Safety Instructions
alci safety Device
This hair dryer is provided with an
appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI)
safety device built into the plug. This device
is designed to make the unit inoperable
under some abnormal conditions, such as
accidental immersion in water. The ALCI
safety device is equipped with a test button
so that its operation can be checked. This
unit should be tested before each use to
confirm that the safety device is
operational.
To test:
After plugging in your hair dryer:
1.
Press the reset button on the
ALCI device.
2.
Press the test button. The reset button
will pop out. This verifies that the safety
device is operating properly.
3.
Press the reset button to reactivate your
ALCI safety device.
4.
Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
Note:
This unit may automatically trip
when unplugged. If so, the unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. If the dryer
doesn’t reset after following the above
testing procedure, call 800-736-4648.
1.
Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e.,
reset button pops out) during use, press
the reset button. Should the hair dryer
fail to reset, call 800-736-4648. Never
operate this appliance if it has been
dropped in water.
2.
The dryer is designed to work on
ordinary household current only, 125
volts A.C., 60 Hz. It is not intended for
commercial use.
3.
This appliance is equipped with an
automatic thermal limiter, which will
cycle off when overheated and come
back on when cooled down. If the unit
cycles off, unplug the cord for several
minutes before restarting.
4.
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.

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 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 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 that reacts immediately to a small electric
current leak by stopping the electricity flow.
