CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

Electrical Requirements
The hair dryer requires a normal 110-120 volt electrical outlet.
To avoid an electrical overload, do not use a high wattage appliance
on the same circuit as the hair dryer.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk
of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a
qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug
in any way.
This appliance contains a thermostat to prevent the dryer from
over-heating. If the air intake grille and/or air outlet grille is blocked, the
dryer will automatically shut off. If this happens, set the switch to OFF,
unplug the unit, and allow the dryer to cool. Then clean the air intake
grille and air outlet grille. If the dryer continues to turn off automatically,
even with the grilles unobstructed, do not operate. Refer to the
"Product Warranty."
STORING THE DRYER IN THE BASE (SOME MODELS)

1. Switch the hand unit OFF before inserting into the dryer base.
2. Do not try to force the hand unit into the base with the unit ON.
3. To be properly stored, the hand unit must be fully inserted into the
dryer base.
