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. 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.
Heat Selections and Cool Shot
This dryer is equipped with a cool shot button. To achieve the cool shot of
air, just press the button located on the front top portion of the handle. The
cool shot is ideal for locking in curl for longer lasting style. Just
concentrate cool air on desired curl until set.
How your Andis Dryer with Shock Protection Works
This Andis hair dryer has been manufactured with an APPLIANCE LEAKAGE CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (ALCI). This mechanism will shut the dryer off (making it
inoperable) under abnormal conditions, such as falling or being immersed in
water. If this appliance becomes inoperable, return it to an Andis Authorized
Service Station for examination and repair. The ALCI Shock Protection is
equipped with a test and a reset button. Below are instructions on their use.
TEST BEFORE EACH USE
-
Plug the dryer 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, the reset button should pop up. This confirms that the safety plug is working properly.
-
Now press the reset button and your dryer with the Shock Protection in the handle will be operable and the power switch of your dryer may be turned on for normal use.
-
If this appliance does not operate in the proper functioning condition, it should be either returned to an Andis Authorized Service Station for examination and repair, or discarded.

be removed for ease of cleaning excess hair and lint that can clog up a hair
dryer. To remove the grill, simply depress the wing tabs on the side of the
grill. To clean grill that has been removed from the dryer, take a small brush
and mild cleaning solution and lightly brush away excess lint and hair. Rinse
and dry. Once it is completely dry, snap grill back into place.

How to Blow Dry
Towel-pat wet hair to remove excess water and to shorten drying time; untangle
hair. Part hair into sections; blow dry hair section by section. Choose
setting that is most comfortable and that gives best results. Heat molds and
puffs up hair to give it body and fullness. The way you lift and dry damp hair
at scalp, and turn the ends, will determine the direction of the hair.
