other liquid.
5. If an appliance falls into water, “unplug it”
immediately.
Do not reach into the water.
10. Do not direct hot air toward eyes or other
heat-sensitive areas.
11. Attachments may be hot during use. Allow
to cool before handling.

Operating Instructions
2. Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e., reset
button pops 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.
3. The dryer is designed to work on ordinary
household current only, 125 volts A.C.,
60 Hz. It is not intended for commercial use.
4. 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.
5. 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:
A. Press the reset button on the
ALCI device.
B. Press the test button. The reset button
will pop out. This verifies that the
safety device is operating properly.
C.Press the reset button to reactivate
your ALCI safety device.
D.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 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
.

Negative ions neutralize the positive ions
that cause static and frizzies. Leaves hair
shiny and healthy-looking.
Ceramic Radiant Heat Technology
Ceramic emits far-infrared, radiant heat to
help dry water molecules inside the hair
strand. This fast and efficient process helps
prevent heat damage for less frizz and more
shine.
Wet hair holds 90% of its moisture in its inner
layer. Air that is too hot causes hair’s outer
layer to seal shut – trapping water inside and
slowing down the drying process.
The
SuperSonic™dryer generates more airflow
than other dryers so it can use less heat to dry
hair more quickly. And less heat equals less
hair damage.
Fast Air Concentrator
Exclusive vent design pulls in more
air for faster precision styling.
2 Speeds
Cool Shot
Helical Fan Design
If you look down through the top of the dryer, you will
see that the fan is not centered within the top grille area.
This is not a cause for concern. This is a natural part of
the design and it maximizes flow efficiency.

How To Use
No matter what style you ultimately achieve with this
dryer and a brush (your hairdresser may recommend
a particular one), the first step is to remove most of
the moisture from your hair. Start by blotting hair dry
with a towel (rubbing creates tangles).
BEGIN TO SHAPE
With a wide-tooth comb, start at the nape of your
neck and comb out small sections of hair at a time.
Put the dryer on HIGH air speed and HIGH heat, and
rotate nozzle quickly all over head, fluffing up hair
with fingers. Starting at nape of neck and moving
up, brush hair from scalp out to the ends, always
following movement of brush with dryer (keep dryer
8 inches from scalp). Then quickly do the same
thing, starting from the front and sides of head down
to the nape, brushing in the direction of your hair
from scalp out to the ends.
Hair should now be damp and ready for styling.
Adjust air speed and heat setting and you’re
ready to style.
COOL SHOT
Once you fully dry your hair and fashion the style, press
the Cool Shot button to “set” the style.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Return to Remington Customer Service for repairs.
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 it. Store appliance and cord where they will
not be damaged. Do not wrap cord around dryer.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The dryer needs minimum maintenance to ensure the
best performance and long life.
2. The air filter should be cleaned regularly, since
a dirty or clogged filter will impair the efficiency
of the dryer.
3. To clean air filter, make sure dryer is turned off and
plug is pulled out of outlet. Use soft bristle brush or
damp cloth to remove any particles that are lodged in
the air grille top and bottom.
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.
