When using electrical appliances, especially when
children are present, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
• To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
• Always turn off and unplug immediately
after using.
• Do not use while bathing.
• Do not use in the shower, over a sink lled

• The dryer should never be left unattended
when plugged in.
• Close supervision is necessary when the dryer

with certain disabilities.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the dryer.
DANGER – As with most electrical appliances,
electrical parts carry current even when the switch is off.

electrocution, re, or injury to persons:
• Do not place or store dryer where it can fall or be
pulled into a tub or sink.

Safety Information (cont.)
• Use the dryer only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments

damaged or partly/fully immersed in water.
• Keep the dryer and its cord away from heated
surfaces, including hot parts of the dryer. Do not
wrap the cord around the dryer.
• Do not use the dryer with a twisted, bent or
otherwise damaged cord.

on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where
the openings may be blocked. Keep the openings
free of lint, hair, etc.
• Never use while sleeping.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

(spray) products are being used or where oxygen
is being administered.
• Do not use the dryer if there is visible damage, if it
is not working properly, or if it has been dropped.
• Regularly check the dryer and its cord for damage.
If the power supply is abnormal or if the dryer
or its cord needs examination or repair, contact
Customer Service (see page 18). Do not repair
on your own. Repairs that are not performed by
experts can be extremely dangerous.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding
be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualied service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-
insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.”
The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
This dryer is equipped with a thermostat that may cycle off if the temperature exceeds
comfort levels due to the partially blocked air inlet or air outlet openings. In the event
that the dryer slows down during use, turn off the switches and allow the dryer to cool
down, at which time the thermostat will automatically reset.

Using Your Hair Dryer (cont.)
Care & Maintenance Note: If the lter cap is twisted too tightly, wrap
a rubber band around the cap for a better grip.
Note: When using this hair dryer near water
(such as in bathrooms), we recommend using
an electrical outlet protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter.
• If the hair dryer overheats, it will automatically
turn off.
• Unplug the hair dryer and allow it to cool for
10–20 minutes before using it again.
• Unplug the hair dryer before cleaning.
• Do not let children clean the hair dryer.
• Never immerse the hair dryer in water.
Overheat Protection
This hair dryer does not typically require maintenance.
Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust.
If cleaning is necessary, unplug the hair dryer and
allow it to completely cool. Do not allow the hair dryer
to come in contact with water or allow moisture or
debris to enter the hair dryer while cleaning.
• You can use a slightly damp cloth to clean the
exterior of the hair dryer. Afterward, dry with a
dry cloth.
• Dust and lint can be removed from air intake
openings using a small brush or a vacuum
cleaner brush attachment.
• Occasionally clean the lter cap to remove dust
and hairs. Twist the cap counterclockwise to
remove and clockwise to replace.

14
Care & Maintenance (cont.)
Allow the hair dryer to cool, then store in its box or
hang on a hook out of reach of children in a safe, dry,
and clean location. During storage, the cord should
remain loose with no tight bends or folds. Do not jerk
or strain cord. Any pulling, twisting, severe folding
or bending may rupture the power cord and cause
electrical short circuit or other malfunctions. If the
cord becomes twisted, untwist prior to use.
When you wish to dispose of this product, give it to
your local designated recycling center and follow the
