SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, the 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 doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If this unit shuts itself off, first press the reset button on the ALCI plug. If it still does not run, the thermal protectors that are built into this dryer may have operated. If the unit still does not run after being allowed to cool, return the unit for servicing.
ALCI SHOCK PROTECTION
This Andis hair dryer has been manufactured with an appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI) (Figure A) This mechanism will shut the dryer off (making it inoperable) under abnormal conditions, such as falling or being immersed in water. The ALCI shock protection is equipped with a test and a reset button.
TEST BEFORE EACH USE
- Plug the ALCI Shock Protection Plug into a 110-120 volt electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not attempt to use any other electrical outlet.
- Before attempting to switch the dryer on, perform the following test: Press the test button, and the reset button should pop up. This confirms that the safety plug is working properly.
- Now press the reset button and your dryer will be operable and the power switch of your dryer may be turned on for normal use.
- If the dryer does not operate properly, it should be either returned to an Andis-authorized service station for examination or discarded.
VOLTAGE SELECTION
Be sure the dryer is OFF before attempting to change the voltage selection. To set the required voltage, slide the voltage selector switch (on the side of the dryer) to the appropriate voltage marking (Figure B). For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch should be placed in the 125-volt position. For use in several countries overseas, the voltage selector switch may need to be placed in the 250-volt position. Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using the dryer.
When operating at 250 volts, the unit will only work with the switch in position LOW. This setting will provide high heat and high blower speed. Do not try to operate with the switch in position HIGH when operating at 250 volts. For connection to a 250-volt supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.
AIR/HEAT SETTINGS
At the 125-volt position, there are 3 air/heat settings: LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH (Figure C). Note the MEDIUM and HIGH settings have the same airflow speed, however, the HIGH uses a higher temperature setting for faster drying. At the 250-volt position, only the LOW setting is available.
COOL SHOT
This dryer is equipped with a cool shot button (Figure C). To deliver a cool shot of air, press the button on the front side of the handle. The cool shot is ideal for locking in curl for a longer longer-lasting style. Just concentrate cool air on the desired curl until set.
USING ATTACHMENTS
This dryer comes with an attachment brush, a wide-tooth, and a fine-tooth attachment comb. To use an attachment, simply slide on and slide off of the dryer (Figure D).
CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
This dryer uses ceramic technology to provide healthier hair compared to standard dryers. Ceramic technology also helps keep the heat even and consistent, to reduce drying times and minimize stress and damage to the hair.
USER MAINTENANCE
This appliance does not require special maintenance, cleaning, or lubrication. Service only through Andis authorized service stations.
