Overview

This document outlines the user manual for the Anko QL-5915A Hair Dryer, providing essential information for its safe and effective operation, maintenance, and storage. The hairdryer is designed exclusively for drying human hair and is not recommended for use on artificial hair, animals, or damaged/bleached hair. Users are advised to perform a trial on a hidden spot before first use, as results may vary depending on hair type.

Function Description

The Anko QL-5915A Hair Dryer is an electrical appliance intended for household use to dry and style hair. It features an air outlet for directing airflow, a rear grille/air inlet for air intake, a cool shot switch for temporarily cool air, and a fan speed switch to adjust the blowing strength. The device also includes a foldable handle for compact storage and a hanging loop for convenient placement. A concentrator nozzle is provided to focus the airflow for precise styling. A voltage selector allows the user to adapt the appliance to different mains voltages, ensuring compatibility in various regions.

Usage Features

Before using the hairdryer, it is crucial to read all instructions carefully and ensure the appliance is placed on a dry, level, clean surface, free from liquids. The power cord must be fully unwound before use to prevent tangling and potential hazards.

To operate the hairdryer, first, ensure the fan speed switch is in the OFF (0) position. Plug the appliance into the mains supply and switch it on. If desired, the concentrator nozzle can be attached to the air outlet by pressing it firmly into place. The concentrator can be removed after use, but it's important to allow it to cool down first as it can become hot during operation.

The hairdryer offers adjustable blowing strength via the fan speed switch:

  • Position O: OFF
  • Position (one fan icon): Low fan speed
  • Position (two fan icons): High fan speed

For a burst of cool air, the cool shot switch can be pressed and held. This feature is useful for setting styles. Once drying or styling is complete, switch the appliance OFF, unplug it from the mains, and allow it to cool before storing.

A critical safety feature is the voltage selector, located on the handle. Before connecting the appliance, users must check the local mains voltage and adjust the selector switch accordingly using a screwdriver or a small coin. For Australia, the voltage selector must be set to 220-240V AC. Failure to set the correct voltage can result in permanent damage to the appliance. This adjustment is particularly important when traveling to different countries or returning home.

The hairdryer is designed for safe operation, but users must never leave it unattended while in use. To prevent overheating and fire risk, the appliance should never be covered, especially not under a blanket or in poorly ventilated areas. It should also be kept away from other heat sources like direct sunlight or other heating appliances. An extension cable should not be used.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the Anko QL-5915A Hair Dryer.

Cleaning the Rear Grille:

The rear grille, which also serves as the air inlet, can become clogged with dust and dirt during use. If this occurs, the rear grille should be removed for cleaning. Dust and dirt can be removed using a dry brush. It is recommended to clean the unit at least once a month to maintain optimal airflow and prevent overheating.

General Cleaning and Maintenance:

Before any cleaning, always turn off the appliance and disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

  • The appliance should be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Care must be taken to ensure no moisture enters the appliance during cleaning.
  • Do not use harsh cleaning agents such as alcohol, acetone, gasoline, or abrasive cleaners on the plastic components.
  • Avoid using hard brushes or metal objects for cleaning, as these can damage the surface.
  • Never clean the appliance while it is still hot to prevent the risk of burns.
  • The appliance should never be submerged in water, nor should water be allowed to run over the heating plates or the appliance itself.
  • The air suction opening should be cleaned periodically with a fine brush to ensure unobstructed airflow.

Storage:

When not in use, store the hairdryer in a cool, dry location, out of reach of children and pets. If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, it is best to store it in its original packaging to protect it from damage. After use, avoid wrapping the power cord tightly around the appliance, as this can cause the cord to fracture. Instead, coil the cord loosely by the side of the appliance when storing.

Safety Precautions for Maintenance:

  • Never attempt to dismantle the appliance, as it contains no user-serviceable parts inside.
  • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician to avoid hazards, or the product must be disposed of. Any repairs to the product for electrical safety must be carried out by a qualified electrical person only.
  • Do not insert any foreign objects into the appliance.
  • Only use accessories supplied with this product.

The hairdryer is a Class II appliance, indicating it has double insulation and does not require a safety connection to electrical earth. For additional protection in bathrooms, the installation of a residual current device (RCD/Safety switch) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable in the electrical circuit. If unsure, consult an electrician.

The manual emphasizes the importance of reading and saving these instructions for future reference, ensuring users can always refer back to safety guidelines and operational procedures.
