If the plug cannot be inserted fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
This appliance is also provided with an ALCI protective device that may make the appliance inoperable under some abnormal conditions (such as immersion of the appliance). If the appliance becomes inoperable, return the appliance to a service center for examination and repair. Each time the appliance is used, check the safety plug to verify it is in proper working order. Plug the appliance in an electrical outlet and press the test button. The hair dryer should stop immediately. To resume operation, press the reset button.

About nanoeTM
What is nanoeTM?

(nanoeTM, generation method: high voltage discharge) nanoeTM is generated by collecting the available moisture in the air, so depending on the usage environment, nanoeTM may not be generated. In environments of low temperature and low humidity, moisture in the air becomes difficult to collect. When this occurs, negative ions are generated. nanoeTM is an ion wrapped in water that are invisible to the human eye.
How nanoeTM works
Generally, hair has properties that make it easy to become positively charged with electricity. These properties attract strongly negatively charged nanoeTM which penetrates the hair with moisture. Furthermore, they make the hair slightly acidic, tighten cuticles and keep your hair strong, elastic, and healthy.
Panel effect
When nanoeTM continues to strike hair, hair becomes negatively charged. As a result, the nanoeTM and negatively charged hair repel each other, making it difficult for nanoeTM to reach hair. With the nanoeTM Charge System, by just gripping the panel together with the handle, the negative charge accumulated on hair is released. Because of this, nanoeTM continues to penetrate into hair, supplying moisture and thoroughly moistening down to the tips of the hair.

Maintenance of the hairdryer

Always turn the power switch off and disconnect the plug from the household outlet. (Except when performing maintenance on the air outlet)

Maintaining the main body

Do this when dirty
To clean the hairdryer (when it is dirty), soak a cloth in the soapy water and squeeze it out firmly, then wipe with the cloth.
Notes

• Do not use substances such as alcohol, nail polish remover or detergent (hand soap). Doing so may result in malfunction or part cracks or discoloration.
• Do not leave the appliance with hairdressing products or cosmetics on it. Doing so will cause deterioration of the plastic, leading to discoloration and cracks.

Maintaining the nanoeTM outlet

• Use commercially available cotton swabs. (We recommend the thin cotton swabs made for use with babies.)
• This maintenance allows the hairdryer to sustain the generated level of nanoeTM over a long period.
  

1. Dampen the end of the cotton swab with tap water.
2. A needle portion is located deep within the nanoeTM outlet. Using the swab, rub

Maintaining the air inlet

Clean the air inlet once a month or over.

• When dust etc. has built up, detach the filter from the hairdryer and remove the dust etc. using a toothbrush or vacuum cleaner.
• Use a commercially available toothbrush.
  

1. Pull on the catch on the bottom side of the filter to the bottom side of the filter to detach.
2. Remove any dust etc. adhered to the filter or air inlet grille.
   · Remove the dust etc. adhered to the outside of the filter using a vacuum cleaner. If this does not remove the dust, use the thick part of your fingers to push the dust, etc. through the fine mesh on the internal side towards the metal mesh on the external side, and scrub away carefully with a toothbrush.
   · Using the toothbrush, carefully scrub away any dust, etc. from the internal side of the filter.
   · Using a vacuum cleaner or toothbrush, carefully remove any dust, etc. adhered to the air inlet.
   · Rubbing forcefully with your nails may tear the filter, so please use a toothbrush.
3.  Attach the filter securely, starting with the upper side.
   · Keep pressing until you hear a “click” from both upper and lower catches.

Maintaining the air outlet

• The hair dryer should be plugged into the household outlet only in case of maintenance for the air outlet.
• Use a commercially available toothbrush.
• Switch the temperature selector to “COOL” and blow away the dust etc. as you scrub with the toothbrush.
• During maintenance, do not block the air inlet with your hands, etc.
• Be careful when using the hairdryer for the first time after maintenance, since it may blow out dust etc.
  Scrub to remove any dust, hair, etc. blocking the mesh.

Troubleshooting

If the problems still cannot be solved, contact the store where you purchased the unit or a service center authorized by Panasonic for repair.

Specifications

This message about…

…can save a life!

If YOU MUST USE YOUR HAIRDRYER IN THE BATHROOM, INSTALL A GFCI* NOW!
Your local electrician can help you decide which type is best for you- a portable unit that plugs into the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed by your electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires GFCIs in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?

Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls in water while it’s plugged in, the electric shock can kill you…even if the switch is “off”. A regular fuse or circuit breaker won’t protect you under these circumstances. A GFCI offers you far greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life! Compared to that, the price is small!! Don’t wait …install one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This hair dryer is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operating performance, the hairdryer must be kept clean. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface of the hairdryer should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only. This hair dryer should be stored out of reach of children.
Warning ­ To prevent the risk of electric shock, personal injury, or fire, observe the following:

• Do not perform any servicing. This hair dryer has no user-serviceable parts.
• Never allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent.
• Never wrap the cord tightly around the hairdryer. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the hairdryer, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if the damage is visible or the unit stops or operates intermittently.
