Caution

  • Keep your hands away from the air outlet as it may cause burns.

  • Only use the hair dryer for the intended purposes. Do not use it for infants.
  • If the hair dryer is damaged, stop using it.
  • Avoid touching the attachments as they become hot during and after use.
  • Make sure hair does not get sucked into the air inlets.
  • Be careful about where you point the hair dryer, and be sure to keep your hair at least 10 cm away from the air inlet. Failure to do so may result in your hair becoming sucked in and trapped in the hair dryer.
  • Please keep a distance of over 3 cm between the air outlet and your hair. Failure to do so may result in your hair being burned.
  • Avoid using thinner, benzine, or any other solvent to clean the hair dryer.
  • This hair dryer is equipped with an automatic overheating protective device. If the hair dryer overheats, it will switch to cool airflow mode. Switch off the hair dryer and unplug it from the power socket. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes before using it again. Check that no fluff, hair etc. is in the air inlets and outlets before switching it on again.

Important

Please read the safety instructions before using this hair dryer. The safety instructions explained here help you to use this hair dryer safely and correctly, and also to prevent you from injuring yourself or others.
WARNING: Not following the instructions below may cause fire, burns, explosion, short circuiting or electric shock.

Electrical Conditions 

WARNING: This symbol with prohibition sign in red on the appliance means “Do not use this appliance near water”. Do not use this hair dryer near bathtub, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.

  • Always switch off the hair dryer (“0” position) after use and before unplugging it from the power socket. Unplug it from the power socket when not in use. Always grasp the plug while unplugging. Failure to do so may lead to fire and/or an accident.
  • Before connecting the hair dryer, check that the voltage of the hair dryer corresponds to the local voltage.
  • Avoid cutting, damaging, or modifying the cord. Avoid pulling, twisting, or bending the cord with unnecessary force. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cord or allow it to get pinched in between objects. Wrapping the cord around the hair dryer may cause fire and/or electric shock. If the cord is damaged or becomes hot, stop using it immediately.
  • When the hair dryer is used in a bathroom, unplug it after use since the proximity of water presents a hazard even when the hair dryer is switched off.
  • For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice.

Using the hair dryer

  • Stop using it immediately if the hair dryer does not produce air constantly and the cord or plug is damaged or becomes hot; or the plug fits loosely in the outlet.
  • Never insert foreign objects into or otherwise block either the air inlet or outlet. Avoid using the hair dryer near inflammable materials such as benzine, paint thinner, spray, etc.
  • Only use the appliance when the hands are dry.
  • Use and place the hair dryer only in a dry location. Never submerge the hair dryer in water.
  • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

How to use the hair dryer

Select the intensity of the airflow with the main switch.

Notes
If you want to dry your hair quickly, set the quick-dry nozzle in the direction shown in the illustration.

Repair and maintenance of the hair dryer

  • Only qualified personnel should repair or disassemble the hair dryer.
  • If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. If the cord or plug is damaged, stop using it immediately and contact an authorized Panasonic service center.
  • When the hair dryer is blowing hot air, occasionally air may turn  cool or sparks may be seen. In such cases, dust may have accumulated at the air inlet and/or the air outlet. Also, the air inlet may be being blocked by your hair, hands, etc. (This phenomenon is the result of the hair dryer’s thermal switch. The sparks do not pose a danger in and/or themselves.) Slide the main switch to the “0” position and remove any dust that has accumulated.

Maintenance of air outlet and air inlet (once a month or more)

  • To clean the air outlet, set the main switch to “1”, and rake out with a brush while cool air is blowing out.
  • To clean the air inlet, set the main switch to “0” and, with the airflow stopped, remove dust and hairs using a brush or vacuum cleaner.
  • Be careful since dust may spray out.
  • When dust clogs the mesh, the thermostat switch will operate, frequently switching to cool airflow and reducing the drying/set performance.
  • The thermostat switch is a protective device. Sparks may be seen during operation but these do not present any danger.
