fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.

4. Do not place in, or drop into, water or other

This appliance should never be left
unattended when plugged in.

...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 into
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.

INSTRUCTIONS

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 WATTS 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.

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 products

of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel blot
hair to remove excess moisture. Section
hair.

2. If you use the dryer with a styling brush

(the professional way to style and dry at the
same time), brush each strand from under­neath as you direct hot air to top of strand,
always moving slowly and steadily up and
down each strand. This way, you’ll be aim­ing heat at your hair, not at your scalp.

3. To speed up the drying and styling process,

push the red turbo button: airflow speed will
increase up to 40%, compared to the air­flow of average dryers.

4. For quick touchups between shampoos,

mist hair to dampen it before styling with
dryer.

5. When using your dryer to create curls and

waves, dry hair almost completely on a low
temperature setting, then set your style by
switching to the cool setting for a perfect
finish.

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 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER

The Conair® Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Dryer
is very effective, even at lower temperatures,
and helps make hair healthier-looking, shiny,
more manageable hair.

THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud of
negative ions that can:

• neutralize the generally positive charge
on flyaway, frizzy hair

• eliminate static electricity

• contribute to shine

TOURMALINE CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

generates ions that help smooth the cuticle
layer creating silky, shiny, hair.
