This hair dryer is provided with an
appliance leakage circuit interrupter
(ALCI) safety device built into the plug.
This device is designed to make the
unit inoperable under some abnormal
conditions, such as accidental immer-
sion in water. The ALCI safety device

ty device is operating properly.

when unplugged. If so, unit must be

properly, return the dryer to Remington
Customer Service for examination and
repair or replacement.

Interrupters
can save a life!
If you must use your hair dryer in
the bathroom, install a GFCI* now!
Your local electrician can help you decide which
type is best for you–a portable unit that plugs into
the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed
by your electrician. The National Electrical Code
now requires GFCI’s in bathrooms, garages, and
outdoor outlets of all new homes.
Why do you need a GFCI?
Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer
falls in water while it’s plugged in, the electric
shock can kill you… even if the switch is “off.” A
regular fuse or circuit breaker won’t protect you
under these circumstances. A GFCI offers you a
greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life!
Compared to that, the price is small!
Don’t wait… install one
now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device
which reacts immediately to a small
electric current leak by stopping the
electricity flow
.
