GB General Description
Function
The appliance produces an adjustable air stream with a low or high air velocity
and low or high air temperature. In conjunction with the mountable attachments
(7, 8, 9) you can brush, clean, style and dry your pet's hair.
Drying the fur with a standard hairdryer charges the hairs with static electricity,
resulting in "fly-away". The ion-function of this appliance generates negatively
charged ions during operation. These are brought to the hairs by the air flow.
Hereby, the positive static charge in the hairs is neutralised and voided. The fur will
be soft, supple and easier to brush.
Appliance
A powerful fan and an electric heater are installed in the appliance.
When in use, air is sucked in through the air intake opening 2, heated by the
electric heater and blown out again through the air outlet opening opening 6.
With the blower level switch 5you can set the desired fan performance and the
required heating level in two stages..
Depending on the density of the animal fur you can use three different attachments
(7, 8, 9) in conjunction with the blower level 1:
7
●Brush attachment - for removing loose hairs or dirt.
8
●Comb attachment (fine) - for fine and thin hair.
9
●Comb attachment (dense) - for thick or long hair.
For storage, the appliance has a hanging loop 3on the protection cover of the
connection cable 4.
