To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
CAUTION
– Never allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted or severely bent.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the dryer. Damage will occur at the high flex point of
entry into the dryer, causing it to rupture, arc and short. Inspect the cord frequently for
damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or unit stops or operates intermittently.

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 GFCIs in bathrooms, garages and outdoor outlets of all
new homes.
Why do you need a gFCI
Electricity and water do not mix. If you hair dryer falls in water while
plugged in, the electrical shock can kill you...even if the switch if
"OFF". A regular fuse or circuit breaker will not 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 which
reacts immediately to a small
electric current leak by stopping
the electricity flow.
