Operating Instructions
This appliance is intended for household use on Alternating Current (60Hz) only. It features a polarized plug; if it does not fit into your outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Dual Voltage Operation
Before using, ensure the voltage selector is in the correct position:
- 125V Operation: Set the selector to 125. The dryer operates on all heat and speed settings.
- 250V Operation: Set the selector to 250. The dryer operates only at high speed and high heat. Do not attempt to change settings while operating on 250V. You may need a plug adapter for international outlets.
Styling Guide
For best results, keep the air intake vents unobstructed. Move the dryer steadily across sections of hair rather than concentrating heat on one spot. Use the Cool Shot feature at the end of drying to set your style.
- Body & Volume: Dry with your head upside down, directing airflow toward the roots.
- Straightening: Use a large round brush, holding hair taut and bending ends under while drying.
- Making Waves: Grasp hair at the roots and scrunch between fingers while drying.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The dryer is virtually maintenance-free. To ensure proper performance:
- Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool completely.
- Clean dust and lint from the air intake openings using a small brush or vacuum attachment.
- Wipe the outer surface with a clean cloth only.
- If the dryer overheats, an automatic safety device will shut it off. Unplug the unit and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before restarting.
Safety Warnings
- Keep away from water: Never use while bathing or near sinks/tubs. If the dryer falls into water, unplug it immediately. Do not reach into the water.
- Supervision: Never leave the appliance unattended while plugged in.
- Cord Care: Do not pull, twist, or wrap the cord around the dryer. Inspect the cord frequently for damage.
