IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Warning: When the hair dryer is used in a bathroom, unplug
it after use since the proximity of water presents a hazard
even when the hair dryer is switched off.

When using electrical appliances, especially when children
are present, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
DANGER – As with most electrical appliances, electrical

parts are electrically live even when the switch is off.

To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:

• Always unplug it immediately after using.

• Do not place or store an appliance where it can fall or be
pulled into a bath or sink.

• Do not use while bathing.

• Do not place or drop into water or other liquid.

• If an appliance falls into water, “unplug it” immediately.
Do not reach into the water.

For additional protection, the installation of a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying
the bathroom. Ask your electrical contractor for advice.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,
ELECTROCUTION, AND FIRE, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

• An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in to a power
outlet.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Keep the appliance and the power cord away from the edge of table
or countertops and out of reach of children and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities.

• This appliance is not a toy. Children shall be supervised to ensure they do
not play with the appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
Do not use attachments not recommended by Remington.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agents or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Never block the air openings of this hair dryer or place it on a soft
surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may become
blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, fluff and hair.

• Do not use on people who are sleeping.

• Never drop or insert any object into any opening of this appliance.

• Do not use outdoors or where aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.

• Do not direct hot air towards the eyes or other heat sensitive areas.

INTELLIGENT SENSOR

Press the ∞ button to activate the Intelligent Sensor. If the Intelligent Sensor is
on during styling, the light will come on indicating the sensor is monitoring the
air temperature and continually adjusting the heat to help prevent overheating.

NOTE: The Intelligent Sensor will only be activated when temperature regulation
is necessary, and that is when the heat settings are on High or Medium. When
the heat setting is on Low or the Cool Shot is used, the indicator light will not
be illuminated even the Intelligent Sensor is switched on, and this is because
there is no need for temperature regulation.

WHAT IS SHEA OIL?

Shea Oil is an extraction from the nut of the African Shea tree. Shea Oil is
proven to provide protection against harmful U.V. rays from the sunlight.

WHAT ARE U.V. FILTERS?

U.V. Filters are known to form a protective barrier to absorb harmful U.V. rays
from the sunlight before it penetrates and damages your hair.

IONIC CONDITIONING TECHNOLOGY

The Infinite Protect Hair Dryer provides 90% more ions for less frizz*.

HOW TO USE YOUR HAIR DRYER

For optimal results, shampoo and condition your hair prior to styling and towel
dry to remove excess moisture.

QUICK DRYING

Select a high heat & high speed setting and roughly dry your hair. Use a round
brush or your hand to shake out excess moisture whilst drying and keep the
hair dryer in constant motion.

STRAIGHTENING

Select high heat and high speed and roughly dry the hair. When the hair is
nearly dry, attach the concentrator nozzle (which minimises frizz) and reduce
the heat & speed. Section the hair according to thickness and begin with
straightening bottom layers first. Using the round brush, follow the concentrator
from above, while slowly gliding down each section of hair from roots to tips.

Once bottom layers have been straightened, then straighten the mid-section
and complete by straightening top layers.

NATURAL WAVY TEXTURE

Using a low heat and low speed setting, ‘scrunch’ sections of hair with your
fingers into the palm of your hand while directing airflow through your fingers.
Once you have reached the desired effect, use the cool shot on each section
of hair to hold the style. For more volume, lean forward and dry the hair in the
upside down position.

LIFT & VOLUME

Use the hair dryer on a low heat and low speed setting, work from the roots
of hair and begin at the back of the head. Section your hair and use the round
brush to dry against the natural growth pattern of your hair. This creates lift at
the roots, which creates a style with volume.

STYLING

Set the hair dryer to a low heat and low speed setting and attach the
concentrator nozzle for precision drying. Section the hair and style using the
round brush. Concentrate the airflow directly on the hair while styling in the
direction you desire. If necessary, hold the airflow for 2-5 seconds on each
section while curling under or over for additional hold.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

This hair dryer is equipped with a thermostat that will cycle `OFF’ if the
temperature exceeds the comfort level due to partially blocked air inlet
or air outlet grilles. In the event that the hair dryer stops during use, turn
off all switches and allow the hair dryer to cool down, at which time the
thermostat will automatically reset. Before using again, check that the air
inlet and air outlet grilles are not blocked.

Unplug the hair dryer and clean the openings if necessary. During use, do
not block the air openings or let your hair be drawn into the hair dryer.

MAINTENANCE

Your hair dryer is designed for household use and is virtually maintenance free.
When cleaning becomes necessary, turn all switches off and disconnect the hair
dryer from the power outlet.

To maintain peak product performance, it is important to clean the air inlet grille
and filter at the back of the dryer. To access the air inlet grille and filter, grasp
the air inlet grille retaining ring with your hand and twist it anti-clockwise until
it unlocks. Pull it away from the hair dryer. The filter can now be cleaned with
a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Take the air inlet grille retaining ring and
position it so the lugs on the ring are aligned with the notches on the side of the
dryer. To lock, turn the air inlet grille retaining ring clockwise. The exterior of the
hair dryer can be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth.

STORAGE

When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow appliance to cool and store out of reach
of children in a safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance as
this will cause the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle cord carefully for
long life and avoid jerking, twisting or straining especially at plug connections. If
the cord becomes twisted in use, periodically straighten it.

You may also use the hang loop to store the hair dryer within convenient reach,
ensuring that water cannot be splashed on to it when it is hung up.

7

WARNING: Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins

or other vessels containing water.

As with all electrical appliances, the power cord must be regularly

checked for wear and tear. Immediately cease using this product if the

power cord shows any signs of damage.

This product conforms to radio frequency interference requirements.

Any product purchased and used commercially carries a limited 90 Day Warranty.
