19 When the hairdryer is used in bathroom, unplug it after use since the proximity of water
presents a hazard even when the hairdryer is switched off.
20 For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD), having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30mA, is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying
the bathroom. Ask your electrician for advice.

appliance is designed in such a way that the electrical parts can never come into contact
with the outer casing of the device.

appropriate disposal must be ensured. Deposit the appliance at a recommended waste
collection point.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for professional use.
IMPORTANT: 2000-2200 WATT OPERATING GUIDE
BRUSHLESS MOTOR TECHNOLOGY
While typical dryer motors use carbon brushes that wear out over time causing the motor to
stop working, the brushless motor uses magnets and electronics that are longer lasting. This
extends the life of the motor and high air velocity which can lead to reduced drying time. All
the power with less weight and noise.
HYDROIONIC TOURMALINE CRYSTALS
The Hydroionic Tourmaline Crystals in the VARIS DRYER are a blend of naturally-occurring
crystals that emit negative ions and far infrared energy that contribute to controlling static
electricity while drying hair fast.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION
Generates a cloud of negative ions that can:
• Help reduce frizz
• Neutralise the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair
• Reduce static electricity
REMOVABLE FILTER
The removable filter helps reduce noise.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained. Always treat hair well with
superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing products.
DRYING BASICS
1 Shampoo and condition hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry hair to
remove excess moisture. Section hair. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, direct hot
air through one 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 For quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.

5 When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer
temperature setting, then finish styling with cooler air.
6 This dryer includes a concentrator attachment. Use the attachment when you need drying
power in a small area (such as a curl or a wave), or when you want to relax curly hair.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn head upside down while drying. Position the airflow toward the
roots for maximum lift. When hair is dry, gently toss head back and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a super-straight look. Using a large round brush
(approximately 5 cm in diameter), hold hair taut in each section and bend ends slightly under
as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the roots and scrunching
between fingertips while drying.

USER MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. 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 damp 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 the air vents are clean.
CLEAN FOAM FILTER WITH WATER
Visually inspect the filter to make sure no hair is caught. Rinse the foam screen ONLY under
lukewarm running water to clear any debris. Repeat as needed, or use a stiff bristle brush for
any difficult buildup. Make sure the foam screen is free from any debris and completely dry.
Place screen into bottom part of removable intake filter. Press with your finger around the edge
of the screen to lock foam screen in place.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord
tightly around the dryer. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the dryer, causing
it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if
damage is visible or unit stops or operates intermittently. If the cord or dryer is damaged or
does not operate properly, contact a VARIS sales representative or Kao Customer Service. No
repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE – IMPORTANT
When not in use, your dryer should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe, dry
location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap line cord around dryer. Allow the cord to hang or
lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the dryer.
