...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 the
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 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 imme-
diately to a small electric current leak by stop-
ping the electricity flow.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FOR DUAL-VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in North America, the voltage selector
switch should be placed in the 125 position. For
use in several countries overseas, the voltage
selector may need to be placed in the 250 position.
Confirm the voltage available at each overseas
location before using the appliance. For connec-
tion to a 250 volt supply, use an attachment plug
adapter of the proper configuration for the power
supply receptacle.
For 125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 125 position.
In this position, the dryer operates in all available
heat and speed settings.
For 250 Volt Operation
First put the HI-LO switch into LO. Flick the
dual voltage switch to the 250 position. At
250 while set at LO, the dryer operates only at
high speed with high heat.
Do not attempt to
operate the HI-LO switch or change to 125
when operating on 220-250V. The switches
must be set and remain in the LO and 250
positions.
A plug adapter may be necessary in
certain countries.
Blocked or clogged air intake will cause the
dryer to overheat.
If overheating occurs, an
automatic safety device will shut the dryer or the
heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If
the unit or the heat cycles off, unplug the cord
and allow the dryer to cool for 10 to 15 minutes
before restarting. Make sure the air vents are
clean.
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No
lubrication is needed. For proper operating per-
formance, the dryer must be kept clean.
Blocked
or clogged air intake vents will cause the
dryer to overheat.
When cleaning is needed,
unplug the cord, and clean dust and lint from
air intake openings with a small brush or the
brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer
surface of the dryer should be wiped clean with
a damp cloth only.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled,
twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord
tightly around the dryer. Damage will occur
at the high flex point of entry into the dryer,
causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord
frequently for damage.
Stop use immediately
if damage is visible or unit stops or operates
intermittently.
If the cord or dryer is damaged or does not
operate properly, return it to the place of pur-
chase with the sales receipt. No repairs should
be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE
When not in use, your dryer should be discon-
nected and stored in a safe, dry location, out
of reach of children.
Do not wrap line cord
around the appliance.
Allow the cord to hang
or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into
the appliance.
