WORKS
This unit is provided with an appliance leakage current interrupter (ALCI) safety device
built into the plug. This device will make it inoperable under some abnormal conditions,
such as accidental immersion in water. If the appliance is immersed in water, do not
attempt to reset the ALCI safety device. Please take the unit to the nearest service
facility for examination.
The ALCI safety device is equipped with a test button so that its operation can be
checked.
TO USE:
1. Press the reset button on the ALCI safety device.
2. Plug appliance into AC electrical outlet.
3. Then press the test button. The reset button will pop out. This verifies that the safety
device is operating properly
.
Should the reset button not pop out, do not use the
unit. Return immediately for service.
4. Press the reset button to re-activate the ALCI safety device and use the appliance.
Repeat the above procedure each time this appliance is used to confirm that the safety
device is operational.
At any time, should this unit detect an electrical shock hazard, it will immediately shut
off. To restore power, the reset button on the ALCI safety device must be pressed to
reactivate the circuit.
IMPORTANT:
Never block air intake grille, as this will cause the unit to overheat.

a built-in safety system will operate,
and the unit will start blowing warm air. At this
point, turn the switch to Off, and clear any obstruction from the air intake grille. Wait
10 minutes before attempting to operate the appliance again. If the unit fails to operate,
it may indicate that the appliance has sustained extensive damage.

to lower heat as hair dries.
Do not keep appliance directed at one place; keep it in constant motion. This is
especially important if drying a wig, which could be damaged by heat.

SPECIAL ATTENTION:
This appliance is designed with a protective coating around the
heating coils. When operating the first few times, there may be momentary smoking
when unit is switched
