CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS
...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 im­mediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.
13. Do not place appliance on any surface while it is operating.
14. While using the appliance, keep your hair out of it. Keep your hair away from the air inlets.

INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current (50/60 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
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 below 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.
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operat­ing performance, the dryer must be kept clean. 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.
Blocked or clogged air intake vents 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.
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 for repair to an authorized Conair service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE - Important
When not in use, your dryer should be disconnected and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap line cord around dryer. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the dryer.
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.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained. Always treat hair right with superior quality shampoos, con­ditioners, and finishing products.
DRYING BASICS
1. Shampoo and condition hair with pro­ ducts of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel blot hair to remove excess moisture. Section hair. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, 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 un­ obstructed and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid overdrying, do not con­ centrate heat on any one section for any length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch ups, between sham­ poos, 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.
