...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 per-
manent unit installed by your electrician. The
National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s
in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor out-
lets 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 pro-
tect you under these circum-
stances. 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 125V
position. For use in several countries
overseas, the voltage selector may need to be
placed in the 250V position. Confirm the volt-
age available at each overseas location before
using the appliance. For connection to a 220-
250 volt supply, 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
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 250V position. At
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
125V when operating on 250V. The switches
must be set and remain in the LO and 250V
positions
. A plug adapter may be necessary in
certain countries.
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No
lubrication is needed. For proper operating
performance, the dryer must be kept clean.
When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord,
and clean dust and lint from air intake open-
ings with a small brush or the brush attach-
ment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface
of the dryer should be wiped clean with a
damp cloth only.
Blocked or clogged air intake vents 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.
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 an autho-
rized Conair service representative only. No
repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE - Important
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. Allow the cord to hang
or lie loose and straight at the point of entry
into the dryer.
