The IONIC function
The IONIC function facilitates gentle, easy hair
styling by preventing a static charge in the hair.
It uses the build-up of a negative 'ion-cloud' to
prevent 'flyaway' hair caused by a positive
charge. The Ionic function can be enabled by
moving the slide switch to the left and is shown
by the red indicator light.
Styling nozzle
The styling nozzle can be attached to the air
outlet grille. Its concentrated air-stream
facilitates the exact shaping of the hair.
Volume diffusor
The volume diffusor is also fitted to the air
outlet.
The volume diffusor is used to maintain the
volume of the hair. Move the diffusor with a
slightly circular motion over the head.
Air-flow and temperature controls
By using different combinations of the air-flow
and temperature controls, various settings are
possible when drying the hair.
The air-flow control regulates the air-flow
intensity, while the temperature control
regulates the heat of the air-flow.
With the air-flow control set to the '0'-position,
the hair-dryer is switched off.
Cool function
The cool function can be used at any time
during the drying process. It will supply cooler
air, which helps firming and shaping the hair.
Operation
Connect the hair dryer to a suitable wall socket
and select the desired power setting with the
switches integrated in the handle.
