Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters
can save a life!
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 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 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
.
Operating Instructions
1. This hair dryer is provided with an appliance
leakage circuit interrupter (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
confirm that the safety device is operational.
TO TEST:
After plugging in your hair dryer:
A. Press the reset button on the ALCI device.
B. Press the test button. The reset button will
pop out. This verifies that the safety device
is operating properly.
C. Press the reset button to reactivate your
ALCI safety device.
D. Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
Note: This unit may automatically trip when
unplugged. If so, unit must be reset after it is
plugged in. After following the above testing
procedure, should the indicator device not
function properly, return the dryer to Remington
Customer Service for examination and repair or
replacement.
2. Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e., reset
button pop out) during use, press the reset
button. Should the dryer fail to reset, return
the dryer to Remington Customer Service for
examination and repair or replacement. Never
operate this appliance if it has been dropped
in water; return it to Remington Customer
Service for examination and repair or
replacement.
3. The dryer is designed to work on ordinary
household current only, 110 to 125 volts A.C.,
60 Hz. It is not intended for commercial use.
4. This appliance is equipped with an automatic
thermal limiter which will cycle off when over-
heated and come back on when cooled down.
If the unit cycles off, unplug the cord for
several minutes before restarting.
5. 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.
