Conair 185XC User manual

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 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 fl ex point of entry into the
dryer, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect
the cord frequently for damage. Stop use im-
mediately
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
authorized 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, at our option,
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 centre
nearest you, together with your sales slip
and $7.50 for postage and handling. In the
absence of a receipt, the warranty period shall
be 12 months from the date of manufacture.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS,
OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE 12 MONTH DURATION
OF THIS WARRANTY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL CONAIR BE LIABLE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH
OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHATSOEVER.

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
permanent unit installed by your electrician. The
National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s
in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor
outlets of all
new
homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and
water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls into
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 protect
you under these cir-
cumstances. 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 fl ow.

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 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 fl ex point of entry into the
dryer, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect
the cord frequently for damage. Stop use im-
mediately
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
authorized 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.

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
permanent unit installed by your electrician. The
National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s
in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor
outlets of all
new
homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and
water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls into
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 protect
you under these cir-
cumstances. 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 fl ow.
