SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current
(50/60 hertz) only. Standard dryers are designed to operate at 110 to 125
volts AC or 220 to 250 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.
FOR DUAL VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch should be placed in the
125 position. For use in several countries overseas, the voltage selector may
need to be placed in the 250 positions. Confirm the voltage available at each
overseas location before using the appliance. For connection to a 250-volt
supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the
power supply receptacle.
FOR 110–125 VOLT OPERATION
Confirm that the dual voltage switch is set to 125 (see Fig. 1). If it is not,
then use a small coin or a paperclip to turn the switch so that the arrow
points at 125. In this position, the dryer operates on all available heat and
speed settings.
FOR 220–250 VOLT OPERATION
First, turn the speed switch to Low and the heat switch to Hot. Turn the dual voltage switch to the 250 position. At 220–250V, while the speed switch is set to Low and the heat switch is set to Hot, the dryer operates only at high speed with high heat. Do not attempt to operate/change the setting on the speed and heat switches or change to 125 position when operating on 220–250V. The switches must be set and remain in the Low (on speed switch), Hot (on heat switch), and 250 positions. A plug adapter may be necessary in certain countries.
IMPORTANT
CHECK ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY TIME YOU USE DRYER
This hair dryer 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 exclusive water-sensing system (ALCI) is working.
-
Plug in the appliance and press the test button on the plug.
-
The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and a reset button will pop out. This indicates the ALCI is functioning properly.
-
To reset ALCI, the unit should be unplugged.
-
If ALCI is not functioning properly, return hair dryer to an authorized Conair 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 to an authorized
Conair Service Center for evaluation and repair.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well-maintained. Always
treat hair right with superior-quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing
products.
DRYING BASICS
- Shampoo and condition hair with the products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry hair to remove excess moisture. Section hair. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct airflow at hair, not scalp.
- Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- To avoid over-drying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for any length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
- For quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn head upside down while drying. Position the
airflow toward the roots for maximum lift. When hair is dry, toss head back
and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a super-straight look. Using a large
round brush (approximately 2″ in diameter), hold hair taut in each section and
bend ends slightly under as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the
roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying.
