*IF YOU MUST USE YOUR HAIR DRYER IN THE BATHROOM, INSTALL A GFCINOW!**
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. National Electrical Code now requires GFCIs in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.

WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Plugging Warning Icon Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls in water while it’s plugged in, the electric shock can even if the switch kill you… A regular fuse or cir is off. cuit 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 immedi ately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FOR DUAL-VOLTAGE DRYERS

For use in the U.S.A., 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 250 volt supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.

For 125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 125 position.
In this position, the dryer operates in all available heat and speed settings.

For 250 Volt Operation
First put the HI-LO switch into LO. Flick the dual voltage switch to the 250 position. At 250 while set at LO, the dryer operates only at high speed with high heat. Do not attempt to operate the HI-LO switch or change to 125 when operating on 220-250V. The switches must be set and remain in the LO and 250 positions. A plug adapter may be necessary in certain countries.
