OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Standard hot air stylers 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 quali-fied electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

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.
1. Plug in the appliance and press test button on plug (see appropriate diagram).
2. The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and reset button will pop out.
3. To reset ALCI with a reset button, unit should be unplugged. Then push reset but-ton in and reinsert plug into outlet.
4. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return appliance to service center.
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 the unit to confirm ALCI is operational.

Should the appliance go off and the reset but-ton 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.

GET TO KNOW YOUR STYLER

Natural Tourmaline Ionic Technology
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man- made fibers and air pollution contribute to a buildup of static electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair can increase these levels, causing the surface of the cuticle to become rough.
Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. Also, high levels of static charge cause hair to become flyaway and difficult to style. The natural ions help to neutralize the static charge, smoothing the cuticle for shiny, smooth and manageable hair, so you can achieve your desired style easily.

Tourmaline Ceramic Technology
The rotating barrels deliver even, tourmaline ceramic heat, eliminating damaging hot spots for beautiful frizz-free shine.

3 Heat/Speed Settings
Low Setting: This position combines ideal airflow and temperature settings for shaping finer, damaged or treated hair.
High Setting: Combines ideal airflow with higher temperature, especially recommended for pre-drying, and also for styling thick hair.
Cool Setting: Using the cool setting at the end sets the style for a long- lasting effect. The rotation/spin function is not needed for cool setting so that style can easily be set.

Rotation Settings
There are two rotation speed settings. To make the brush head rotate, press the buttons marked << and >>. These will make the brush head rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. The rotation can be used on the low and high settings. When the appliance is used on a cool setting, the brush head will not rotate. For best results, use the rotating brush feature to create styles with gorgeous volume and shine. You can also use the hot air styler without the rotation function.

Protective Covers
After every use, always ensure that the protective shield is placed over the brush head. This protects the bristles and keeps them from being damaged.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

If you have long or thick hair, you may find it quicker and easier to use a hairdryer first to dry your hair and remove the excess moisture. For added volume, turn your head upside down as you dry.
Once the hair is 80% dry, you should start to create your style using the InfinitiPro by Conair® Spin Air Brush.

Styling Tips For Maximum Volume and Body

1. To turn the appliance on, select the correct heat setting for your hair type.
2. Start by sectioning the hair. Be sure to comb through hair so it’s detangled.
3. Place the appliance into the hair, close to the roots, and brush through the section.
4. Move the brush through the hair toward the ends, and as you reach the end of the section, start to rotate the brush away from your head by pressing and holding the appropriate rotate button.
5. As you do this, resist the rotation of the brush by pulling the brush downward. Tension created through the section of hair will help to smooth hair faster.
IMPORTANT! It may take several attempts to perfect this technique. If the brush spins too quickly, simply release the rotation button and remove styler from the hair.
6. For added root lift, hold the brush in place at the root for a few seconds.
7. For even more volume, allow the brush to rotate, winding the section of hair around the barrel. Release the rotate button and then leave the brush in the hair for a few seconds. Use cool style setting to set style.
8. To release the section, press and hold the opposite rotation button to unwind the hair section.
9. Repeat as necessary.
10. For less volume, you can follow the same steps and use without the spin function.
11. After use, switch off and unplug the appliance.
12. Allow to cool before storing.
13. Place protective shield over brush head to protect the bristles.

IMPORTANT

Never immerse this product in water or any other liquids.
IF YOU MUST USE YOUR HOT AIR STYLER 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 hot air styler 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 that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.

Helpful Hints and Tips

• To define layers and give shape to styles, follow step 4 and repeat through section.
• To get root volume and body through the top section of hair, follow steps 3 to 6, but using an upward motion.
• You can create fl ips or tuck hair under. Also perfect for shaping bangs.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance and let cool completely before cleaning it.
• Use a damp cloth to clean carefully. Make sure the appliance is completely dry before using again.
• The rear filter should be cleaned on a regular basis using a soft brush to help prevent buildup and overheating. This will also prolong the motor life.

USER MAINTENANCE

Your hot air styler is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operating performance, the hot air styler 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 hot air styler should be wiped clean with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the hot air styler to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the hot air styler or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If the unit or the heat turns off, unplug the cord and allow the hot air styler 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 hot air styler. Damage will occur at the high fl ex point of entry into the hot air styler, 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 hot air styler 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 hot air styler should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap line cord around hot air styler. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the hot air styler.
