INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use
only. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only.
Standard Dryers are designed to operate at 110
to 125 volts A.C.
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 electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
CHECK ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY TIME
YOU USE APPLIANCE.
This appliance 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, perform the following test. The pur-
pose of this test is to allow you to make sure
the water sensing system (ALCI) is working.
1. Plug in the appliance and press test button
on plug (See appropriate diagram below).
2. The appliance will stop working. There will be
an audible click and reset button will pop out.
3. To reset ALCI with a reset button, unit should
be unplugged. Then push reset button in, and
reinsert plug into outlet.
4. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return
appliance to nearest service center.
5. It is important that if immersion occurs,
this unit be brought to a service center. Do not
try to reset.
6. Be sure to repeat test every time you use the
unit to confirm ALCI is operational.
Should the appliance go off and the reset but-
ton pop up during use, this could indicate a
malfunction in the unit. Remove plug from
outlet and allow the hair dryer to cool. Reinsert
plug into outlet.
The appliance should function normally. If not,
return to an authorized Conair Service Center
for examination and repair.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut
that’s well maintained. Always treat hair well
with superior quality shampoos, conditioners,
and finishing products.
DRYING BASICS
1. Shampoo and condition hair with products
of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel blot
hair to remove excess moisture. Section hair.
Using the dryer along with your styling brush,
direct hot air through a section of hair at a
time. Move dryer steadily across each section
so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct
airflow at hair, not scalp.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed
and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid overdrying, do not concentrate
heat on any one section for any length of time.
Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch-ups between shampoos,
dampen hair with a mist of water before
styling with the dryer.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn head upside down
while drying. Position the airflow toward the
roots for maximum lift. When hair is dry, toss
head back and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a
super straight look. Using a large round
brush (approximately 2” diameter), hold hair
taut in each section and bend ends slightly
under as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural- looking waves are easily
created by grasping hair at the roots and
scrunching between fingertips while drying.
