The Dyson Supersonic™ professional hair dryer is a sophisticated hair styling tool designed for efficient and precise hair drying. It features a sleek, ergonomic design with a powerful motor and advanced heat control technology.
Function Description
The primary function of the Dyson Supersonic™ professional hair dryer is to dry hair quickly and efficiently while minimizing heat damage. It achieves this through a combination of high-velocity airflow and intelligent heat control.
- Airflow Control: The device offers three precise airflow settings: Fast, Medium, and Gentle. These settings allow users to adjust the airflow intensity according to their hair type and styling needs, providing versatility for various drying and styling techniques.
- Temperature Control: The hair dryer incorporates four precise heat settings: High, Medium, Low, and Cool. This intelligent heat control system measures air temperature over 40 times a second to prevent extreme heat damage, protecting hair's natural shine. The 'Cool shot' feature, activated by pressing and holding the temperature control button, deactivates heat and sets the style, providing a burst of cool air to finish off a look.
- Power On/Off: A sliding switch controls the power of the device, making it easy to turn on and off during use.
- Attachments: The hair dryer comes with several magnetic styling attachments that are easy to fit and rotate during styling. These attachments utilize heat shield technology to keep their surfaces cool, even during prolonged use.
- Professional Concentrator: This attachment provides a fast, precise airflow that spans the length of a brush, ideal for focused styling and smoothing.
- Smoothing Nozzle: Designed to deliver a wide, smooth airflow for a smoother finish, reducing frizz and enhancing shine.
- Diffuser: This attachment diffuses air evenly around curls, helping to define them and reduce frizz. It is recommended for use on low temperature and flow settings to protect delicate curls.
- Gentle Air Attachment: Provides a gentle, cooler airflow, specifically designed for fine hair and delicate scalps, offering a more comfortable drying experience.
Usage Features
The Dyson Supersonic™ professional hair dryer is designed for intuitive and safe use.
- Ergonomic Design: The device is engineered for balance, with the motor positioned in the handle, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods.
- Magnetic Attachments: The magnetic design of the attachments allows for quick and easy changes during styling, enhancing user convenience. They can be rotated 360 degrees for precise styling angles.
- LED Indicators: The device features LED lights that indicate the selected airflow and temperature settings, providing clear visual feedback to the user. These LEDs also serve as diagnostic indicators, flashing continuously to alert the user to potential issues, such as a clogged filter.
- Safety Features: The appliance includes a non-self-resetting thermal cut-out safety device to prevent overheating. If the appliance cuts out, it should be unplugged from the mains supply and allowed to cool before further use. It is crucial not to use the appliance near water, such as bathtubs, showers, basins, or other vessels containing water, to prevent electric shock. For bathroom use, it is recommended to unplug the device after use and to install a Residual Current Device (RCD) in the electrical circuit for additional protection.
- Cable Management: Users are advised not to unplug the device by pulling on the cable but to grasp the plug. The cable should be kept away from heated surfaces and not wrapped around the appliance to prevent damage.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Dyson Supersonic™ professional hair dryer.
- Removable Filter: The device features a removable filter located at the base of the handle, designed for easy cleaning. Regular cleaning of the filter is essential to maintain performance and prevent the device from overheating. The user manual provides instructions for cleaning the filter, and additional guidance is available online.
- Troubleshooting: The LED indicators provide diagnostic information. If all three red lights flash continuously, it indicates a persistent issue that requires contacting the Dyson Helpline. Users are advised not to turn the machine back on if this occurs.
- General Care: Users should not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes, or air fresheners on any part of the appliance. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced or repaired by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard. The appliance should not be disassembled by the user, as incorrect reassembly can lead to electric shock or fire. In case of malfunction or damage, users should contact the Dyson Helpline for service or repair.
- Disposal Information: Dyson products are made from high-grade recyclable materials. When the machine reaches the end of its life, Dyson offers a recycling service, allowing users to send their old Dyson machine back for safe disposal.
