Function Description:

The Cord Keeper 2000 Dryer is a full-size hair dryer equipped with a unique retractable cord system and a folding handle, making it ideal for small storage spaces and travel. It functions to dry hair using a DC motor and offers various heat and speed settings, including a cool shot, to facilitate different styling needs. The retractable cord feature allows the power cord to disappear inside the dryer's handle with the press of a button, enhancing convenience and tidiness.

Important Technical Specifications:

Motor Type: DC motor powered
Drying Power: 2000 watts
Heat/Speed Settings: 2 heat/speed settings
Special Features: Retractable cord button, folding handle, cool shot button, concentrator nozzle.

Usage Features:

Cord Keeper Function: To unwind the cord, pull it down gently until a red marker is visible, then stop. To rewind, press the 'retract' button while holding the plug with one hand. It's crucial to fully unwind the cord before turning on the hairdryer to prevent damage.
Folding Handle: The handle can be pushed towards the barrel to fold for compact storage or pulled into the upright position to unfold for use.
Operating Instructions:
- Ensure the switch is set to the off ('O') position before plugging into a 240V~ power outlet.
- Begin drying with the high heat/speed (II) settings.
- Switch to the low heat/speed (I) settings for styling or scrunch drying as hair dries.
- Utilize the cool shot to set the style in place.
Styling Options:
- Straight: Use the ultra-slim concentrator nozzle. Divide hair into sections, hold taut with a brush, and direct airflow down the hair shaft.
- Volume: Use the dryer without the nozzle. Flip head upside down, grasp hair at the roots, and scrunch with fingertips while drying. Finger comb when dry for a casual, tousled look.
Expert Tip: Set styles with the cool shot and finish with a light hold hair spray for extra hold.
Important Cautions:
- Hair that has been heavily bleached or chemically treated should only use the low heat setting. Consult a hairdresser for concerns about hair condition with heated appliances.
- Avoid directing hot airflow directly onto the skin (scalp, neck, ears, face) to prevent discomfort or burns.
- Always allow the dryer to cool before storing.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning & Storage:
- Always unplug the appliance immediately after use and before cleaning or maintenance.
- Allow the dryer to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
- Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance when storing, as this can cause undue strain and damage to the cord.
- Store in a location inaccessible to children.
Filter Maintenance: Blocked or clogged air intake vents can cause overheating. The rear filter should be checked and cleaned regularly with a soft brush to remove hair and debris, ensuring optimum performance and preventing overheating.
Overheating Protection: The dryer features an automatic safety device that will shut off the dryer or heat if overheating occurs. If this happens, unplug the cord, allow the dryer to cool for 15 minutes, and ensure air vents are 100% clean before restarting.
Cord Damage: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid hazards.
General Care: Do not operate if dropped, damaged, or not working correctly. Do not immerse in water or other liquids. Do not use an extension cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not block air openings or cover the appliance when switched on or hot. Avoid inserting objects into openings.
