dRYing/stYling tiPs
• Begin by towel drying hair to remove excess water.
• For longer or thick hair, use the wide-tooth comb attachment
to untangle as you dry.
• When hair is close to dry, select a lower heat and speed
and use the fine-tooth or the brush attachments to smooth
and style to your preference.
• If you prefer not to use the attachments, separate hair into
sections and start drying each section using the higher
heat and speed settings. Be sure to continuously move the
dryer and avoid directing airflow on any one area for an
extended period of time.

dual Voltage instRuctions
Before you attempt to change the
voltage setting, be sure the power
switch is in the OFF position.
For use in the U.S.A., the voltage
selector switch should be placed
in the 125 volt position. For use in
several countries overseas, the
voltage selector may need to be
placed in the 250 volt position.
Confirm the voltage available at each
overseas location before using the
appliance. For connection to a 250
volt supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper
configuration for the power supply receptacle.
To change the voltage use a screwdriver or coin and turn the
selector so the arrow slot is pointing at the required voltage.
When using at 250 volts, the appliance will only operate with
the switch in the “Low” position. At this setting the appliance
is actually operating at “HI” speed and heat.
do not
try to use the appliance in the “HI” setting when
operating at 250 volts.
