ALCI SAFETY DEVICE
This hair dryer is provided with an
appliance leakage circuit interru p t e r
(ALCI) safety device built into the plug.
This device is designed to make the unit
inoperable under some abnormal
conditions, such as accidental immersion
in water. The ALCI safety device is
equipped with a test button so that its
operation can be checked. This unit
should be tested before each use to con-
f i rm that the safety device is operational.
To test:
After plugging in your hair dry e r :
1 . P ress the reset button on the
ALCI device.
2 . P r ess the test button. The reset button
will pop out. This verifies that the
safety device is operating pro p e r l y.
3 . P ress the reset button to reactivate
your ALCI safety device.
4 . Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
N o t e : This unit may automatically trip
when unplugged. If so, the unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. After
following the above testing pro c e d u re ,
should the indicator device not function
p ro p e r l y, call Remington Customer
S e rvice at 800-736-4648.

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 re q u i r es GFCI’s in bathrooms, garages, and
outdoor outlets of all new homes.
Why do you need a GFC I ?
Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dry e r
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
o f fers you greater pro t e c t i o n .
A GFCI can save your life!
Compared to that, the price is small!
D o n ’t wait…
install one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immedi-
ately to a small electric current leak by stopping
the electricity flow.
