How to Use Your Remington AS5860 Botanicals Rotating Air Styler

Preparation Steps:

• Wash and condition your hair using your regular hair care products
• Squeeze out excess moisture using a towel without aggressive rubbing
• Comb through your hair to remove tangles and ensure even drying
• Use the pre-styling nozzle to rough-dry the length and roots until approximately 80% dry
• Divide your hair into manageable sections for better styling control
• Style the lower layers first, working your way up to the crown

Creating Volume and Shape with the 50mm Rotating Brush:

• Select your desired heat setting using the speed/heat selector switch
• Activate the rotating function by pressing the right or left arrow on the rotation switch
• Place the rotating brush underneath a hair section close to the roots
• Hold the brush in position for a few seconds while lifting the hair upward
• Move the styler downward through the hair section while rotating the brush away from your head
• Continue moving the styler downward to create tension and volume
• Use the cool shot feature at the end to set your style in place

Removing and Changing Attachments:

• Align the attachment symbol with the mark on the handle
• Pull the attachment gently off the handle
• Insert your desired attachment by aligning symbols and pushing firmly until seated
• Ensure the attachment clicks into place before use

STORAGE, CLEANING, AND MAINTENANCE

• After use, turn the appliance off by moving the temperature control switch to the O position.
• Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning and storing it away.
• Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents,
• To maintain peak product performance and to prolong motor life, it is important to regularly remove any dust and dirt from the inlet grille. 
• Remove the grille as shown (fig. C), clean with a cloth or soft brush, then replace it.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: The Brush is Not Rotating

The rotating brush will only function when a temperature setting has been selected. Ensure you have slid the speed/heat selector switch to one of the three positions: BotaniCare, High, or Cool. If rotation still does not occur, check that the brush attachment is properly seated on the handle by aligning and pushing firmly until you hear a click.

Problem: Reduced Airflow or Weak Drying Power

Remove the inlet grille and clean it thoroughly of dust and hair buildup. A clogged inlet grille significantly reduces airflow efficiency. Additionally, ensure the pre-styling nozzle attachment is not blocked. If airflow remains weak, the motor may require professional servicing. Contact Remington customer support for assistance.

Problem: Hair Getting Tangled in the Brush

Ensure you are using the BotaniCare setting for delicate or finer hair types. Avoid using the high heat setting on damp hair, as this can cause excessive tangling. Always comb through your hair before styling to remove knots and tangles. If tangles persist, use the firm paddle brush instead of the rotating brush for smoother, safer styling.

Problem: Uneven Drying or Styling Results

Divide your hair into smaller, more manageable sections before styling. Ensure each section is approximately 80% dry before using the rotating brush. Move the styler slowly through each section for even heat distribution and consistent results. Work in one direction from roots to ends.

Problem: Cool Shot Feature Not Working

Verify that the speed/heat selector switch is set to the cool position. Allow the device a few seconds to transition from hot to cool air. If the cool shot feature still does not function, the device may have an internal issue requiring professional repair.

Preventive Maintenance and Care:

• Clean the removable inlet grille weekly to maintain optimal airflow
• Wipe down the brush attachment after each use to remove hair and product buildup
• Store in a cool, dry location away from moisture and heat sources
• Use the protective cover when transporting or storing the device
• Never immerse the device in water or apply water directly to electrical components
• Check the swivel cord regularly for damage or fraying

• Brush Tangling Potential: Some users report occasional hair tangling with the rotating brush, particularly with fine or curly hair types, requiring careful technique
• Limited Color Options: Available primarily in multi-colored finishes, with limited customization choices for users preferring specific aesthetic preferences
