Andis RC-2 - Hair Dryer Use & Care Instructions Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, the 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 doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If this unit shuts itself off, first press the reset button on the ALCI plug. If it still does not run, the thermal protectors that are built into this dryer may have operated. If the unit still does not run after being allowed to cool, return the unit for servicing.

HEAT SELECTIONS AND COOL SHOT

This dryer is equipped with a cool shot button. To achieve the cool shot of air, just press the button located on the top front portion of the handle. The cool shot is ideal for locking in curl for longer lasting style. Just concentrate cool air on desired curl until set.

HOW YOUR ANDIS DRYER WITH SHOCK PROTECTION WORKS

This Andis hair dryer has been manufactured with an APPLIANCE LEAKAGE CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (ALCI) safety plug. This mechanism will shut the dryer off (making it inoperable) under abnormal conditions, such as falling or being immersed in water. If this appliance becomes inoperable, return it to an Andis authorized service station for examination and repair. The ALCI shock protection plug is equipped with a test and a reset button.

TEST BEFORE EACH USE

1. Plug the ALCI shock protection plug into a 110-120 volt electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not attempt to use any other electrical outlet.
2. Before attempting to switch the dryer on, perform the following test: Press the test button, the reset button should pop up. This confirms that the safety plug is working properly.
3. Now press the reset button and your dryer with the shock protection plug will be operable and the power switch of your dryer may be turned on for normal use.
4. If this appliance does not operate in the proper functioning condition, it should be either returned to an Andis authorized service station for examination and repair, or discarded.

RETRACTABLE CORD

1. Slowly pull the cord out from the dryer. Do not pull cord past the red mark. DO NOT YANK OR SNAP THE CORD. Plug the dryer in, turn it on, and use like any other blow dryer.
2. When you have finished styling your hair, unplug and allow the dryer to cool. NEVER RETRACT THE CORD WHILE THE DRYER IS PLUGGED IN.
3. Hold the dryer upright and away from your face. Push and hold the retract button with one hand while holding the plug in the other hand, ensuring that the cord does not twist as it rewinds. If it does not completely retract, pull the cord out slightly and then guide the cord again.
4. DO NOT PERMIT SMALL CHILDREN TO OPERATE THE RETRACT FEATURE. The cord could whip while retracting and cause injury.

MODELS WITH CERAMIC AND IONIC TECHNOLOGY

Even-heat ceramic technology preserves natural oils and seals in moisture for shiny, silky, healthy hair. The ionic dryer breaks water molecule clusters into micro-fine particles while penetrating the hair shaft. Moisture balance is restored and the hair cuticle is sealed. The results achieved with the ionic dryer are immediate. Hair is renewed, repaired and revitalized for a softer, smoother, shinier finish.
