INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use
on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Standard Dryers
are designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts A.C.
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.
IMPORTANT
1875 WATTS OPERATING GUIDE
Use of this dryer on the same circuit or fuse with
other electrical products or appliances may trip a
15 amp circuit breaker or blow a 15 amp fuse.
NEVER replace the fuse with one rated higher than
the capacity of the circuit. Doing so could result in
an electrical fire.
OPERATING GUIDE
1. Pull cord out slowly from dryer. Stop pulling when
you see the red mark. DO NOT JERK CORD.
2. Plug in dryer, then turn on heat/speed switch.
3. To retract cord, hold dryer vertically upright and
away from your face. Grasp the plug with one
hand, then press and hold the retract button
with the other. Guide the cord and keep it from
twisting. If the cord does not retract completely,
pull it out slightly and wind it again guiding it into
the reel. DO NOT RETRACT CORD WHILE DRYER
IS PLUGGED IN.
Do not allow small children to
handle the retractive power cord as this may
cause the cord to “whip ” and cause injury.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s
well maintained. Always treat hair right with
superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing
products.
DRYING BASICS
1. Shampoo and condition hair with products of
your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel blot hair to
remove excess moisture. Section hair. Using the
dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower
setting and direct hot air through a section of hair
at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section
so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct air
flow at hair not scalp.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and
free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid over drying, do not concentrate heat on
any one section for any length of time. Keep dryer
moving as you style.
4. For quick touchups between shampoos, mist hair
to dampen it before styling with dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and waves,
dry hair almost completely on a low temperature
setting, then set your style by switching to the cool
setting for a perfect finish.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn head
upside down while drying. Position
the air flow toward the roots for
maximum lift. When hair is dry, toss
head back and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when
creating a super straight look. Using
a large round brush (approximately
2” diameter), hold hair taut in each section and bend
ends slightly under as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural looking waves are
easily created by grasping hair at
the roots and scrunching between
fingertips while drying.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The Dryer is very effective, even at lower tempera-
tures, and helps make hair healthier-looking, shiny,
more manageable hair.
TOURMALINE CERAMIC™ HEAT TECHNOLOGY
will keep your hair healthy and shiny. It generates
full spectrum, infrared heat and ions which work
on hair molecules to dry them inside and out. This
drying process is gentle and quick; it minimizes
heat damage and makes hair less frizzy and more
manageable. Tourmaline crystals generate natural
ions that smooth the cuticle for silky, shiny hair.
HIGH TORQUE MOTOR
increases the velocity at
which air moves through the dryer and into your
hair, helping you dry and style your hair faster.
