ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FOR DUAL-VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in the U.S.A., the voltage
selector switch should be placed in
the 120V position. For use in several
countries overseas, the voltage selec-
tor may need to be placed in the 240V
position. Confirm the voltage avail-
able at each overseas location before
using the appliance. For connection
to a 240-volt supply, use an attachment
plug adapter of the proper configura-
tion for the power supply.
For 110-125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the
110-125V position. In this position,
the dryer has two settings. It provides
two speeds and two heat settings—low
speed and low heat on LO and high
speed and high heat on HI.
For 220-250 Volt Operation
First put the HI-LO switch into LO.
Flick the Dual voltage switch to the
220-250V position. At 220-250V while
set at LO, the dryer operates only at
high speed with high heat. Do not
attempt to operate the HI-LO switch
or change to 110-125V when operating
on 220-250V. The switches must be set
and remain in the LO and 220-250V
positions. A plug adapter may be nec-
essary in certain countries.
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance-
free. No lubrication is needed. For
proper operating performance, the
dryer must be kept clean. When clean-
ing is needed, unplug the cord, and
clean dust and lint from air intake
openings with a small brush or the
brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
The outer surface of the dryer should
be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
Blocked or clogged air intake vents will
cause the dryer to overheat. If overheat-
ing occurs, an automatic safety device
will shut the dryer or the heat off to
prevent damage or personal injury. If
the unit or the heat cycles off, unplug
the cord and allow the dryer to cool
for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting.
Make sure the air vents are clean.
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 and short.
Inspect the cord frequently for dam-
age. Stop use immediately if damage
is visible or unit stops or operates
intermittently.
If the cord or dryer is damaged or
does not operate properly, return it to
