ALCI Safety Device
This hair dryer is provided with an appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI)
safety device built into the plug. This device is designed to make the unit
inoperable under some abnormal conditions, such as accidental immersion in
water. The ALCI safety device is equipped with a test button so that its operation
can be checked.
This unit should be tested before each use to confirm that the safety device is operational.
To test:
After plugging in your hair dryer:
1. Press the reset button on the ALCI device.
2. Press the test button. The reset button will pop out. This verifies that the safety
device is operating properly.
3. Press the reset button to reactivate your ALCI safety device.
4. Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
Note: This unit may automatically trip when unplugged. If so, the unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. If the dryer doesn’t reset after following the above test-
ing procedure, call 800-736-4648.
1. Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e., reset button pops out) during use,
press the reset button. Should the hair dryer fail to reset, call 800-736-4648.
Never operate this appliance if it has been dropped in water.
2. The dryer is designed to work on ordinary household current only, 125/250
volts A.C., 60/50 Hz. It is not intended for commercial use. For use in the
U.S.A., the voltage selector switch should be placed in the 125 volt position.
For use in several countries overseas, the voltage selector switch may need
to be placed in the 250 volt position. Confirm the voltage available at each
overseas location before using the appliance. For connection to a 240-volt
supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the
power supply receptacle.
3. This appliance is equipped with an automatic thermal limiter, which will cycle
off when overheated and come back on when cooled down. If the unit cycles
off, unplug the cord for several minutes before restarting.
4. 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.

Use & Care Guide 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 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.

Product Features
Thank you for purchasing the Remington®dryer. Please carefully read the
instructions contained in this booklet, and keep them in a safe place for future
reference.
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/speed. Remove some of the
additional moisture, using your fingers to "comb" through hair.
4. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat/speed to the desired settings and
begin to style.
5. Divide hair into manageable sections. Begin at the nape of your neck and
brush through hair with desired attachment. Continue working your way up to
your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections at a time.
Cool Shot:
The Cool Shot sets the style by blowing a cool stream of air. Press and hold cool
shot button to set style. Release button to return to warm air flow.
For straightening & smoothing any hair type:
While dryer is turned off attach the wide or fine tooth comb. The combs glide
easily through the hair to create tangle-free, smooth styling. Repeat around your
head until hair is dry. To add volume and style while drying, roll hair around the
brush attachment once, rotating the brush attachment away from your head and
pulling the hair down toward the ends. Repeat around your head until hair is dry.
How to Use
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. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove any particles that are lodged in filter.
3. If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth.
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.

Operating Instructions
VOLTAGE SELECTION:
The travel dryer is perfect for home or travel abroad. The dryer converts easily to foreign
voltages so it can accompany you anywhere.
In North America
Your dryer is pre-set to run on North American voltage (125 volts), so no voltage adjust-
ment is necessary before using it in Canada, Mexico, or the United States.
Outside North America
Many foreign countries operate on 220/240 voltage. If you plan to travel to a country that
uses 220/240 volts, you will need to set the dryer’s voltage selector to 250 volts before
you can use it there. Simply insert a dime into the slot on the dryer’s dual voltage selec-
tor. Then turn it so that the indicator lines up with the desired voltage. The 250 volt setting
can be used in any country that operates at a voltage greater than 125 volts.
