Mode indicator and mode explanation

Switch mode with mode switching button

The appliance will enter hot air mode when the power switch is turned on.
In all modes, the nanoe™ lamp glows, and air including nanoe™ and mineral ion blows.
When [HOT], [ ] (hot/cold alternating mode) hot air, [SCALP] is selected, cold air blows around the hot air, helping set your hair and making your hair shiny.

About nanoe™ and double mineral*

“Double mineral” means mineral ions generated by two zinc electrodes.

nanoe™ and double mineral effect

Penetrates hair with moisture and tightens cuticle to keep your hair elastic and healthy. Your hair becomes stronger against damage from brushing.

What is nanoe™, mineral ion?

(nanoe™, mineral ion generation method: high voltage discharge)
nanoe™
nanoe™ is generated by collecting the available moisture in the air, so depending on the usage environment, nanoe™ may not be generated. In environments of low temperature and low humidity, moisture in the air becomes difﬁ cult to collect. When this occurs, negative ions are generated.
nanoe™ are ions wrapped in water that are invisible to the human eye.
Mineral ion
Ions generated by a zinc electrode that cannot be seen by the eye.

Panel effect

Just by grasping the panel along with the handle, more nanoe™ is attracted to your hair.

Note

Results of nanoe™, mineral ions and hot/cold alternating mode (See page 13.) on hair vary according to the individual, and the following people may ﬁ nd it hard to experience an effect.
- People with curly hair
- People with strong wavy hair
- People with smooth hair that can be easily set
- People who have had a straightening perm within 3 to 4 months
- People with short hair

Note

Do not press or rub with your nails or sharp items. Doing so may cause the air inlet to break.

Maintaining the nanoe™ outlet and the mineral ion outlet

At least once a month
In order to maintain the generation amount of nanoe™ and mineral ion.

Prepare a commercially available new cotton swab.
Gently insert the swab in the nanoe™ outlet and the mineral ion outlet until it stops (about 1 cm), and then turn the cotton swab 2-3 times carefully.

Note

It is easier to clean the nanoe™ outlet and the mineral ion outlet with a narrow cotton swab (for example, one intended for babies).
