SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLID USE
OPERA TING 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.
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.
VOLTAGE SELECTION
First, be sure switch is in the “Off” position before attempting to change
voltage selection. To set to the required voltage, turn selector until slot is
in line with dot above required voltage marking. 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 may need to be placed in the
240 volt position. Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location
before using the appliance. When operating at 240 volts, the unit will only
work with the switch in position “LO” . This setting will provide high heat
and high blower speed. Do not try to operate with the switch in position “HI”
when operating at 240 volts. For connection to a 240 volt supply, use an
attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply
receptacle.
HOW YOUR ANDIS DRYER WITh SHOCK PROTECTION WORKS
This Andis hair dryer has been manufactured with an APPLIANCE LEAKAGE CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (ALCI) safety plug. 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 Plug is
equipped with a test and a reset button. Below are instructions on their use.
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, 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 Plug 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.
To REMOVE AIR INTAKE GRILL
This Andis dryer is equipped with a removable air intake grill. This grill may
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. Grill and foam filter are two separate pieces, be sure not to lose
filter when cleaning. 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 both pieces.
Be sure that both pieces are completely dry before returning it to the dryer.
Once they are completely dry, position the foam filter in place and snap grill
back into place.

CLEANING

- Clean the external surfaces of the hair dryer with sponge or soft rag moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use harsh cleaners, detergents, or solvents.
- Dry the hair dryer thoroughly before use.

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.
