Operating Instructions
TESTING THE ALCI PROTECTION DEVICE
This appliance is equipped with a polarized Appliance Leakage
Circuit Interrupter plug (ALCI). This device will automatically
shut the hair dryer off under certain abnormal operating
conditions, such as submersion of the dryer in water.
The ALCI must be tested before each use of the hair dryer.
To test this protective device:
1. Make sure the ALCI is plugged in, then press the "Reset"
button.
2. Press the "Test" button. The "Reset" button should pop out,
which indicates the ALCI is working properly.
NOTE: If the "Reset" button does not pop out during the test,
or pops out before or during operation, or if the hair dryer fails
to function properly, do not operate the hair dryer. Refer to the
"Product Warranty."
3. Press the "Reset" button again to reactivate the ALCI. You
are now ready to operate the hair dryer.

How to Blow Dry
1. Remove excess water from the hair by patting it with a
towel. This will shorten drying time and help untangle hair.
2. Part hair into sections.
3. Pull dryer straight out of base.
CAUTION – DO NOT direct a high volume of heat continuously
to one area. This could overheat the hair and/or scalp.
4. Choose a setting that is most comfortable and that gives
best results. Use LOW setting for styling hair and HIGH
setting for drying hair. Keep the hand unit a few inches from
the hair and dry one section at a time. Keep hand unit in
motion while using.
5. Switch dryer to OFF.
6. Push dryer into base to store.
STYLING WITH THE HAIR DRYER
Heat molds and puffs up the hair to give it body and fullness.
The way you lift and dry damp hair at the scalp and turn the
ends will determine the direction of the hair.
