Air that is too hot causes hair's outer layer to seal shut ­ trapping water inside and slowing down the drying process. The SuperSonic® dryer generates more airflow so it can use less heat to dry hair more quickly. Fast air concentrator Exclusive vent design pulls in more air for faster precision styling. Ionic conditioning Negative ions neutralize the positive ions that cause static and frizzies. Ceramic radiant heat technology Ceramic emits far-infrared, radiant heat to help dry water molecules inside the hair strand. This fast and efficient process helps prevent heat damage for less frizz and more shine. before after CeramicCoated Grille 1875 watts Fast Air Concentrator Air Intake Grille Cool Shot button Overheating This appliance is equipped with an automatic thermal limiter, which will cycle off when overheated and come back on when cooled down.

Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel ­ this creates split ends and frizziness. Turn the dryer on and set it to a high heat and speed. Remove some of the additional moisture from your hair by briskly blow drying it all over, using your fingers to "comb" through hair. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat and speed to the desired settings and begin to style. Begin at the nape of your neck and brush hair, following the movement of the brush with the dryer. Continue working your way up to your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections at a time. Once your desired style is achieved, push the Cool Shot button to set the style with a cool flow of air. For straight, smooth hair: With the dryer turned off, attach the concentrator to the end of the nozzle. Turn the driver on and brush hair from underneath using a large, round brush or paddle brush. Pull hair down until the hair is fully extended and taut. Run the dryer slowly down the length of the hair several times until dry. Repeat with all sections of hair until it is completely dried. For curly hair: Use dryer on a low heat and speed setting and move it quickly about your head. As you dry your hair, scrunch it with your favorite styling product or twirl strands of hair around your fingers to add definition. [. . . ] The LOW setting on 250 volts will provide full heat and airflow to dry your hair. A plug adapter is necessary when traveling to countries where the 220/240 volt setting is required. 220/240-volt plugs are configured differently from country to country, however, so make sure to buy the appropriate adapter for the area you're visiting (square, round, two- or three-pronged). Adapters are sold at local appliance and hardware stores at a modest cost. 8 9 28409_SSD-250_IB 7/27/05 2:20 PM Page 10 Warranty Full Four-Year Warranty Spectrum Brands, Inc. [. . . ]
