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.

SUPER STYLING GUIDE Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained.
Shampoo and condition hair with the products of your choice. Rinse thor­oughly. Gently towel blot hair to remove excess moisture. Part hair into sections. Follow the instructions to achieve your desired style.
DRYING BASICS
1. T o dry hair with or without the con­centrator nozzle attachment, section hair and 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. Selecting the snap-on concentrator attachment will give you more directional control of the airflow for precision styling. Direct airflow at hair, not at 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. Set dryer on LOW speed when hair is almost dry.
4. For quick touch-ups between sham­poos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
FOR STRAIGHTENING OR RELAXING Select the snap-on brush attachment and set dryer on HIGH speed. Hold dryer securely in one hand and use brush to firmly grasp a section of hair at the roots. Roll hair around brush with one turn of the wrist, then pull
downward. Continue procedure until

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? Elec-
tricity 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.
