OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current
(60 hertz) only. Standard dryers are designed to operate at 110 to 125 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.
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 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, 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 centre.
- It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit be brought to a service centre. 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. Push reset button and 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 airflow at hair, not scalp.
- 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 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.
- Use the concentrator for more direct airflow and pinpoint styling.
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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The Conair® 1875 Watt Tourmaline Ceramic Chrome Styler is very effective, even at lower temperatures, and helps achieve healthy-looking, shiny, more manageable hair with maximum styling control.
TOURMALINE CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY will keep your hair healthy and shiny. 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.
IONIC CONDITIONING natural ion output helps to control static electricity, minimizing frizz, increasing shine and making hair more manageable.
*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!
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 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 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 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.
