and heat-resistant surface.
• After use, the hairdryer will be hot for a while. Let the hairdryer cool off sufficiently before changing the adapter, cleaning it or storing it.
• Do not apply hair spray when the hairdryer is switched on. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Do not allow the hairdryer to operate when unattended. Do not leave it unattended while it is cooling down.

NOTE!

• Do not cover the air filter during use. The air filter must be cleaned from time to time. Otherwise, the integrated overheat protection may switch the hairdryer off. You can find more related information in the chapter “Overheat protection”.
• Do not use the hairdryer for wigs or hairpieces made of synthetic materials.
• Do not point the hot air stream towards animals, plants or objects.

Checking the hairdryer and product contents

NOTE!

Risk of damage!

The hairdryer can easily become damaged if you open the packaging carelessly with a sharp knife or other pointed objects.

- Be very careful when opening it.

1. Take the hairdryer out of the packaging.
2. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (see fig. A).
3. Check whether the hairdryer or the individual parts show visible damage. If this is the case, do not use the hairdryer. Contact the manufacturer at the service address specified on the warranty card.

How the ion effect works

Molecules contained in the air drawn into the device are negatively charged (ionised) in the hairdryer and are transported onto your hair along with the “hot air”.

Negative ions break down water droplets in your hair into smaller drops so that they evaporate faster.

Use

The advantage: Your hair...

• becomes smoother, softer and more supple.
• regains its shine.
  • is easier to brush and style.
  • is less prone to matting, breaking and knotting.
  • is better protected against UV rays.

The absorption of moisture also:

• revitalises the structure of your hair and
- reduces the accumulation of static charge.

Three grayscale diagrams showing a sphere resting on a vertical pipe, with no text or symbols present.

The negative ions in the hot air come into contact with the water droplets in your hair.

The negative charge of the ions breaks the hydrogen bonds in the water drops so that the water breaks down into smaller units.

"Dry" hair has a rough, scaly surface.

Only this fine moisture can penetrate your hair, and smooth and seal the surface.

Use

Styling nozzle

• The enclosed styling nozzle 3 lets you use the air stream for styling. The styling nozzle can be rotated to any position.
• You can also use the hairdryer without the styling nozzle.

Attaching the styling nozzle and switching on the hairdryer

A slight odour may be produced during first use. This is no cause for concern. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation, e.g. by opening a window.

1. Push the styling nozzle 3 onto the air outlet until it locks into place (see fig. B).

2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed socket.

In the process, make sure that the hairdryer is switched off.

1. Use the fan speed switch 4 and the heat setting switch 5 to set the desired speed or setting.

Both switches have three different settings, which offer the following possibilities:

Fan speed switch Heat setting switch Function
0 + any = OFF
*	+	\	=	low air stream + cold air setting
♣	+	\	=	high air stream + cold air setting
*	+	sss	=	low air stream + low heat setting
♣	+	sss	=	high air stream + low heat setting
*	+	\( }\)	=	low air stream + high heat setting
♣	+	}\)	=	high air stream + high heat setting

• For fast drying, it is recommended that you set the hairdryer to a higher heat setting for the first few minutes. To do so, set the heat setting switch to position .... Then switch down to the lower setting and style your hair as desired.
• Use the cold air function to firm up curls or waves by pushing the cool shot button 6 for a burst of cool air.

The air blown out of the hairdryer will be lukewarm, and so it is not entirely cold.

• You can push the cool shot button at the low or high fan heater setting.
• Hold the cool shot button down during use.
• The enclosed styling nozzle lets you use the air stream for styling. In the process, you can turn the styling nozzle to any position.
• Before you comb out your hair, let it cool off first so that your hair style is able to set.
