...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.
LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
Conair will repair or replace your appliance
free of charge for 12 months from the date
of purchase if the appliance is defective in
workmanship or materials.
To obtain service under this warranty, return
the defective product to the service center
nearest you, together with your sales slip
and $5.50 for postage and handling.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS,
OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMIT-
ED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MER-
CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICU-
LAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURA-
TION TO THE 12 MONTH DURATION OF THIS
WARRANTY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL CONAIR BE LIABLE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR
ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WHATSOEVER.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary

of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel blot
hair to remove excess moisture. Section hair.
Using the dryer along with your styling brush,
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 overdrying, do not concentrate
heat on any one section for any length of time.
Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch ups, between shampoos,
dampen hair with a mist of water before
styling with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a
warmer temperature setting, then finish
styling with Cool Shot feature to close hair
shaft and lock in style.
6. Some dryers include a concentrator
attachment. Use the attachment when you
need drying power in a small area (such as a
curl or wave) or when you want to relax curly
hair.
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 creat-
ed by grasping
hair at the roots
and scrunching
between finger-
tips while drying.

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.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s
well maintained. Always treat hair right
with Conair®and Jheri Redding®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,
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 overdrying, do not concentrate
heat on any one section for any length of time.
Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch ups, between shampoos,
dampen hair with a mist of water before
styling with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a
warmer temperature setting, then finish
styling with Cool Shot feature to close hair
shaft and lock in style.
6. Some dryers include a concentrator
attachment. Use the attachment when you
need drying power in a small area (such as a
curl or wave) or when you want to relax curly
hair.

INTERRUPTERS
...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.
