ALCI Safety Device

This hair dryer is provided with an
appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI)
safety device built into the plug. This device
is designed to make the unit inoperable
under some abnormal conditions, such as
accidental immersion in water. The ALCI
safety device is equipped with a test button
so that its operation can be checked. This
unit should be tested before each use to
confirm that the safety device is
operational.

To test:

After plugging in your hair dryer:

1. Press the reset button on the
ALCI device.

2. Press the test button. The reset button
will pop out. This verifies that the safety
device is operating properly.

3. Press the reset button to reactivate your
ALCI safety device.

4. Your hair dryer is now ready for use.

Note: This unit may automatically trip

when unplugged. If so, the unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. If the dryer
doesn’t reset after following the above
testing procedure, call 800-736-4648.

1. Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e.,
reset button pops out) during use, press
the reset button. Should the hair dryer
fail to reset, call 800-736-4648. Never
operate this appliance if it has been
dropped in water.

2. The dryer is designed to work on
ordinary household current only, 125
volts A.C., 60 Hz. It is not intended for
commercial use.

3. This appliance is equipped with an
automatic thermal limiter, which will
cycle off when overheated and come
back on when cooled down. If the unit
cycles off, unplug the cord for several
minutes before restarting.

4. 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.

Warranty

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 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 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 that reacts immediately to a small electric
current leak by stopping the electricity flow.

Thank you for purchasing the Remington® 1875 Watt Ion Dryer. Please carefully
read the instructions contained in this booklet, and keep them in a safe place for

shine.

Before

After

Basic Drying Techniques

1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess

water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel – this
creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle
hair with a wide-toothed comb.

2. Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer into
an electrical outlet.

3. Turn the dryer on and set it to a high heat
and speed. Remove some of the addi­tional moisture from your hair by briskly
blowing it all over, using your
fingers to “comb” through hair.

4. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat
and speed to the desired settings and
begin to style.

5. Divide hair into manageable sections.
Begin at the nape of your neck and brush
hair, following the movement of the brush
with the dryer. Continue working your way
up to your scalp, then to the sides and the
front, drying small sections at a time.

6. Once your desired style is achieved, push
the Cool Shot button to set the style with
a cool flow of air.

Cool Shot:
The Cool Shot sets the style by blowing
a cool stream of air. Press and hold cool
shot button to set style. Release button
to return to warm air flow.

For straight, smooth hair:

Brush hair from underneath using a large,
round brush or paddle brush. Pull hair down
until the hair is fully extended and taut. Run
the dryer slowly down the length of the hair
several times until dry. Repeat
tions of hair until it is completely dried. Lock
in the style with Cool Shot.

For curly hair:

Use dryer on a low heat and speed set­ting and move it quickly about your head.
As you dry your hair, scrunch it with your
favorite styling product or twirl strands of
hair around your fingers to add definition.
When finished drying, lock in the style with
the Cool Shot.

Hair Care Tips

■ Keep the dryer about 8 inches away from
your head to avoid burning your scalp or
damaging hair.

■ Always keep the dryer pointed down
the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and
create a silky, shiny style.

■ To help prevent heat damage and add
shine, spritz damp hair with a heat
protection spray before blow drying.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Maintenance Instructions

The dryer needs minimum maintenance to
ensure the best performance and long life.

■ Do not attempt to repair the appliance
yourself.

■ Keep all intake openings clear of dust
accumulation. See “Cleaning Instructions”
below. No other maintenance or
lubrication is required.

■ If the cord becomes twisted due to use,
periodically straighten it. Store appliance
and cord where they will not be damaged.
Do not wrap cord around dryer.

Cleaning Instructions

The air filter should be cleaned regularly,
since a dirty or clogged filter will impair the
efficiency of the dryer.

1. To clean air filter, make sure dryer is
turned off and unplugged.

■ To create a style with lots of body, apply
volumizing mousse to towel dried hair.
Distribute it evenly from roots to ends,
then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft,
shiny, and full of volume.

■ For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry,
finish by running a straightening iron over
dried hair.

■ For a quick touch-up between
shampoos, mist hair to dampen
it, then style with dryer.

2. Gently pull the air inlet grille away from the
dryer.

3. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove
any particles that are lodged in filter.

4. If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a damp
cloth.

5. To replace the air inlet after cleaning,
align locking tabs and press back into
place to secure.

Storage

When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it
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, and avoid jerking, twisting, or
straining it, especially at plug connections.
