In the unlikely event that the dryer shuts off during use, please check the inlet grill for lint buildup and clean if necessary.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud of negative ions that can:
- help reduce frizz
- neutralize the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair
- eliminate static electricity
- contribute to shine
- Use the dryer in the High setting to activate the ionizing function.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
*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 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 hair dryer falls into 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 which reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the flow of electricity.
USER MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. The dryer must be kept clean for proper operating performance. 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 dryer should be wiped clean with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the dryer to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the dryer or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If the unit or the heat cycles off, turn the dryer off, unplug the cord, and allow the dryer 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 dryer.
- Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the dryer, causing it to rupture and short.
- Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or unit stops or operates intermittently.
- If the cord or dryer is damaged or does not operate properly, return it for repair to place of purchase or to an authorized BaBylissPRO® service representative only.
- No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE – IMPORTANT
When not in use, your dryer should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored
in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap line cord
around dryer. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point
of entry into the dryer.
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination. But did
you know that an electric appliance is still electrically live even if the
switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using
your appliances, keep them unplugged.
