About nanoe™

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

►Note
• Results of nanoe™ on hair vary according to the individual, and the following people may find 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

How to use the hair dryer

1. Before using the hair dryer, make sure that the power switch is at position “ ”, then plug into a household outlet and turn on the power switch.
2. Select the intensity of the airflow with the power switch, and then dry your hair.
3. Set the power switch to position “ ”, and then remove the plug from the household outlet.

►Notes

• Drops of water may blow out of the nanoe™ outlet during use, but this is not a malfunction.
• A humming noise may come out of the nanoe™ outlet, but this is the sound of nanoe™ being discharged and is not a malfunction.
• You may notice a characteristic odor when using this hair dryer. This is not harmful to the human body.
• 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.

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 nanoe™ outlet

Clean the nanoe™ outlet at least once a month. In order to maintain the generation amount of nanoe™.

1. Prepare a commercially available new cotton swab.
2. Gently insert the swab in the nanoe™ outlet until it stops (about 10 mm), and then turn the cotton swab 2‑3 times carefully.

►Note
