USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a thermostat that may cycle OFF or cause the heaters to turn off if the temperature exceeds comfort level due to partially blocked air inlet or outlet openings. In the event that the appliance stops or releases only cool air 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. When using this appliance near water (e.g., bathrooms), the use of an electrical outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is recommended.
Maintenance
Your appliance is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. Keep
heated surfaces clean and free of dust, dirt, and hair spray. If cleaning
becomes necessary, unplug the appliance from the power source and wipe the
exterior with a damp cloth. If the cord becomes twisted, untwist prior to use.

STORAGE
Unplug appliance when not in use.
- Allow appliance to cool and store out of reach of children in a safe, dry location.

HOW TO OPERATE UNIT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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 force the plug into an improper outlet. For U.S. residents only: In the event of an unusual circumstance such as immersion, the protective device will not allow the dryer to operate. Periodically check the safety plug to verify it is in proper working order. Plug the appliance in an electrical outlet and press the test button. The dryer should stop immediately. To resume operation, press the reset button.
Styling Tips
- For faster results, towel dry hair to remove excess water, then run a comb through damp hair to detangle for best results.
- Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet and adjust the switch to the selected setting. Use the LOW setting on fine or thin hair and the HIGH setting on thick and coarse hair. Use the COOL setting to lock in the style.
- Separate hair into manageable sections.
For Voluminous Blowouts
- Use the Blowout Volumizer attachment, place the dryer close to the roots and brush down toward the ends.
- The mixed nylon-pin with rounded tips quickly detangle, while combined Boartech2TM bristles with Refresh3 MaxTM activated charcoal gently grip hair to smooth and promote shine.
- For extra lift at the roots, hold the dryer for 2 to 3 seconds under the roots.
- To curl ends IN, place the dryer UNDER the ends and hold for 2 to 3 seconds before rotating inward.
- To curl ends OUT, place the dryer OVER the ends and hold for 2 to 3 seconds before rotating outward.
- When drying is complete, wait for the dryer to cool before storing. Do not wrap the cord around the dryer.
- Wait for the dryer to cool before removing the attachments and storing. Do not wrap the cord around the dryer.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
If cleaning becomes necessary, unplug the appliance from the power source and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dust and lint can be removed from air intake openings with a small brush or vacuum cleaner brush attachment. DO NOT wash in water or allow moisture or additional debris to enter the unit while cleaning.

NOTICE
If your dryer unexpectedly stops, or if it is not blowing hot air, turn it
off, unplug it and CLEAN THE LINT FILTER while waiting 5 minutes for the dryer
to cool down. Then press the red ”reset” button on the ALCI safety plug until
it clicks. Your dryer should resume operation
*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 a GFCI in the bathroom, 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 far greater protection.
