HighCharts Hide Series Name from the Legend

Question

I try to solve this problem several times and give up. Now, when I have met him again, I decided to ask for some help.

I have this code for my Legend:

legend:
{
    layout: 'vertical',
    align: 'right',
    verticalAlign: 'top',
    x: -10,
    y: 100,
    borderWidth: 0,
    
    
    
    labelFormatter: function() 
    {
        if(this.name!='Series 1')
        {
            return this.name;
        }
        else
        {
            return 'Legend';
        }
    }
}

If I change the return from 'Legend' to '' the text is not shown but still there is a 'dash' on the top of the legend. If I do not use label formater function I have 'Series 1' + 'dash' like a first row in my legend. How to hide them?

Please, note my version is : Highcharts-2.0.5

This is a simple view of my legend and the dash I want to remove:

If you don't want to show the series names in the legend you can disable them by setting showInLegend:false.

example:

series: [{
   showInLegend: false,             
   name: "<b><?php echo $title; ?></b>",
   data: [<?php echo $yaxis; ?>],
}]

You get other options here.
