SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
HAIR DRYER IS NOT A TOY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

IF YOU MUST USE YOR HAIR
DRYER IN THE BATHROOM,
INSTALL A GFCI* NOW!
Your local electrician can help you
decide which type is best for you
— a portable unit that plugs into
the electrical outlet, or a
permanent unit installed by your
electrician. The National
Electrical Code now requires
GFCIs in the
bathroom,
garage, and
outdoor outlet
of all new
homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and water don’t mix! If
your hair dryer falls in water
while it is plugged in, the electric
shock can kill you even if the
switch is OFF!
A regular fuse or circuit breaker
won’t protect you under these
circumstances. A GFCI offers you
far greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life!
Compared to that, the price is
small! Don’t wait… install one
now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which
reacts immediately to a small
electric current leak by stopping
the electricity flow.

CHECK ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY
TIME YOU USE THE DRYER
Due to continuous improvements,
the appearance of your Safety Plug
may vary from the illustration
above.
This unit is provided with an
appliance leakage current
interrupter (ALCI) safety device
built into the plug. This device will
make it inoperable under some
abnormal conditions such as
accidental immersion in water.
If the appliance is immersed in water, do not attempt to reset the
ALCI safety device. Please take the unit to the nearest service facility
for examination.
The ALCI safety device is equipped with a test button so that its
operation can be checked.
TO USE:
1. Press the reset button on the
ALCI safety device.
2. Plug appliance into AC
electrical outlet.
3. Then press the test button.
The reset button will pop out.
This verifies that the safety
device is operating properly.
4. Should the reset button not
pop out, do not use the unit,
Contact Consumer Service for
examination and repair
(See Warranty Section).
5. Press the reset button to re-
activate your ALCI safety
device and use your
appliance.
NOTE: Be sure to repeat this test
every time you use the hair dryer
to confirm ALCI is operational.
DRYER STOPPED
Disturbances in your electrical
current can trigger the Safety
Plug. Press the RESET Button on
the unit so it clicks. Your dryer
will resume operation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
STYLING TIPS
Freshly Shampooed Hair
Be sure to towel dry the hair before using the hair dryer. This will cut
down on styling time and simplify drying. The hair should be damp,
not dripping.
Re-Styling Dry Hair
To tame frizz or curl the hair with a styling brush, dry hair should be
misted slightly with a water bottle prior to styling. The concentrator
is helpful in directing the airflow for better control.
Concentrator
Directs the airflow while styling smaller sections of hair.
Suggested Uses: blow drying with styling brushes or velcro rollers.
Gives a smooth, professional finish to the hair.
Cool Shot Button
While using the dryer with a styling brush or velcro rollers, the Cool
Shot Button helps to set the style for longer hold after blow drying
with heat. Direct the airflow towards the desired section of hair. After
the hair is heated through, press the Cool Shot Button for 30 seconds
or until the section is cool to touch.
USING THE DRYER
Important: During initial use, you may notice a slight odor and/or
smoke. This is normal and will cease with use. If after several uses the
situation has not stopped, discontinue use and contact Consumer
Service (See Service and Repair in the Warranty Section).
This appliance is equipped with a thermostat that will cycle "OFF" if
the temperature exceeds the comfort level due to partially blocked
air inlet or air outlet openings. In the event that the appliance stops
during use, turn off the switches, and allow the appliance to cool
down at which time the thermostat will automatically reset. During
use, do not block the air openings.

Voltage Selector
For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch should be placed in
the 125 volt position. For use in several countries overseas, the
voltage selector may need to be placed in the 250 volt position.
Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using
the appliance.
IMPORTANT: For connection to a 250 volt supply, use an attachment
plug adapter (not included) of the proper configuration for the power
supply receptacle.
DRYER SETTINGS
The dryer can be set to the High or Low heat / air speed settings.
For your reference, the settings can be used for the following
instances:
High
Removing excess moisture from the hair.
Straightening coarse textured hair.
Fast drying.
Low
General purpose styling.
Smoothing medium — fine textured hair.
Heating hair set with velcro rollers.
Cool Shot Button
For longer lasting styles, press for a shot of cool air. The Cool Shot
feature operates only while the Cool Shot Button is held down. When
it is released, the dryer will return to normal operation.
Dual Voltage Switch
To change the voltage, use a pen
to move the switch to correspond
to voltage of the country. Be
certain the appliance is unplugged.
The 125-volt position is used for
the USA; several overseas countries
require 250 voltage. For 250-volt
connection, use a plug adaptor of
the proper configuration.
For countries overseas, use a pen
to switch to the corresponding
voltage of the country.

OPERATING THE DRYER
1. Plug the Hair Dryer into an AC electrical outlet.
(Use a plug adapter if necessary)
2. Test the ALCI safety feature.
3. Select the proper Voltage corresponding with the country voltage.
4. Choose the desired heat setting.
5. Turn the power on.
6. Remove moisture from the hair by moving the dryer back and forth
around your hair (keeping at least 2 inches away from the hair).
Keep the dryer in motion at all times to avoid hair damage.
7. For a smooth or rounded look, you may want to use a styling brush
before hair is completely dry. The concentrator is helpful in
directing the airflow for better control when using sections or a
styling brush.
8. When finished styling, turn off and unplug dryer.
9. Allow the dryer to cool completely before storing.
CAUTION: While the dryer is operating, never obstruct the air inlet or
outlet openings and do not place appliance on any surface.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Storage
While not in use, turn the dryer off, unplug the hair dryer, allow to
cool completely, and store out of the reach of children in a safe and
dry location. Never store it while it is hot or still plugged in. Never
wrap the cord tightly around the appliance. Never hang the dryer by
the cord. Handle the cord carefully for long life, and avoid jerking,
twisting or straining especially at plug connections.
Maintenance
Attention: Before cleaning or maintenance is done to the dryer, turn
the dryer off and unplug.
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed.
During use, untwist the cord from time to time to avoid tangling.
If any malfunction occurs, do not try to repair it yourself. Unplug the
appliance, allow it to cool and call Consumer Service for examination
and repair (See Warranty Section). This appliance has no user
serviceable parts.
Cleaning the Dryer
Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt or dust. Should dirt or oils
accumulate on the dryer, unplug the unit and wipe the exterior with a
damp cloth. Allow to dry completely before use.
Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent
From time to time, check the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent for lint
build up. Cleaning the filter and vent helps to prevent the dryer from
overheating.
