IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for household use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Standard curling appliances are designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts AC.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

CHECK ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY TIME YOU USE APPLIANCE.

This appliance is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under some abnormal conditions, such as immersion in water.

To make sure the ALCI is functioning properly, perform the following test. The purpose of this test is to allow you to make sure the water sensing system (ALCI) is working.

1. Plug in the appliance and press test button on plug (see appropriate diagram at right).
2. The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and reset button will pop out.
3. To reset ALCI with a reset button, unit should be unplugged. Then push in reset button and reinsert plug into outlet.

4. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return appliance to nearest service center.
5. It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.
6. Be sure to repeat test every time you use the unit, to confirm ALCI is operational.

Should the appliance go off and the reset button pop up during use, it could indicate a malfunction in the unit. Remove plug from outlet and allow the hot air brush to cool. Make surer air inlet vents are clear. Reinsert plug into outlet.

STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE TOURMALINE CERAMIC-COATED BARREL

Your new hot air brush has 1000 watts of styling power. The 1 ¼ in. bristle brush barrel of your new hot air brush has a satin finish, easy-glide tourmaline ceramic-coated surface, the newest in hair care technology.
This means it’s not only simpler to clean off styling product residue, etc., after each use, but you’ll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the nonstick barrel as you’re styling. The tourmaline ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. Natural ions are emitted to reduce frizz for beautiful, shiny smooth results. As you wind each strand around the barrel, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shiny finish. Hair easily slips right off the barrel after it’s styled.
The new tourmaline ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with. It makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional.

TO AVOID TANGLING, NEVER ROLL THE HAIR AROUND THE HOT AIR BRUSH MORE THAN TWO TIMES. USE A SMALL SECTION OF HAIR AT A TIME.

HOW TO STYLE WITH YOUR HOT AIR BRUSH

Partially dry hair by either blow-drying or letting the hair dry naturally. When hair is almost dry, use the 1 ¼ in. brush to create lift, volume and large, soft curls.

Beginning at the crown area, take a section of hair and place the 1 ¼ in. brush near the root area. Slide the hot air brush toward the ends, then wind toward the root area. Hold for approximately 10 seconds, then gently unwind the hair without tension. Continue throughout the hair until styled as desired.

NOTE: To achieve maximum body, fullness and curl, apply styling gel to the root area and styling mousse to the ends. Then take small sections of the hair, and curl them with the 1 ¼” barrel of the hot air brush.

USE OF THE CONCENTRATOR NOZZLE

Attaches easily to styler, directing airflow onto a small section of hair. Build volume by directing the airflow at roots, against the natural growth pattern.

USE OF THE ¾” NATURAL BOAR AND NYLON BRISTLE BRUSH

Position the brush under hair, close to the roots. Slide it down to hair ends. This will give perfect shape to your hair style, while bristles and hot air create a polished finish and add shine.

…can save a life!

*IF YOU MUST USE YOUR APPLIANCE 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 GFCIs 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 hot air brush 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. It will provide you with more protection than you get with your safety device.

USER MAINTENANCE

Your appliance is virtually maintenance free. For proper performance, the appliance must be kept clean. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the appliance to overheat. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, allow to cool and clean dust and lint from air intake openings. The outer surface of the appliance should be wiped clean with a cloth only. If abnormal conditions occur, unplug the appliance, allow it to cool and return it for repair to an authorized service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.

CAUTION – NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled or twisted. Never wrap the cord around the appliance. Damage will occur at the high-flex point of entry into the appliance, causing it to rupture and short circuit.

Inspect the cord frequently for damage. STOP USE IMMEDIATELY if damage is visible or if unit stops or operates intermittently.

STORAGE

When not in use, your appliance should be disconnected and stored in a safe, dry location out of reach of children. Do not jerk the line cord or wrap it around the appliance. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the appliance.

WARNING:
IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

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.

ALWAYS UNPLUG SMALL APPLIANCES
