Operating instructions
This appliance is designed for use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Before using, ensure the ALCI safety plug is functioning:

- The hair dryer should stop working.
- Press the reset button to restore power.

Styling tips
- Drying Basics: Shampoo and condition hair, then towel dry to remove excess moisture. Use the dryer to remove remaining moisture, moving the dryer steadily across each section of hair.
- Body and Volume: To create extra volume, turn your head upside down while drying. Position the airflow toward the roots for maximum lift.
- Straightening: Work with hair in sections when creating a sleek, straight look. Use a large round brush (approximately 2 inches in diameter) and hold hair taut while drying, bending ends slightly under as you dry.
- Making Waves: Natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying.
Maintenance
The removable filter allows for easy cleaning. Ensure the dryer is unplugged and cool before cleaning. Regularly remove any hair or dust buildup from the filter to prevent overheating and maintain airflow.
