Maintenance Instructions
The dryer needs minimum maintenance to ensure the best performance and long life.
■ Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
■ Keep all intake openings clear of dust accumulation. See “Cleaning Instructions”
below. No other maintenance or lubrication is required.
■ If the cord becomes twisted due to use, periodically straighten it. Store appliance
and cord where they will not be damaged. Do not wrap cord around dryer.
Cleaning Instructions
The air filter should be cleaned regularly, since a dirty or clogged filter will impair
the efficiency of the dryer.
1. To clean air filter, make sure dryer is turned off and unplugged.
2. Gently rotate the air inlet grille counter- clockwise while lifting the filter away
from the dryer.
3. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove any particles that are lodged in filter.
4. If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth.
5. To replace the air inlet after cleaning, align locking tabs and rotate clockwise to secure.
Storage
When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it to cool, and store out of reach of chil-
dren in a safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance, as this
will cause the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle cord carefully, and
avoid jerking, twisting, or straining it, especially at plug connections.
■ Keep the dryer about 8 inches away from your head to avoid burning scalp or
damaging hair.
■ Always keep the dryer pointed down the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and
create a silky, shiny style.
■ To help prevent heat damage and add shine, spritz damp hair with a heat
protection spray before blow drying.
■ To create a style with lots of body, apply volumizing mousse to towel dried hair.
Distribute it evenly from roots to ends, then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft,
shiny, and full of volume.
■ For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry, finish by running a straightening iron
over dried hair.
■ For a quick touch-up between shampoos, mist hair to dampen it, then style with dryer.

Product Features
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 por-
table unit that plugs into the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed by
your electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s in 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 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 protect you under these circumstances.
A GFCI offers you 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 that reacts immediately to a small electric current
leak by stopping the electricity flow.

Eco Setting
This setting saves energy
while still drying your hair
beautifully.
Basic Drying Techniques
1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel –
this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.
2. Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer into an electrical outlet.
3. Turn the dryer on and set it to a high heat and speed. Remove some of the
additional moisture from your hair by briskly blow drying it all over, using your
fingers to "comb" through hair.
4. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat and speed to the desired settings and
begin to style.
5. Divide hair into manageable sections. Begin at the nape of your neck and brush
hair, following the movement of the brush with the dryer. Continue working
your way up to your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections
at a time.
Drying with eco
By using both eco settings you are saving energy while drying your hair.
1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel –
this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.
2. Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer into an electrical outlet.
3. Turn the dryer on and set to both eco settings. Remove some of the additional
moisture from your hair by briskly blow drying it all over, using your fingers to
“comb” through hair.
4. Divide hair into manageable sections. Begin at the nape of your neck and brush
hair, following the movement of the brush with the dryer. Continue working
your way up to your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections
at a time.
For straight, smooth hair:
Brush hair from underneath using a large, round brush or paddle brush. Pull hair
down until the hair is fully extended and taut. Run the dryer slowly down the
length of the hair several times until dry. Repeat with all sections of hair until it is
completely dried.
For curly hair:
Use dryer on a low heat and speed setting and move it quickly about your head.
As you dry your hair, scrunch it with your favorite styling product or twirl strands
of hair around your fingers to add definition.
