- Keep the appliance and its electric cord away from sources of heat and from heatsensitive surfaces (plastic, vinyl, etc.).
- Do not hold or handle the appliance by the electric cord. Do not wind the electric cord around the appliance, bend it or twist it so as not to impair its correct functioning and thus damage the hair dryer. Lack of compliance with the above warnings and instructions could cause a short circuit and thus irreparable damage to the hair dryer, as well as put the user’s safety at risk.
- If the electric cord shows any signs of damage or wear, it should be replaced by specialised personnel only. Do not use fittings and/or accessories that have been modified or that have not been approved by the manufacturer.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use and allow it to cool down before storing it in a safe place. To disconnect the appliance, unplug the electric cord from the wall power outlet.
- To clean the appliance, always disconnect it from the power outlet first and let it cool completely. When cleaning, do not use aggressive products containing phenylphenol.
- This appliance should only be used for its intended purpose.
- For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice.
This appliance must not be used by people with reduced physical, motor or
mental capacity (including children), or with limited knowledge of the
appliance itself, unless such people have been trained for its use or are
under adequate supervision to ensure their own safety. Children must be under
supervision at all times to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not use this appliance near bathtubs or other vessels containing water.
This appliance has been designed with a double-insulation system for your

sales receipt to the shop where the product was purchased.
USE INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure that your hands are completely dry before connecting the appliance to the mains.
- Connect the hair dryer and switch the power- on/lock switch from 0 to I. (Fig.1)
When first switched on, the hair dryer is set with both air flow and temperature set at the minimum, corresponding to the first indicator light from the bottom, next to the side buttons. (Fig.2)
AIR FLOW SPEED
The hair dryer is equipped with an air flow adjustment button.
By pressing the top, the air flow increases as shown by the white indicator
lights. To decrease the flow, press the bottom part of the adjustment button.
(Fig.3)
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
The hair dryer is fitted with 3 temperature levels that can be adjusted by
pressing the dedicated button. By pressing the upper part of the button, the
temperature increases as indicated by the 3 red indicator lights. To decrease
the temperature, press the bottom part of the button. (Fig.4)
COOL SHOT
You can use the “Cool shot” button during hair drying to promote along-lasting
style.
To activate this function, simply press and hold the Cool Shot button. To
deactivate it, release the button.
When the Cool Shot is active, the hair dryer blows cold air regardless of the
temperature it is set on. The temperature indicators flash quickly to indicate
the Cool Shot mode as active.
By turning it off, the temperature returns to the previous setting (Cool Shot
mode deactivation). (Fig.5) LOCK BUTTON
After setting the desired air flow speed and temperature, the selector buttons
can be locked to prevent accidental change during use. To lock the air speed
and temperature selection buttons, turn the power-on/lock switch to the
locking position (Fig. 6)
While the air speed and temperature selector
buttons are locked, the Cool Shot button/function can still be used.
MEMORY FUNCTION
The iQ has a speed and temperature memorization system. When the product is
turned off, the last air speed and temperature settings are stored, so that
when the dryer is turned back on, it automatically goes back to those saved
settings.
However, if the dryer is disconnected from the plug, the factory setting will
be restored.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The iQ possesses a unique micro-perforated filter, designed specifically to
trap even the tiniest dirt particles and impurities from the environment. By
preventing the passage of environmental pollutants to the engine and hair, it
protects the hairdryer’s motor and increases its life, while also preventing
dirt from reaching the hair and scalp during the styling phase, thus
protecting its health and promoting its shine. Therefore, the daily cleaning
of the micro-perforated filter is essential to maintaining the correct
functioning of the product and ensuring its long-lasting performance.
The proper cleaning of the filter is absolutely necessary to optimize the
micro-perforated filter’s function and hence, protect the hairdryer’s motor.
WARNING, the accumulation of dirt resulting from the improper cleaning of
the filter may result in engine damage and affect the hairdryer’s performance.
As a protection measure, in case of excessive accumulation of dirt in the
filter, the hairdryer’s intelligent digital interface may turn off the dryer
in order to protect the motor.
