ALCI SAFETY PLUG
This hair dryer is provided with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCI) safety device
built into the AC power plug. This device is designed to make the unit inoperable under some
abnormal conditions, such as accidental immersion in water. The ALCI safety device is
equipped with a test button so that its operation can be checked.

safety device is operating properly;
3. press the RESET button to reactivate your ALCI safety device.
4. Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
