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 A.C.
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 pur-
pose 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 below).
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 button
in, and reinsert plug into outlet.
4. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return
appliance to nearest 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.
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
1. Shampoo and condition hair with products
of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel blot
hair to remove excess moisture. Section hair.
2. Push the ion on switch to turn on the ion
generator: clouds of negatively changed ions
will help to reduce state electricity, control
frizzy flyaways and contribute to hair’s shine 3.
The dryer has 15 styling settings achieved
through 3 speeds and 4 heat settings com-
bined with a cool shot - whether you select a
high powerful setting for a maximum volume
or a low cool setting to lock in a style, you will
always get the benefit of the ionizing function.
Maximum styling control for shiny manage-
able hair.
4. If you use the dryer with a styling brush
(the professional way to style and dry at the
same time), brush each strand from under-
neath as you direct hot air to top of strand,
always moving slowly and steadily up and
down each strand. This way, you’ll be aiming
heat at your hair, not at your scalp.
5. For quick touchups between shampoos,
mist hair to dampen it before styling with dryer.
6. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a low
temperature setting, then finish styling by
switching to cool (which also activates the
IONIZINGFUNCTION). This will help reduce
static again, and shine hair for a perfect finish.
