This document is an instruction manual for the Livoo Ionic Hair Dryer, model DOS174, version 1.5, in English. The manual emphasizes safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure user satisfaction and product longevity.
Function Description:
The Livoo Ionic Hair Dryer is designed for drying and styling hair. Its primary function is to blow air, which can be adjusted for temperature and speed, to dry hair efficiently. A key feature is the "Ionic Function," which diffuses negative ions to counteract static electricity that can build up during drying. This results in softer, shinier hair and improved style manageability. The hair dryer includes a concentrator nozzle for focused airflow and an air diffuser for more even drying and volume.

Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the hair dryer:
- Cleaning:
- Always disconnect the hair dryer from the mains supply before cleaning.
- Use a damp cloth for cleaning and wipe dry to preserve the finish.
- Abrasive cleansers should not be used.
- The inlet filter (B) should be frequently cleaned to remove any trapped hair or fluff. This prevents overheating and ensures optimal performance.
- Storage:
- Ensure the cable is not twisted, pulled, kinked, or wound tightly around the dryer. Untwist the cable before use if necessary.
- Do not pinch the cable in cupboard doors or pull it over hot surfaces to avoid damage to the insulation.
- The hanging loop (F) facilitates easy storage.
- Troubleshooting Overheating: If the appliance overheats and switches off automatically (due to blocked air intakes), turn it off completely and allow it to cool for 6 to 15 minutes before using it again.
- General Care:
- Regularly check the appliance, especially the cable, for any damages, defective, or porous locations.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquids.
- Do not use the appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins, or other vessels containing water. If used in a bathroom, unplug it after use as proximity to water is a hazard even when switched off.
- Keep jewelry chains away from the air inlet to prevent them from being drawn into the appliance.
Safety Instructions (Summarized):
The manual provides extensive safety warnings, including:
- Electrical Safety: Check voltage compatibility, do not use with damaged cords, never immerse in water, unplug after use, and consider installing a residual current device (RCD) in bathroom circuits.
- Child Safety: Keep packaging material away from children, and children aged 8 and above should only use the appliance under supervision.
- Heat Safety: Air outlet and attachments can become very hot; allow them to cool before touching. Do not use on artificial hair due to fire risk.
