POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the
plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this
indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return
it to our Service Department or to an authorized service representative.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

This appliance is equipped with an ESP®Electric Shock Protector™, specifically
engineered for safety. It is for household use and may be plugged into any AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

HOW ESP®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. Should this happen,
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.
Do not try to repair it yourself. Take it to an electrical service facility, or return it to the
manufacturer. See warranty for instructions.

CAUTION: Heating section should never be touched as it may be hot and burns
may occur.

To avoid possible scalp or hair burns, use very hot setting only when hair is wet. Reduce
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.

For maximum airflow, hold dryer no closer to the head than six inches.
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 OFF. This represents no danger to the user and does not indicate
a defect in the unit. This smoke should dissipate within a short time.

To extend the life of the dryer, it is advisable to switch it to the low heat setting for
a few seconds before shutting it off.

HOW TO USE THIS DRYER

This dryer features a choice of two speeds and four heat settings. Use high heats/speed
for most styling/setting procedures and hair types. Select lower heats/speed for
"finishing" a hairstyle or for drying and styling permed, color-treated or fragile hair.

To adjust heat and speed settings, operate switches as follows:
With both speed and heat switches in the Low (I) position, slow speed and warm air.
With speed switch in Low (I) and heat switch in High (II) position, slow speed and

hot air.
With speed switch in High (II) and heat switch in Low (I) position, fast speed and hot air.
With both speed and heat switches in the High (II) position, fast styling speed and

hottest air.
TO USE THE COOL SHOT™SWITCH: The Cool Shot switch is located at the top of the

dryer handle. By simply depressing the switch, the airflow will become cool.
The Cool Shot feature is used to set curls in place. Press the switch and hold it for

length of time desired. When finger is released from the switch, the dryer will
automatically resume the temperature and speed previously chosen.

This appliance is permanently lubricated and will not require additional lubrication for
the life of the unit. It contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified
service personnel.

WHILE USING: Untwist cord from time to time to avoid tangling.
TO CLEAN: Unplug unit and allow to cool. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the

surfaces. Do not allow water or any other liquid to get into the unit. Intake grille must be
cleared of any build-up of lint or hair with a small brush.

To remove grille, grasp it by notches located on rim, twist counterclockwise and pull off.
To replace grille, simply twist it clockwise until it is firmly reattached to dryer housing.
TO STORE: Unplug appliance, allow to cool, and store in its box or in a dry place. Never

store it while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap the cord tightly around the
appliance. Never hang unit by the cord -- use the hanging ring provided. Do not put any
stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.

SERVICE NOTE: Before returning unit for service, please make sure the air intake grille
is free of lint and hair. If it needs cleaning, clean by hand with a small brush, or use
a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. If unit has a removable grille, be sure to clean the
fixed grille attached to the housing as well as the removable grille. Then try to operate
the unit again.
