OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The RAPIDO dryer is equipped with a Ferrari designed engine, featuring MaxLife™ PRO
brushless technology. Conventional styling tool motors require carbon brushes to operate.
Friction eventually wears them down and the motor fails. MaxLife™ PRO technology
eliminates the brushes, producing a lighter weight motor that lasts longer – up to 10,000
hours. Rare-earth magnets create an efficient and long-lasting power source within the
engine. Sealed ball bearings reduce vibration and help extend the life of the engine.

1. Shampoo and condition hair. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-blot hair to remove excess
moisture. Section hair. Using the dryer along with a styling brush, direct hot air through
a section of hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air
passes through hair. Direct airflow at hair, not scalp.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid over-drying and possible damage to hair or skin, do not concentrate heat on
one section for any length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. When using the dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a
warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with cooler air.
5. This dryer includes concentrator attachments. Use the attachments when you need
drying power in a small area (such as a curl or a wave), or when you want to relax curly
hair.
DRYING BASICS

WARNING
This professional dryer is equipped with a true cold shot button. Do NOT use with the air
inlet against hair, or damage will be caused to internal parts.
Never block the air openings of the appliance. Keep the filter intake free of buildup from
lint, hair and other debris by cleaning regularly.
Allowing the filter to become blocked will decrease performance, shorten the life of the
dryer, and risk voiding the warranty.

NEGATIVE ION GENERATOR
The RAPIDO dryer has a central negative ion generator that generates an exceptional
volume of millions of ions per cm3. Hair is naturally positively charged; this positive
charge is increased during drying and generates static electricity, which causes the scales
of the hair to move away from each other. The surface of hair thus becomes rough and
takes on a lifeless appearance. The negative ions generated by this hair dryer will
neutralize the positive charge and, in this way, remove any static electricity in the hair.
Hair is shiny and easy to style. It has been proven that ionic technology acts as a catalyst
for hair products.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND ERGONOMIC
The RAPIDO dryer has an ergonomic handle for complete comfort during use. Its light
weight and ideal balance make it perfect for the salon.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The dryer must be kept clean for proper operating performance. When cleaning is
needed, unplug the cord, allow to cool and clean dust and lint from air intake openings
with a small brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface of the
dryer should be wiped clean with a cloth only.
Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the dryer to overheat. If overheating
occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the dryer or the heat off to prevent damage
or personal injury. If the unit or the heat cycles off, turn the dryer off, unplug the cord,
and allow the dryer to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting. Make sure air vents are
clean, by following below steps:
1. Remove intake filter from back of dryer by twisting counterclockwise.
2. Reach through opening, and press the mesh screen to release it from the filter (Fig. 1).
3. Visually inspect the filter to make sure no hair is caught (Fig. 2). Rinse the mesh screen
ONLY under running water to clear any debris. Repeat as needed, or use a stiff bristle
brush for any difficult build-up.

4. Make sure the mesh screen is free from any debris and completely dry. Place screen
into bottom part of removable intake filter (Fig. 3).
5. Press with your finger around the edge of the screen to lock mesh screen in place
(Fig. 4).
