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.
- Pull cord out slowly from dryer. Stop pulling when you see the red mark. Do not jerk cord.
- Plug in dryer, then turn on heat/speed switch.
- To retract cord, hold dryer vertically upright and away from your face. Grasp the plug with one hand, then press and hold the retract button with the other.

DO NOT ALLOw SMALL CHILDREN TO HANDLE THE RETRACTIVE POwER CORD AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE CORD TO “wHIP” AND CAUSE INJURY.
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.
-
Plug in the appliance and press test button on plug (See appropriate diagram below).
-
The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and 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 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 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 products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower setting and 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 air flow at hair not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaways and contribute to your hair’s shine.
- Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- To avoid over drying, do not concentrate heat on any 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 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 air
flow 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. Use a large
round brush (approximately 2″ in diameter), to smooth out as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the
roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying. For curlier, wavier hair
use the diffuser attachment.
GETTING TO KNOw YOUR DRYER
The YOU REEL™ 2-IN-1 STYLER is very effective, even at lower temperatures, and
helps to give healthier-looking, shiny, more manageable hair with maximum
styling control.
HIGH SPEED MOTOR increases the velocity at which air moves through the
dryer and into your hair, helping you dry and style your hair faster.
TOURMALINE CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY will keep your hair healthy 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 frizzy and more manageable.
Tourmaline crystals generate ions that smooth the cuticle for silky, shiny
hair.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud of negative ions that can:
- neutralize the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair
- eliminate static electricity
- contribute to shine

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 GFCI’s 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 in 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 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, 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
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 turns 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.
