iQ perfetto
All IQ hair dryers have been tested under high-stress conditions: maximum speed and maximum temperature. After one hour of uninterrupted use, the handle reaches a temperature of 40°. This temperature, which is only 3° higher than our body temperature, should not be considered abnormal, dangerous or uncomfortable: it is simply due to the normal heating of the NTC (thermistor) and the EMI (power line filter), located in the handle.
During the first use of the hairdryer, there may be a momentary leakage of smoke. This is due to the oily protective coating around the heating coils in the hairdryer, which does not pose a danger to the user and does not indicate a malfunction of the appliance. Any smoke that may have been released will disappear after some uses, – as soon as the small amount of oil has completely evaporated.
Before activating the hairdryer, make sure that it has been used without the lock function, i.e. without having placed the switch on the padlock symbol. Therefore, to start the auto-cleaning procedure, you must have run the hairdryer for a few seconds with any speed and temperature setting. Otherwise, auto-cleaning will not start. To activate the self-cleaning function, the hairdryer must be switched off in position 0. The self-cleaning function allows you to clean the internal components of the hairdryer: read the paragraph “AUTO-CLEAN FUNCTION” in the user manual or watch our video about it by clicking here.
Most likely the hairdryer is set to lock, i.e. the switch is positioned on the padlock symbol. It is necessary to move the button to the “I” position so that you can change the speed and temperature settings.
The IQ hair dryer has a memory function, i.e. it can remember the temperature and speed used during the previous drying process. When IQ is switched on again, it, therefore, offers a combination of settings from the last previous use.
The temperature button is flanked by a thermometer symbol, while the one that regulates the airflow speed is indicated by a fan symbol.
To increase the airflow speed, simply press the button at the top. To reduce the flow, on the other hand, you must press the switch at its bottom. The LEDs are white.
To increase the temperature just press the button on top of it. On the contrary, to decrease the temperature, it is necessary to press the key at its bottom. The LEDs are red.
After setting the desired airflow speed and temperature, move the switch to the lock position indicated by the padlock symbol. This will prevent you from accidentally changing your settings.
Absolutely: the “Cold Air Stroke” button can be used anyway.
Yes, this is normal and is the correct way in which they should be mounted on the hairdryer. The accessories must be inserted gently, without giving too much force and in such a way as to leave a thin space between the metal ring on the front of the hairdryer and the accessory itself. The IQ accessories have a conical, non-traditional (mechanical or magnetic) attachment that allows the nozzles to be fixed firmly simply by applying slight pressure.
If the hair is not properly protected from external agents, the free radicals will be responsible for a gradual opacification of the molecules that regulate the color of the hair, reducing its shine. The Oxy-Active technology, thanks to the emission of active oxygen, guarantees two very important benefits for hair care: it generates the necessary protection against external environmental agents, guaranteeing a more lasting coloring, and it allows deep cleaning of the scalp, restoring the optimal conditions for hair growth.
It is a phenomenon of physics that we have been able to recreate thanks to the form of IQ. The air outlet of the hairdryer is designed to multiply the flow delivered by the motor. Thanks to it, the hairdryer spreads a higher airflow, without consuming additional energy.
The hairdryer is equipped with an error detection function: if a problem is diagnosed, this function will prevent the appliance from turning on or will interrupt its operation. The LEDs of the appliance will indicate the problem encountered: for this, please refer to the Self-diagnosis section included in the manual.
iQ works in all European countries with a voltage of 220-240 V~. it can be equipped with a different plug depending on the whether you use in the UK or the rest of Europe.
