fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.

SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained. Always treat
hair well with superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing
products.
DRYING BASICS
- Shampoo and condition hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry hair to remove excess moisture. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower setting and direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct airflow at hair, not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaways and contribute to your hair’s shine.
- Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- To avoid over-drying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for an extended length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style. For pinpoint airflow, use the snap-on concentrator attachment.
- For quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
- When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with Cool Shot feature to close hair shaft and lock in style.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn head upside down while drying. Position the
airflow toward the roots for maximum lift. When hair is dry, toss head back
and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a super-straight look. Using a large
round brush (approximately 2″ in diameter), hold hair taut in each section and
bend ends slightly under as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the
roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying.

…can save a life!
*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 GFCls 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!
- A GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.
USER MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. For proper
operating performance, the dryer must be kept clean.
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 turns 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 circuit.
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 an authorized Conair 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.
