Safety Instructions
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.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTERS 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 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.
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.

Key Features:
New Tourmaline-Ceramic Technology
works in this high performance dryer to
help seal the hair cuticle as the hair is
styled while also repelling humidity and
static for an incredible long-lasting frizz
free shine.
Pink Tourmalines are precious
gemstones with highly unique natural
properties. Heating crushed Tourmalines
results in the powerful natural emission
of ions and far-infared heat.

Hair Care Tips
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.
■ 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.

How to Use
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 blow drying 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.
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:
With the dryer turned off, attach the
concentrator to the end of the nozzle. 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
with all sections of hair until it is completely dried. Lock
in the style with Cool Shot.
For curly hair:
With the dryer turned off, attach the diffuser
to the end of the nozzle. 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.

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”

lubrication is required.
■ If the cord becomes twisted due to use,
periodically straighten it. Store appliance
and cord where they will not be damaged.

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.
2. Gently rotate the air inlet grille counterclockwise while lifting the filter 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 rotate clockwise
to secure.
Cleaning and Maintenance
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.
