OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for professional use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Standard dryers are designed to operate at 110-125 or 220-250 volts A.C.
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 DRYER.
This hair dryer 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 exclusive water sensing system (ALCI) is working.

1. Plug in hair dryer and press test button on plug (see appropriate diagram).
2. Hair dryer will stop working. There will be an audible click and reset button will pop out.
3. T o reset ALCI with a reset button: Unit should be unplugged. Then push reset button in, and reinsert plug into outlet.
4. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return hair dryer to place of purchase.
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 hair dryer to confirm ALCI is operational.

Should the dryer go off and the ALCI reset button pop up during use, this could indicate a malfunction in the dryer. Remove plug from outlet and allow the dryer to cool. Push the reset button in and reinsert plug into outlet. Dryer should function normally. If not, return to a BabylissPro Service Center for examination and repair.

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

1. Shampoo and condition hair with 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 one 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.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid overdrying and possible damage to hair or skin, do not concentrate heat on one section for any length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. F or quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with cooler air.
6. This dryer includes a concentrator attachment. Use the attachment when you need drying power in a small area (such as a curl or a wave), or when you want to relax curly hair.

CERAMIC
Your ceramic dryer has many added benefits. The technology provides increased heat distribution, eliminating the damaging hot spots found with other dryers. This dryer will give your hair a smooth, silky shine while eliminating frizz.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE BY LICENSED COSMETOLOGISTS.

BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, bend 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.

*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!* GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the flow of electricity.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FOR DUAL-VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in the North America, the voltage selector switch should be placed in the 125 position. For use in several countries overseas, the voltage selector may need to be placed in the 250 position. Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using the appliance. For connection to a 240-volt supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply.

For 110-125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 125 position. In this position, the dryer has two settings. It provides two speeds and two heats—low speed and low heat on LO and high speed and high heat on HI.

For 220-250 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 250 position. In this position, the dryer has two settings. It provides two speeds and two heats — low speed and low heat on LO and high speed and high heat on HI.

USER MAINTENANCE

Your dryer is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. The dryer must be kept clean for proper operating performance. 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 damp 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, turn the dryer 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 place of purchase or an authorized BabylissPro 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.
