SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 GFCIs in the bathroom,
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 into water while the dryer is 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 far
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.
This appliance is intended for household use.
Use on Alternate Current (60 Hertz) only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified technician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
CHECK ALCI EVERY TIME YOU USE THIS HAIR DRYER
This hair dryer is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter
(ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under some abnormal
conditions, such as immersion in water. To make sure the ALCI is functioning
properly and the exclusive water sensing system (ALCI) is working, perform
the following test:
1. Plug in hair dryer and press test
button on plug.
2. Hair dryer will stop working. There
will be an audible click and the
reset button will pop out.
3. To reset ALCI with a Reset button:
Unplug unit. Then push Reset
button in, and reinsert plug into outlet.

4. Be sure to repeat the test every time you use this hair dryer to confirm the
ALCI is operational.
5. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return the hair dryer to a service center.
6. If a water immersion occurs, bring this unit into a service center. Do not
try to reset.
Should the dryer go off and the Reset button pop out during use, this could
indicate a malfunction in the dryer. Remove the plug from the outlet and
allow the dryer to cool. Reset the ALCI. Reinsert the plug into the outlet.
The dryer should function normally. If not, return it to a service center for
examination and repair.
