WARNING

• To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury to persons:
• An appliance should never be left unattended when it’s plugged in.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by, on, or near children or individuals with certain disabilities or special needs.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by manufacturer.

Safety Instructions

ALCI Safety Device
This hair dryer is provided with an appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI) safetydevice built into the plug. This device is designed to make the unit inoperable under some abnormal conditions, such as accidental immersion in water. The ALCI safety device is equipped with a test button so that its operation can be checked. This unit should be tested before each use to confirm that the safety device is operational.

To test:
After plugging in your hair dryer:

• Press the reset button on the ALCI device.
• Press the test button. The reset button will pop out. This verifies that the safety device is operating properly.
• Press the reset button to reactivate your ALCI safety device.
• Your hair dryer is now ready for use.

Note : This unit may automatically trip when unplugged. If so, the unit must be reset after it is plugged in. If the dryer doesn’t reset after following the above testing procedure, call 800-736-4648.

• Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e., reset button pops out) during use, press the reset button. Should the hair dryer fail to reset, call 800-736-4648. Never operate this appliance if it has been dropped in water.
• The dryer is designed to work on ordinary household current only, 125 volts A.C., 60 Hz. It is not intended for commercial use.
• This appliance is equipped with an automatic thermal limiter, which will cycle off when overheated and come back on when cooled down. If the unit cycles off, unplug the cord for several minutes before restarting.
• 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.

*If you must use your 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 GFCI’s in bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets 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’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 greater protection.

Product Features

How To Use

Basic Drying Techniques

• Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel
  • this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.
• Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer into an electrical outlet.
• Turn the dryer on and set it to a high heat and speed. Remove some of the additional moisture from your hair by briskly blow drying it all over, using your fingers to “comb” through hair.
• When hair is almost dry, lower the heat and speed to the desired settings and begin to style.
• Divide hair into manageable sections. Begin at the nape of your neck and brush hair, following the movement of the brush with the dryer. Continue working your way up to your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections at a time.

For straight, smooth hair:
Brush hair from underneath using a large, round brush or paddle brush. Pull hair down until the hair is fully extended and taut. Run the dryer slowly down the length of the hair several times until dry. Repeat with all sections of hair until it is completely dried.

For curly hair:
With the dryer turned off, attach the diffuser to the end of the nozzle. Use the dryer on a low heat and speed setting and move it quickly about your head. As you dry your hair, scrunch it with your favorite styling product or twirl strands of hair around your fingers to add definition. When finished drying, lock in the style with the Cool Shot.

Cool Shot:
The Cool Shot sets the style by blowing a cool stream of air. Press and hold the cool shot button to set style. Release the button to return to warm air flow.

Hair Care Tips

• Keep the dryer about 8 inches away from your head to avoid burning scalp or damaging hair.
• Always keep the dryer pointed down the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and create a silky, shiny style.
• To help prevent heat damage and add shine, spritz damp hair with a heat protection spray before blow drying.
• To create a style with lots of body, apply volumizing mousse to towel dried hair.
• Distribute it evenly from roots to ends, then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft, shiny, and full of volume.
• For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry, finish by running a straightening iron over dried hair.
• For a quick touch-up between shampoos, mist hair to dampen it, then style with dryer
