SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current
(60 hertz) only. Standard hot air stylers are designed to operate at 110 to
125 volts AC.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will fit in 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.
NOTE: Do not use this styling appliance on hair extensions.
CHECK ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY TIME YOU USE APPLIANCE
This appliance is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter
(ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under some abnormal
conditions, such as immersion in water. To make sure the ALCI is functioning
properly, perform the following test. The purpose of this test is to allow you
to make sure the water sensing system (ALCI) is working.
- Plug in the appliance and press test button on plug (see diagram).
- The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and reset button will pop out. This indicates the ALCI is functioning properly.
- To reset ALCI with a reset button, unplug unit. Then push reset button in and reinsert plug into outlet.
- If ALCI is not functioning properly, return appliance to service center.
- It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.
- Be sure to repeat test every time you use the unit to confirm ALCI is operational.
Should the appliance go off and the reset button pop up during use, this could
indicate a malfunction in the unit. Remove plug from outlet and allow the
appliance to cool. Reinsert plug into outlet.
The appliance should then function normally. If not, return it to an
authorized Conair Service Center for evaluation and repair.
IONIC TECHNOLOGY
Many aspects of modern living, including air-conditioning, contact with man-
made fibers and air pollution contribute to a buildup of static electricity in
the hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair can increase these levels,
causing the surface of the cuticle to become rough.
Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. Also, high levels of static
charge cause hair to become flyaway and difficult to style.
The ion generator produces a stream of negative ions that act to neutralize
the static charge, smoothing the scales on the cuticle for shiny, smooth and
manageable hair, so you can achieve your desired style easily.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION
Generates negative ions to:
- Neutralize the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair
- Eliminate static electricity
- Contribute to shine
NOTE: The unit may produce a clicking sound at times, which is normal for a high output ion generator.
GETTING STARTED
After shampooing your hair, towel-dry and use the dryer handle without the
attachment to remove excess moisture from hair. Use a large-toothed comb to
carefully untangle hair. Always start untangling your wet hair at the tips,
then gradually work your way up to the scalp. Gentle untangling prevents split
ends from forming. You may now finish drying and styling your hair using your
hot air styler. Make sure your attachment is locked into place. Plug styler
into outlet. Slide switch to turn appliance on and off.

GET TO KNOW YOUR STYLER
TO STYLE HAIR
- After detangling hair, section damp hair into 4 to 8 equal parts, depending on hair type.
- Select heat setting based on hair type and desired effect.
- Place the paddle brush attachment into the hair, close to the roots, and brush through the section.
- For added root lift and volume: Place the brush underneath the hair section close to the roots with the bristles pointing upward. Use your other hand to pull the hair section taut against the silicone paddle until the bristles penetrate through the hair.
- FOR MORE VOLUME: Turn your head upside down while you brush/dry.

INTERRUPTERS
…can save a life
IMPORTANT
Never immerse this product in water or any other liquids.
*IF YOU MUST USE YOUR HOT AIR STYLER 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 bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hot air styler falls in water while
it’s 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 that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- Unplug the appliance and let cool completely before cleaning it.
- Use a damp cloth to clean carefully. Make sure the appliance is completely dry before using again.
- The rear filter should be cleaned on a regular basis using a soft brush to help prevent buildup and overheating. This will also prolong the motor life.
USER MAINTENANCE
Your hot air styler is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed.
For proper operating performance, the hot air styler must be kept clean. When
cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, allow to cool and clean dust and lint
from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment of a
vacuum cleaner. The outer surface of the hot air styler should be wiped clean
with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the hot air
styler to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will
shut the hot air styler or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury.
If the unit or the heat turns off, unplug the cord and allow the hot air
styler to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting. Make sure the air vents
are clean.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the hot air styler. Damage will occur at
the high flex point of entry into the hot air styler, causing it to rupture
and short circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use
immediately if damage is visible or unit stops or operates intermittently.
If the cord or hot air styler is damaged or does not operate properly, return
it for repair to an authorized Conair service representative only. No repairs
should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE – IMPORTANT
When not in use, your hot air styler should be disconnected, allowed to cool
and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap line
cord around hot air styler. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight
at the point of entry into the hot air styler.
