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.

HOW TO SET UP AND USE YOUR DEVICE

Open the door on the side panel of the Soft Bonnet Dryer. Pull out the line cord, the hose and the bonnet.
To fully extend the hose, press the release button on the hose to loosen the locking mechanism.
Attach the bonnet to the hose by lining up the protrusions in the hose locking ring with the indentations in the bonnet locking ring. Twist slightly to lock.
Place Soft Bonnet Dryer flat (not standing up like a purse) on table or countertop. Connect power cord to outlet.
Place bonnet over hair, pull drawstring comfortably tight and lock in by pushing locking mechanism button and sliding close to the metal ring in the bonnet.
Turn Soft Bonnet Dryer on. High setting is best for very wet hair; medium and low settings are for more gentle drying or touch-ups on hair that has been lightly misted with water. Drying times vary with heat settings and different hair types; you will soon learn which heat setting and timing works best for your hair. For best curl results, turn the dryer to the "cool" setting for a few minutes at the end of your drying time. Cool air sets curls for long-lasting results.
To use vent brush for precision drying and styling, unlock the bonnet from the hose and attach the vent brush by lining up the lines on the locking rings of hose and attachment. Slightly twist clockwise to lock. Use the vent brush for precision styling. Note that the hose may become hot during the drying process. Rest hose on clothing (i.e. shirt collar, robe) rather than your skin.
For hot conditioning treatments, follow the directions of the treatment manufacturer.
Generally, the conditioning lotion or liquid is distributed in the hair and heat is applied until the desired conditioning has been achieved.
After use of bonnet, push the locking mechanism button again and pull away from the bonnet to unlock the drawstring. Take bonnet off and unlock it from the hose. Let bonnet and hose cool down for a few minutes until they are no longer warm to the touch. Then fold the bonnet and store it in the dryer housing. Push in the easy lock button on the hose while at the same time pulling the drawstring: the springy hose will conveniently compact for storage inside the housing. Gently loop powercord and store it in the housing as well. Make sure prongs on power plug do not damage bonnet or hose. Attachments do not store in the housing.
Dryer stands up on its side for space- saving storage.
In the unlikely event that the dryer shuts off during use, please check the inlet grill for lint build-up and clean if necessary.

DEVICE OVERVIEW

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 the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.

WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
shock hazard Electricity and water don't mix. If your hair dryer falls into 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 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.

USER MAINTENANCE

Your dryer is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning becomes necessary, disconnect the dryer from the power source and wipe exterior with a damp cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs, unplug the dryer, allow it to cool and return it for repair to an authorized service center only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.

NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled or twisted. Never wrap the cord around the dryer. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the dryer, causing it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or if unit stops or operates intermittently.

STORAGE

When not in use, your appliance should be disconnected and stored in a safe, dry location out of reach of children. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug connections. Do not wrap the line cord around the appliance. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the appliance.
