Dryer models with IONIC function
When brushing hair, the friction may create
a static charge, causing the hair to 'fl y'. By
generating negative ions, the IONIC function
largely neutralises this static charge and makes
it easier to treat the hair.
The IONIC function is automatically enabled
during use, irrespective of the switch settings; it
is indicated by the indicator light.
Styling nozzle
The styling nozzle can be fi tted to the air outlet
to facilitate shaping the hair during blow drying.
Volume diffusor
The volume diffusor is also fi tted to the air
outlet.
The diffusor is used to create or maintain the

with a gentle circular motion over the head.
For increased volume, the hair should be
gently blow-dried from above, i.e. with the head
forward and hair hanging down.
Air-fl ow and temperature controls
By using different combinations of the air-fl ow
and temperature controls, various settings are
possible when drying the hair.
The air-fl ow control regulates the air-fl ow
intensity, while the temperature control
regulates the heat of the air-fl ow.
With the air-fl ow control set to the 'O'-position,
the hair-dryer is switched off.
Cool function
After using the heat setting, the cool function
can be employed. This supplies cooler air
to help fi rm the hair and give it an attractive
