When using electrical appliances, especially
when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING.
DANGER
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
As with most electrical appliances, electrical
parts are electrically live even when the switch
is off.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. Always unplug hair dryer immediately
after using.
2. Do not use while bathing.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it
can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
4. Do not place or drop into water or
other liquid.
5. If an appliance falls into water, “unplug it”
immediately.
Do not reach into the water.

Operating Instructions
1. Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e., reset
button pop out) during use, press the reset
button. Should the dryer fail to reset, return
the dryer to Remington Customer Service for
examination and repair or replacement.
Never operate this appliance if it has been
dropped in water; return it to Remington
Customer Service for examination and repair
or replacement.
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.
1. 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, unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. After
following the above testing procedure,
should the indicator device not function
properly, return the dryer to Remington
Customer Service for examination and
repair or replacement.
This message about…
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 a
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

How To Use
HOW TO USE
Remove most of the moisture from your hair by
blotting hair with a towel (rubbing creates tangles).
With the dryer in angled position, use on the most
comfortable heat heating for you, keeping dryer 8
inches from scalp.
When hair is slightly damp, use the air styler (straight
position) with either the comb or brush to complete
your desired style. The comb creates sleek, smooth
styles and the brush is perfect for flipping hair out or
curling under. The brush can also be used for
straightening really thick, curly hair.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Return to Remington Customer Service.
2. Keep all intake openings clear of dust accumulation.
See “Cleaning Instructions” below. No other
maintenance or lubrication is required.
3. If the cord becomes twisted due to use, periodically
straighten. Store appliance and cord where they will not
be damaged. Do not wrap cord around dryer.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Your new dryer needs minimum maintenance to
ensure the best performance and long life. To clean
the air filter, make sure the dryer is turned off, and plug
is pulled out of socket.
2. Use a soft bristle brush or damp cloth to remove any
particles that are lodged in the screen.
