Hair Dryer OPERATION MANUAL MODEL IB-JX9KE-N Do not use the product for commercial purposes. "Plasmacluster" and "Device of a cluster of grapes" are trademarks of Sharp Corporation. *1 The digital reference standards indicated in this technology mark mean: when a humidifying air purifier with a high concentration Plasmacluster Ion Generation Unit is placed next to the wall and runs in the "middle" mode, the measured amount of the ions blow out in 1 cm3 air near (1.2 meter away) from the center of the room within an applicable area. This product carries the unit with this function. * "-B" in the machine mode indicated on the nameplate or outer packing only means that the exterior color of the product is black. Thank you for purchasing this SHARP HAIR DRYER. Please read this manual carefully before using the hair dryer.

What is "Plasmacluster" technology? Plasmacluster ions wrapped up in the water molecules Scalp � Plasmacluster is SHARP's unique technology. Plasmacluster Generating Unit generates and emits the same positive and negative ions that occur in nature by applying high voltage and a larger number of electrical discharges. Since the positive and negative ions generated are surrounded by water molecules, they can survive for extended periods. Hair Moisturization � The Plasmacluster Ion are surrounded by water molecules to form protective layer of water molecules on the surface of the hair, deeply infiltrate and moisturize your hair. Inhibition of Static Electricity � The positive and negative Ions can suppress the generation of static electricity and reduce the friction of hair, keeping your hair in a healthy and strong condition. � All the test results are provided by SHARP. The effects may vary with the seasons, surrounding environment (temperature, humidity, wind flow, etc.), time of use and personal status.

The Plasmacluster ions can moisturize your scalp when you massage it with the scalp massager. �You can take care your hair with a soft warm wind by turning on SCALP mode or with the most suitable COLD mode during the hot summer or after a bath. (Only these two modes can be selected if the scalp massager is attached.) �When you massage the scalp with the scalp massager, slide the top of the attachment slowly over the scalp and keep an appropriate pressure. It would be better to massage once a day (for no more than five minutes). (An overlong massage each day could lead to scalp injury.) From today on, let's massage your scalp by using the scalp massager. IB-JX9KE-N.indd 3 28/9/21 4:52 PM

� Did you switch to the COLD, SCALP or WARM mode? ⇒ Switch to the HOT mode. � Did you attach the scalp massager? ⇒ If you attached the scalp massager, you cannot turn on modes other than SCALP and COLD. � Did you switch to BEAUTY mode? ⇒ In BEAUTY mode, the sound volume varies because of repeated switching between WARM and COLD modes. This is not an abnormality. The temperature varies from time to time The sound volume varies from time to time � During the generation of the Plasmacluster ions, ozone are generated, which gives off a kind of smell from the air outlet. The ozone is of the same concentration as natural ozone, so it will not affect health. I am worried about the smell of the wind coming from the air outlet � The Plasmacluster ions are generated all the time when the unit operates. It can be repeatedly used if you clean it around once every two months. So it is unnecessary to replace the unit. About the Plasmacluster ions � The LED (blue) is on only when the scalp massager is attached. It is not an abnormality. The LED (blue) at the air outlet of the body is off � The light in the room where you use the fan may flicker due to the use of the fan. This situation is caused by the control of the warm wind, and is not an abnormality. If you mind this, please change outlets. The light flickers � Effects may vary depending on hair texture. Effects may not be evident if: your hair was permed recently; your hair was dyed; you have a wavy hair style; your hair is very curly; your hair is thin, short or soft. � Does the electrode part of the unit have collected dust? ⇒ Please clean it. � Is the air outlet or air inlet obstructed by dust? ⇒ Please remove the dust or other things obstructing the ports.
