Safety Information
When using electrical appliances, especially when children
are present, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following.
These operating instructions should be carefully observed
and kept in a safe place to prevent damage to and danger
from the volumizer caused by misuse. When giving the
volumizer to someone else, also give them the operating
instructions.
DANGER – As with most electrical appliances, electrical
parts carry current even when the switch is off.
WARNING– To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire,
or injury to persons:
• To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
- Always turn off and unplug immediately after using.
- Do not use while bathing.

Safety Information (Cont.)
This volumizer 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 volumizer slows down during use, turn off
the switches and allow the volumizer to cool down, at which
time the thermostat will automatically reset.
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
qualified 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 ( ) may also be marked on
the appliance.
