When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts are electrically live even when the switch is off:

To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:

• Always "unplug it" immediately after using.
• Do not use while bathing.
• Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.
• If an appliance falls into water, "unplug it" immediately. Do not reach into the water.

To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury to persons:

• An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
• Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from children.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by, on, or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to a service center for examination and repair.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.
• Never block the air openings of the appliance or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the like.
• Never use while sleeping.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.
• Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safely feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one war. 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.
• Use only with electrical power as specified on the appliance.
• Do not use during a thunderstorm.
• In the event of a malfunction, shut the appliance off immediately and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the power cord or the device to disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
• Never hold or carry the appliance by the power cord.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized customer service technician.

DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER

• Make sure that the device, the plug, and the cable do not come into contact with water or other fluids.
• Do not operate the device with wet hands, in the bathtub or shower, or in or near a swimming pool or the like.
• If the device falls into water, do not try to retrieve it. Immediately disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• Do not direct hot air toward eyes or other heat sensitive areas.
• Attachments may be hot during use. Allow then to cool before handling.
• Do not place appliance on any surface while it is operating.
• While using the appliance, keep your hair away from the air inlets.
• Do not operate with a voltage converter.
• Be sure dual-voltage selector is in correct voltage position before operating. Before plugging in, read the information about dual voltage contained in the instruction section of this manual.
• This appliance was set at the factory to operate at 220 - 240 volts. Refer to "Before Use" section of this manual for conversion to 100 - 120 volt operation.
• As an additional safety measure, we recommend connecting the device only to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected electrical outlet. Contact a qualified electrician for installation details if a GFCI outlet is not available in your desired usage location. Never leave the device unsupervised, particularly if children are around.
• Be sure to repeat test every time you use the hair dryer to confirm ALCI is operational. Should the dryer go off and the ALCI reset button pop up during use, this could indicate a malfunction in the dryer. Remove plug from outlet and allow the dryer to cool. Push reset button in and reinsert plug into outlet. Dryer should function normally. If not contact an authorized distributor.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or product/property damage:

• Switch the appliance off and disconnect the power cord after every use and before cleaning.
• Keep hair, jewelry, and loose clothing away from the air inlet.
• Avoid contact with sharp or pointed objects.

IMPORTANT Message to Consumers

THIS MESSAGE ABOUT
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 the bathroom, 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 far greater protection.

A GFCI CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE! COMPARED TO THAT THE PRICE IS SMALL! DON'T WAIT...INSTALL ONE NOW!

HOW TO USE THIS ALCI (Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter)
The ALCI safety device in this unit is built into the plug. This device will make it inoperable under some abnormal conditions, such as accidental immersion in water. If the appliance is immersed in water, do not attempt to reset the ALCI safety device. The ALCI safety device is equipped with a test button so that its operation can be checked.

TO USE:

1. Press the Reset button on the ALCI safety device.
2. Plug your ALCI into an AC outlet then press the Test button.
3. The Reset button will pop out. This verifies the safety device is operating properly. If the Reset button does not pop out, do not use the unit. Return it immediately for service.
4. Press the Reset button to reactivate the ALCI safety device. Your hair dryer is ready for use.

Repeat this procedure every time you use the hair dryer to confirm that the safety device is ready and operational.

Important

The power cord of this appliance is not replaceable by the user. If the power cord of this hairdryer is damaged it must only be replaced by a qualified engineer as special tools are required.

Safety considerations

• Position the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by things placed on or against them.
• Do not use the hairdryer in humid or damp conditions. Do not allow the appliance to get wet i.e. dripping or splashing, as this may be dangerous.

Ventilation

• The slots and openings on the appliance are for ventilation. Do not cover or block them as it could lead to overheating.
• NEVER let children push anything into the holes or slots on the hairdryer.
