OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current
(60 hertz) only. This dryer is designed to operate at 125/240 volts AC.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this 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 does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
AUTOMATIC DUAL VOLTAGE
This appliance will automatically adjust to the proper voltage.
For use in several countries overseas, the voltage will automatically change
to 240 volts. Voltage will be indicated on LED readout as 125 in green and 240
in blue. For connection to a 240-volt supply, use an attachment plug adapter
of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.
IMPORTANT
1875 WATT OPERATING GUIDE
Use of this dryer on the same circuit or fuse with other electrical products
or appliances may trip a 15 amp circuit breaker or blow a 15 amp fuse.
NEVER replace the fuse with one rated higher than the capacity of the
circuit. Doing so could result in an electrical fire.
CHECK ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY TIME YOU USE DRYER
This hair dryer is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter
(ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under some ab normal
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 ex clusive water sensing
system (ALCI) is working.
-
Plug in the appliance and press test button on plug.
-
The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and reset button will pop out. This indicates the ALCI is functioning properly.
-
To reset ALCI, unit should be unplugged. Then push reset button in and reinsert plug into outlet.
-
If ALCI is not functioning properly, return appliance to nearest service center.
-
It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.
-
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, this could
indicate a malfunction in the unit. Remove plug from outlet and allow the
appliance to cool. Reinsert plug into outlet.
The appliance should then function normally. If not, return it to an
authorized Conair Service Center for evaluation and repair.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained. Always treat
hair right with superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing
products.
DRYING BASICS
- Shampoo and condition hair with the products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-blot hair to remove excess moisture. Section hair. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, 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.
- Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- To avoid overdrying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for an extended length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
- 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.
GET TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The Conair ® 1875 Watt Worldwide Travel Dryer with dual voltage is very
effective, even at lower temperatures, and helps create healthier-looking,
shiny, more manageable hair with maximum styling control.
SMART VOLTAGE TECHNOLOGY detects foreign voltage and adjusts
automatically while maintaining full power. LED indicator light shows green
for 125V and blue for 240V.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud of negative ions that can:
- help reduce frizz
- contribute to shine
TOURMALINE CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
will keep your hair healthy-looking and shiny. It generates full spectrum,
infrared heat, and ions which work on hair molecules to dry them inside and
out. This drying process is gentle and quick; it minimizes heat damage and
makes hair less frizz and more manageable.

INTERRUPTERS
…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 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 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, 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 cycles 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. 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.
