This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating
Current (50/60 hertz) only. Standard
Dryers are designed to operate at 110

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.
