How to Use
This appliance is equipped with an ESP
®
Electric Shock Protector™/ALCI
(appliance leakage current interrupter) safety device specifically engineered for
safety. It is for household use and may be plugged into a standard AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current).
HOW THE ESP
®
/ALCI SAFETY DEVICE WORKS
The ESP
®
/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 ESP
®
/ALCI safety device.
The ESP
®
/ALCI safety device is equipped with a test button so that its operation
can be checked.
TO USE (A)
1. Press the RESET button on the ESP
®
/ALCI safety device.
2. Plug your hair dryer 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 ESP
®
/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 operational.
OPERATING GUIDELINES
• If the unit detects an electrical shock hazard, it will immediately shut off.
To restore power, press the RESET button on the ESP
®
/ALCI safety device
to reactivate the circuit.
• This appliance is designed with a protective coating around the heating coils.
When operating the first few times, you may notice momentary smoking when
turning off unit. This represents no danger to the user and does not indicate a
defect in the unit. The smoke should dissipate within a short time.
• Never block the air-intake grille, as this will cause the unit to overheat.
Should this happen, a built-in safety system will operate, and the unit will
blow cold air.
- Turn off the unit and clear any obstruction from the air-intake grille.
- Wait 10 minutes before operating the unit again. If the unit does not work,
it may have sustained extensive damage. Do not try to repair it. See warranty
for instructions.
• Never touch heating section as it may be hot and can burn you.
• Do not keep appliance directed at one place; keep it in constant motion. This
is especially important if drying a wig, which could be damaged by heat.
• To extend the life of the dryer, it is recommended to switch it to the coolest
setting for a few seconds before shutting it off.
• Untwist the cord from time to time to avoid tangling.
