supply to the appliance and then unplug from the wall socket.

19.Keep the air intake cover free of dust or fluff.
20.Do not allow the air inlet or outlet to become blocked or even partially
blocked. This may cause the dryer to overheat. If it does overheat, the
safety cut-out will cause the dryer to switch off and remain inoperable until
the unit has sufficiently cooled down. In this event, switch off the appliance,
unplug it and let it cool down. Remove any blockage to the air inlet or outlet
before resuming use. If the dryer should cut out again, even when there is
no blockage, contact the approved Service Centre for examination and
repair.
21.After using any of the attachments, allow them to cool before removing
them, or remove them using a towel, to avoid burning your fingers.

22.Do not use the dryer within 1 meter of any other electrical or electronic
appliance (e.g. TV, computer,...) as it may cause interference.
23.The installation of a residual current operated protective device with a
nominal trip current of 30mA offers additional protection. Contact your
electrician.

How to use your Styler
Low (1):
For initial hair drying, and for most hair styling/setting procedures and hair types.
High (2):
For fast drying and high heat styling.
Using the attachments
Choose the particular Styling Attachment you wish to style your hair with,
depending on the effect you wish to achieve.
Caution:
Never use the hot air styler body without first properly assembling the unit
with the attachment of your choice.
Removing and Replacing attachments
1. The air styler and attachments should be completely cooled.
2. The speed switch should be in the OFF (O) position before removing or
replacing any attachments.
Replacing Styling Attachments
1. On the inside of each Attachment there is an arrow .
2. Insert the attachment with the arrow aligned with the release button.
3. Push down until it you hear a click, indicating the attachment is securely in
place.
4. Pull up on the attachment to ensure that it is securely attached.
Removing Styling Attachments
1. Push the release button, and pull the Attachment off the Air Styler with your
other hand.
2. Caution: Thermal attachments will become hot during use. Handle the
attachment by the plastic base or safety tip to avoid burns.
Styling tips
1. Use your hot air styler as a styling/finishing tool.
2. It may be used on dry hair or hair that has been towel dried thoroughly.
3. Hair must be tangle-free prior to using the Air Styler.

Styling times
1. Styling time will vary with different hair textures and depending on how
damp the hair is before styling.
2. Average styling times can range from 20 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Test a section of hair to judge drying time.
4. Repeat as necessary until the section is dry.
5. When properly dried the hair should be completely dry and warm to the
touch.
Volumising the hair
Whenever you brush your hair and partly blow-dry it against its natural growth
pattern, you will add bulk to your hair and body to the style.
After partially drying your hair in this manner, you can then brush your hair and
blow-style it in the direction you want the finished style to be.
Avoiding hair tangles
If your hair gets caught in one of the attachments, do not panic!
1. Immediately slide the speed switch to the OFF (O) position.
2. Unplug the Styler.
3. Depending on the situation you may want to detach the attachment from the
handle or leave it on for better manageability.
4. First try loosening the hair on the attachment and then slowly unwinding it.
5. Twisting the attachment up and down will only cause the attachment to
become more tangled.
6. Using the end of a tail comb is sometimes useful to loosen the tangled area.
7. When using the Retractable Brush, Thermal Brush and Curling Brush, never
wrap the hair around the brush more than 2 times.
Long hair
1. Use caution with hair that is longer than shoulder length when using the
following attachments: Retractable Brush, Thermal Brush and Curling
Brush.
2. Use small sections and take your time.
3. Be cautious to avoid tangles.
Damp hair
1. If styling damp hair, the use of a mousse or styling spay is helpful to
maintain volume and hold the curl.
2. Use the Concentrator Attachment to remove excess moisture from the hair
before using the styling attachments.
3. The hair should feel moist to the touch (a little more than halfway dry).
Dry hair
1. Hair that is dry should be “misted” slightly using a spray water bottle, then
combed through.
2. Although the Air Styler may be used on dry hair, misting allows the hair to
be more responsive to styling.

Operating the Air Styler
1. Place and lock the desired attachment onto the Styler.
2. Plug the Styler into an AC electrical outlet.
3. During the first few minutes of initial use, or after being stored for a while,
you may notice smoke and slight odor. This is normal and should quickly
dissipate.
4. Set the Styler to the desired setting.
5. Direct the styler through a section of hair at a time. The average size of a
section should be between 2 –2.5 centimeters thick and 4 –5 centimeters
wide.
6. When finished, slide the speed switch to the OFF (O) position and unplug
the unit.
Attachments:
Short Brush
1. Designed to direct warm air at the scalp aiding in creating maximum lift from
the roots.
2. Insert the brush into the hair and starting as close to the roots as possible lift
up 4 –5 centimeters from the scalp.
3. Slide out hair when finished.
Thermal Round Brush
1. Add volume and gentle curl to your hair with this brush.
2. The Thermal Brush’s heated barrel adds curling power.
3. Style hair until warm to the touch.
Style: Curled Under
Medium to Long Hair
Begin styling the hair straight down along the length of the hair, from the
scalp to 4 –5 centimeters from the ends of the hair. After this section of
the hair is dry, curl the ends under.
Short Hair
While holding the ends of the hair, place the Styler at the base of the
section (close to the scalp). Release the ends of the hair and move the
Styler along the length of the hair to the ends. Once at the ends of the
hair, roll back the Styler so the hair is wound like in a roller set.
Curling Brush
Using the Curling Brush attachment will provide similar effects as a standard
curling brush with less heat, and is gentler on the hair.
Style: Barrel Curl
Short Hair/Bangs
Warning: Use care not to touch the hot barrel.
Style: Tousled Hair
1. Create soft, tousled waves by curling each hair section in a random
direction.
2. Then turn your head upside down, shake and gently scrunch your hair with
your fingers.

3. Bring your head back to normal position and repeat for the fullest volume.
Curling Iron
1. Warning: Use care not to touch the hot thermal plates.
2. For quick and easy curls.
Curling Brush - Retractable Bristles
1. Once the hair has been set into style, the bristles are retractable for easy
removal.
Concentrator
1. This nozzle helps direct the flow of air to a concentrated area for quicker
drying and styling.
Care and Maintenance
1. Switch the appliance off, unplug it and let it cool down.
2. Wipe the body of the styler with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a little
washing-up liquid.
3. Remove deposits from the inlet grille by brushing with a soft brush.
