OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for professional use. Use on Alternating Current (50-60Hz) only. Standard appliances are designed to operate at 120-240V. 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.
IMPORTANT: 1875 WATT OPERATING GUIDEUse 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 THE 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.
- Plugin hairdryer and press test button on plug (see appropriate diagram).
- The hairdryer will stop working. There will be an audible click and a reset button will pop out.
- To reset ALCI with a reset button: Unit should be unplugged. Then push reset button in, and reinsert plug into outlet.
- If ALCI is not functioning properly, return hair dryer to place of purchase.
- 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 hair dryer to confirm ALCI is operational.
- Should the dryer go off and the ALCI reset button to 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 it to a Babyliss Pro 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.Titanium emits negative ions in their most beneficial form for faster drying, locking in hair’s own natural moisture. This Tourmaline Titanium dryer will give your hair a smooth, silky shine while eliminating frizz.
DRYING BASICS
- 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.
- Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- 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.
- 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 cooler air.
- 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.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION: generates a cloud of negative ions that can:• help reduce frizz by up to 75%• neutralize the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair• eliminate static electricity• contribute to shine When compared to hair dryers with natural ion generation
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE BY LICENSED
COSMETOLOGISTS. GET TO KNOW YOUR HAIRDRYER Model BABTT053T
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, gently 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
HAIRDRYER 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 which reacts immediately to a small
electric current leak by stopping the flow of electricity. **
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 or twisted. Never
wrap the cord around the unit. Damage will occur at the high flex point of
entry into the unit, causing it to rupture and short. 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 is easy to store. Allow unit to
cool, then simply put back in the box, and store out of reach of children in a
safe, dry location. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug connections.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.
