Notes

The air remains cool while the cool-shot button is held down.
nanoe™ is produced when the power switch (K) is set to position “LOW” to “HIGH”.
nanoe™ is invisible to the naked eye.
If you are worried about hair damage, set the switch to “LOW: Gentle airfl ow” before use.
Drops of water may blow out of the nanoe™ outlet (C) during use, but this is not a malfunction.
A humming noise may come out of the nanoe™ outlet (C), but this is the sound of nanoe™ being discharged and is not a malfunction.
The effects of nanoe™ might not be felt by the following people. People with crimpy hair, strong curly hair, very smooth hair, short hair, or who have had a hair straightening perm in the last three or four months.
You may notice a characteristic odor when using this hair dryer. This is not harmful to the human body.

The best recommended usage of the oscillating quick-dry nozzle

When using the oscillating quick-dry nozzle in automatic swing mode, make sure to set the wind speed to “HIGH”.

Please confi rm that the power switch is set to the position “OFF” before using the oscillating quick-dry nozzle.
Hold the both sides of the oscillating quick-dry nozzle with your hands, and pull it out gently with force until you hear a “click” sound, indicating that the automatic swing mode of the oscillating quick-dry nozzle has been turned on.
Choose the temperature of wind as required.
Set the power switch to “HIGH”.
If you want to dry your hairs quickly, it is recommended to choose the mode “HIGH” + “HOT” or “WARM”.

- Make sure that the power switch is set to the position “OFF”.
- Hold the both sides of the oscillating quick-dry nozzle with your hands, and slightly press it inward with force until you hear a “click” sound, indicating that the automatic swing mode of the oscillating quick-dry nozzle has been locked.
Set the wind speed to “LOW”, then set the temperature of the wind to “COOL ”. Finally, set your hair according to your own particular preferences.
Note
Oscillating quick-dry nozzle may not function properly at low power mode (“LOW”).

About nanoe™

What is nanoe™?
(nanoe™, generation method: high voltage discharge) 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™ is ion wrapped in water that are invisible to the human eye.

How nanoe™ works
Generally hair has properties which make it easy to become positively charged with electricity. These properties attract strongly negatively charged nanoe™ which penetrates the hair with moisture. Furthermore, they make the hair slightly acidic, tighten cuticles and keep your hair strong, elastic and healthy.

Panel effect

When nanoe™ continues to strike hair, hair becomes negatively charged. As a result, the nanoe™ and negatively charged hair repel each other, making it diffi cult for nanoe™ to reach hair.
With the nanoe™ Charge System, by just gripping the panel together with the handle, the negative charge accumulated on hair is released.
Because of this, nanoe™ continues to penetrate into hair, supplying moisture and thoroughly moistening down to the tips of hair.

Maintenance of the hair dryer

Always turn the power switch off and disconnect the plug from the household outlet. (Except when performing maintenance on the air outlet)

Maintaining the main body

Do this when dirty
To clean the hair dryer (when it is dirty), soak a cloth in the soapy water and squeeze it out firmly, then wipe with the cloth.
Notes
- Do not use substances such as alcohol, nail polish remover or detergent (hand soap). Doing so may result in malfunction or part cracks or discoloration.
- Do not leave the appliance with hairdressing products or cosmetics on it. Doing so will cause deterioration of the plastic, leading to discoloration and cracks.

Maintaining the nanoe™ outlet

Use commercially available cotton swabs. (We recommend the thin cotton swabs made for use with babies.)
This maintenance allows the hair dryer to sustain the generated level of nanoe™ over a long period.
1. Dampen the end of the cotton swab with tap water.
2. A needle portion is located deep within the nanoe™ outlet. Using the swab, rub this portion gently about 5 times.

Maintaining the air inlet
Clean the air inlet once a month or over.

When dust etc. has built up, detach the fi lter from the hair dryer and remove the dust etc. using a toothbrush or vacuum cleaner.
Use a commercially available toothbrush.

Pull on the catch on the bottom side of the fi lter to detach.
Remove any dust etc. adhered to the fi lter or air inlet grille.
- Remove the dust etc. adhered to the outside of the fi lter using a vacuum cleaner. If this does not remove the dust, use the thick part of your fi ngers to push the dust etc. through the fi ne mesh on the internal side towards the metal mesh on the external side, and scrub away carefully with a toothbrush.
- Using the toothbrush, carefully scrub away any dust etc. from the internal side of the fi lter.
- Using a vacuum cleaner or toothbrush, carefully remove any dust etc. adhered to the air inlet.
- Rubbing forcefully with your nails may tear the fi lter, so please use a toothbrush.
Attach the fi lter securely, starting with the upper side.
Keep pressing until you hear a “click” from both upper and lower catches.

Maintaining the air outlet

The hair dryer should be plugged into the household outlet only in case of maintenance for the air outlet.
Use a commercially available toothbrush.
Switch the temperature selector to “COOL” and blow away the dust etc. as you scrub with the toothbrush.
During maintenance, do not block the air inlet with your hands etc.
Be careful when using the hair dryer for the fi rst time after maintenance, since it may blow out dust etc.

*If YOU MUST USE YOUR HAIR DRYER IN THE BATHROOM, INSTALL A GFCI NOW!**
Your local electrician can help you decide which type is best for you- a portable unit that plugs into the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed by your electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.

WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls in water while it’s plugged in, the electric shock can kill you…even if the switch is “off”. A regular fuse or circuit breaker won’t protect you under these circumstances. A GFCI offers you far greater protection.

A GFCI can save your life! Compared to that, the price is small!! Don’t wait …install one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity fl ow.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This hair dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operating performance, the hair dryer must be kept clean. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, 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 hair dryer should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
This hair dryer should be stored out of reach of children.
Warning – To prevent the risk of electric shock, personal injury or fi re, observe the following:
1. Do not perform any servicing. This hair dryer has no user-serviceable parts.
2. Never allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent.
3. Never wrap the cord tightly around the hair dryer. Damage will occur at the high fl ex point of entry into the hair dryer, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or unit stops or operates intermittently.
