Cold Shot Button: A dedicated cold shot button is available for finishing styles.
Safety Thermostat: The appliance is equipped with a safety thermostat that will automatically stop operation or cause it to run hot and cold intermittently in the event of overheating.
Power Lead: The appliance is powered via a mains lead.

Usage Features:

Preparation: Before use, hair should be towel-dried and detangled.
Connection: The appliance is plugged into a suitable mains socket.
Operation: Users select the desired heat and speed settings using the controls on the device.
Concentrator Nozzle: A concentrator nozzle is included to direct airflow for precise styling. It is important to use this nozzle only on the lowest heat/speed setting.
Child Safety: The manual emphasizes that the appliance should always be kept out of reach of children (during and after use, and whilst cooling). It should not be used, cleaned, or maintained by children, and extra care should be taken if used on or near children. It is explicitly stated not to use it on very young children.
Bathroom Use (UK): For users in the UK, the appliance is explicitly prohibited from use in the bathroom.
Bathroom Use (Outside UK): For users outside the UK, if the appliance is used in a bathroom, it must be unplugged after use due to the danger of water proximity. The installation of a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom is advisable for additional protection.
Water Proximity: A strict warning is given not to use the appliance near water contained in basins, bathtubs, or other vessels, and not to immerse it in water or other liquids.
Direct Gaze: Users are warned never to look directly into the barrel of the hairdryer when it is switched on.
Overheating Protocol: In case of overheating (automatic stop or intermittent hot/cold operation), the dryer should be switched to the "0" position, unplugged, and allowed to cool for 10 minutes. Before restarting, the rear filter must be checked for hair and debris. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer service.
Air Vents: Care must be taken to ensure the air vents do not become blocked during use. The rear filter should be clear of hair and other debris before each use.
Surface Placement: The appliance should not be placed on any heat-sensitive surface whilst in operation.
Skin Contact: Users should take care to avoid direct contact between the hot surface of the appliance and skin, particularly the ears, eyes, face, and neck.
Supervision: The appliance should not be used by adults with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been correctly instructed and adequately supervised.
Unattended Operation: The appliance should not be left unattended when switched on or plugged in.
Hair Ingestion Prevention: It is crucial to always keep the rear of the appliance away from the hair during use to prevent hair from being drawn in through the rear air filter.
