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.
IMPORTANT
1875 WATT OPERATING GUIDE
Use of this dryer on the same circuit or fuse
with other electrical products or appliances
may trip a 15 amp circuit breaker or blow a 15
amp fuse.
NEVER replace the fuse with one
rated higher than the capacity of the circuit.
Doing so could result in an electrical fire.
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 appliance to cool.
Reinsert plug into outlet.
The appliance should then function normally.
If not, return to an authorized Conair Service
Center for evaluation and repair.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut
that’s well maintained. Always treat hair
right with superior quality shampoos, con-
ditioners, 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. Push the ion on switch to turn
on the ion generator: clouds of negatively
charged ions will help to reduce static elec-
tricity, control frizzy flyaways and contribute-
to your hair’s shine. Using the dryer along
with your styling brush, start at a lower set-
ting and 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 air flow at hair not scalp.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed
and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid over drying, 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.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a
warmer temperature setting, then finish
styling with Cool Shot feature to close hair
shaft and lock in style.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The professional Conair
®
ION SHINE dryer is
very effective, even at lower temperatures,
and helps to give healthier-looking, shiny
more manageable hair with maximum styling
control. Its powerful professional motor lasts
up to 3 times as long as an average motor
and gives you a genuine cold shot that
‘freezes’ a style into place.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra
volume, turn head
upside down while
drying. Position the
air flow 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.
