SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
DANGER – Any hair dryer is electrical-
ly live even when the switch is off: To reduce the risk of death or injury by
electric shock:
1. Always “unplug it” immediately after using.
2. Do not use while bathing or in a show­er.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
4. Do not place in, or drop into, water or other liquid.
5. If an appliance falls into water, “unplug it” immediately. Do not reach into the
water.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns,
electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in. Do not pull, twist, or wrap line cord around dryer.
2. Close supervision is necessary when this
appliance is used by, on, or near children or invalids.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to a Conair service centre for examination and repair.

...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.

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.

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. 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 unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid overdrying, 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.
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, natural­looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying.