When this happens, a white LED light will turn on indicating that the filter
must be cleaned immediately. (Fig.7) MICRO-PERFORATED METAL FILTER’S CORRECT
CLEANING PROCESS – MMF
This process consists of two easy steps: Manual Cleaning and Auto-Cleaning
function.
MANUAL CLEANING
- Carefully remove the external back filter by turning the metal ring carefully in a counterclockwise direction (Fig. 8).
- Clean the metal filter by using a brush first and then finishing with a clean cloth, making sure that any dirt that is lodged in the filter is removed. We highly recommend moistening the cloth with isopropyl alcohol, which acts as degreaser and removes any possible residues.
For professional users, the manual cleaning process must be done daily. For domestic use, it can be done weekly.
AUTO CLEANING FUNCTION
Please follow the few steps listed below:
- Carefully remove the external back filter by turning the metal ring in a counter-clockwise direction (Fig. 8).
- Without accessories attached to the dryer (such as nozzles or diffusor), turn the dryer on (position 1) for a few seconds to ensure that there are no hair residues or dust left on the main air outlet.
- Then turn the hairdryer off and proceed to press and hold the top speed selection button for 7 seconds (Fig. 9).
- The dryer will then automatically start blowing air in reverse direction, towards the back of the dryer. The air pressure should remove all the dirt caught in the filter. The auto-cleaning cycle will last 15 seconds, the amount necessary to guarantee the correct cleaning of the filter after intensive professional use. During this process, make sure you keep both the air outlet and the air inlet free from obstructions and away from any surface or exposed to any hair chemical airborne products, such a hairsprays.
We recommend using the auto-cleaning function after each use.
At the end of the AUTOCLEANING session:
- Reposition the external rear ring nut, taking care to reposition it in the right direction (just check that the positioning occurs easily, without friction or pressure). CAUTION: if inserted in the wrong direction (on the slightly narrower side), the applied pressure could damage the piece and/or cause it to break. (Fig.10)
- Reposition the metal ring containing the external filter by making its two interlocking tabs coincide with the two plastic slots on the product body, and rotate it clockwise. (Fig.11) At this point the self-cleaning procedure will be completed and the hair dryer can be used normally.
BRUSHING SETTING
Due to the iQ’s exceptional air flow and pressure, we highly recommend a
unique brushing setting to guarantee the hair’s protection and optimize the
hairdryer’s erformance. The recommended brushing position is the 2nd
temperature level for regular types of hair and 1st temperature level for
those with fine hair.
ERROR RECOGNITION / SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The hair dryer is equipped with multiple sensors that constantly monitor usage
parameters. In case of extreme or unusual use, the hair dryer will stop its
operation or not turn on in order to protect both the user and the product
itself. Any anomaly detected by the hair dryer is indicated by a flashing
light code on the handle.
Since some types of anomaly are temporary (for example, an extreme use of the
hair dryer which generates an excess in temperature), we recommend to proceed
as follows:
- turn the switch to the off position 0.
- unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
- after a few minutes, connect the appliance to the power outlet again and turn it on.
If the indicator lights stop flashing, the problem is solved. If, on the other
hand, they continue flashing, contact the store’s assistance service or, in
the case of purchase from the GA.MA’s online shop, the company’s customer
care.
N.B.: Since IQ is equipped with a sophisticated and sensitive electronic
system, a change in electrical voltage could cause an error signal and
therefore a switch off of the device. This is functional and it is a self-
protection mechanism.
ACCESSORIES
- 2 concentrator nozzles
- 1 diffuser
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSERTING THE ACCESSORIES
To insert both concentrator nozzle and diffuser, simply apply a light
pressure.
The accessories must be inserted gently, without too much force and in such a
way as to leave a thin space between the metal ring on the front of the hair
dryer and the accessory itself. (Fig.12)
The IQ accessories have a conical, non-traditional (mechanical or magnetic)
coupling that allows users to securely fix the accessories simply by applying
a light pressure.
VENTURI EFFECT
IQ’s shape allows an easier Venturi effect, i.e. the spreading of a higher
aiflow due to the suction effect without requiring and therefore consuming
additional energy. (Fig.13)
IMPORTANT:
Use only original GAMA accessories.
