Conair 131XWC Instruction Manual
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 per-
manent unit installed by your electrician. The
National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s
in the 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 cir-
cumstances. A GFCI offers you far
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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FOR DUAL-VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in North America, the voltage selector
switch should be placed in the 120V position.
For use in several countries overseas, the
voltage selector may need to be placed in the
250V position. Confirm the voltage available
at each overseas location before using the
appliance. For connection to a 250 volt sup-
ply, use an attachment plug adapter of the
proper configuration for the power supply
receptacle.
For 110-125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 110-125V
position. In this position, the dryer operates in
all available heat and speed settings.
For 220-250 Volt Operation
First put the HI-LO switch into LO. Flick the
dual voltage switch to the 220-250V position.
At 220-250V while set at LO, the dryer
operates only at high speed with high heat.
Do
not attempt to operate the HI-LO switch or
change to 110-125V when operating on 220-
250V. The switches must be set and remain
in the LO and 220-250V positions.
A plug
adapter may be necessary in certain countries.
Blocked or clogged air intake will cause the
dryer to overheat.
If overheating occurs, an
automatic safety device will shut the dryer or
the heat off
to prevent damage or personal
injury. If the unit or the heat cycles off,
unplug the cord and allow the dryer to cool
for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting.
Make sure the air vents are clean.
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No
lubrication is needed. For proper operating
performance, the dryer must be kept clean.
Blocked or clogged air intake vents will
cause the dryer to overheat.
When cleaning
is needed, unplug the cord, and clean dust
and lint from air intake openings with a small
brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum
cleaner. The outer surface of the dryer should
be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be
pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap
the cord tightly around the dryer. Damage will
occur at the high flex point of entry into the
dryer, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect
the cord frequently for damage.
Stop use
immediately if damage is visible or unit
stops or operates intermittently.
If the cord or dryer is damaged or does not
operate properly, return it for repair to the
nearest service center. No repairs should be
attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE
When not in use, your dryer should be
disconnected and stored in a safe, dry
location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap
line cord around dryer.
