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

operation can be checked. This unit
should be tested before each use to con-
firm 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.

when unplugged. If so, the unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. After
following the above testing procedure,
should the indicator device not function
properly, call Remington Customer
Service at 800-736-4648.

Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters
can save a life!
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 immedi-
ately to a small electric current leak by stopping
the electricity flow.

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. Set dryer 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.
3. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat and speed
settings and begin to style.
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 your scalp,then to the sides
and the front,drying small sections at a time.
5. Once your desired style is achieved,push the Cool
Shot button to set the style with a cool flow of air.
FOR STRAIGHT,SMOOTH HAIR
Use a large, round brush or paddle brushto brush hair
from underneath. Pull hair down until the hair is fully
extended and taut.With the dryeron a high heat and
speed, aim the dryer nozzle down the length of the hair.
Repeat withall sections of hair until it is completely
dried. Lock in the style with the Cool Shot button.
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.

Shot button.

HAIR CARE TIPS
■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.
