If your hot air styler falls in 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 that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.16.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance and let cool completely before cleaning it. Use a damp cloth to clean carefully. Make sure the appliance is completely dry before using again. The rear filter should be cleaned on a regular basis using a soft brush to help prevent buildup and overheating. This will also prolong the motor life.

Your hot air styler is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operating performance, the hot air styler 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 hot air styler should be wiped clean with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the hot air styler to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the hot air styler or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If the unit or the heat turns off, unplug the cord and allow the hot air styler to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting. Make sure the air vents are clean.

  1. Plug in the appliance and press test button on plug.
  2. The appliance will stop working.
  3. There will be an audible click and reset button will pop out.
  4. This indicates the ALCI is functioning properly.
  5. To reset ALCI with a reset button, unit should be unplugged.
  6. Then push reset button in and reinsert plug into outlet.
  7. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return appliance to service center.
  8. It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.

  11. Remove plug from outlet and allow the appliance to cool. Reinsert plug into outlet.
  12. The appliance should then function normally.
  13. If not, return it to an authorized Conair Service Center for evaluation and repair.

CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply-cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord tightly around the hot air styler. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the hot air styler, 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 hot air styler 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 hot air styler should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap line cord around hot air styler. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the hot air styler.

DOUBLE CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

The barrel of your 1¼ hot air styler brush has an Easy-Glide™ double ceramic- coated surface, the newest technology. This double ceramic-coated surface helps to smooth down flyaways. As you wind each strand around the barrel, it evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon perfect, silky smooth, shiny finish. Hair glides easily ovethe surface of the barrel. Any residue from styling products that builds up on the ceramic-coated barrel can be easily cleaned.

GETTING STARTED

After shampooing your hair, towel-dry and untangle it carefully with a large- toothed comb. Always start untangling your wet hair at the tips, then gradually work your way up. Gentle untangling prevents split ends from forming. Now finish drying and styling your hair using your hot air styler. Make sure your desired attachment is locked into place. Plug styler into outlet. Slide switch to turn appliance on and off. To avoid tangling, never roll the hair around the hot air brush more than two times. Also, use a small section of hair at a time.

WARNING
IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE WRONG. KEEP AWAY FROM WATER.

ALWAYS UNPLUG SMALL APPLIANCES

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.
