IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
DANGER
Any hair dryer is electrically live even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk of death or injury by electric shock:
- ALWAYS UNPLUG IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING.
- Do not use it while bathing or in the shower.
- Do not place or store appliances where they can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
- Do not place in, or drop into, water or other liquids. 5. If an appliance falls into the water, unplug it immediately. Do not reach into the water.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
- This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
- This appliance should not be used by, on, or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
- Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
- Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to a Conair Service Center for examination and repair.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull, twist, or wrap the line cord around the dryer, even during storage.
- Never block the air openings of the appliance or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the like.
- Never use it while sleeping.
- Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.
- Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
- Do not use an extension cord to operate the dryer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Standard dryers are designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts AC. 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.
IMPORTANT 1875 WATT OPERATING GUIDE
Use of this dryer on the same circuit or fuse with other electrical products or appliances may trip a 15 amp circuit breaker or blow a 15 amp fuse. NEVER replace the fuse with one rated higher than the capacity of the circuit. Doing so could result in an electrical fire.
CHECK THE ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY TIME YOU USE THE APPLIANCE
This appliance is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under some abnormal conditions, such as immersion in water. To make sure the ALCI is functioning properly, perform the following test. The purpose of this test is to allow you to make sure the water-sensing system (ALCI) is working.
- Plug in the appliance and press the test button on the plug.
- The appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and the reset button will pop out. This indicates the ALCI is functioning properly.
- To reset ALCI, the unit should be unplugged. Then push the reset button and reinsert the plug into an outlet.
- If ALCI is not functioning properly, return the appliance to the nearest service center.
- It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.
- Be sure to repeat the test every time you use the unit to confirm ALCI is operational.
Should the appliance go off and the reset button pops up during use, this could indicate a malfunction in the unit. Remove the plug from the outlet and allow the appliance to cool. Reinsert the plug into an outlet. The appliance should then function normally. If not, return it to an authorized Conair Service Center for evaluation and repair.
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well-maintained. Always treat hair right with superior-quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing products.
DRYING BASICS
- Shampoo and condition hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry hair to remove excess moisture. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower setting and direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move the dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through the hair. Direct airflow at hair, not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaways, and contribute to your hair’s shine.
- Keep the dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- To avoid overdrying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for an extended length of time. Keep the dryer moving as you style. For pinpoint airflow, use the snap-on concentrator attachment.
- For quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
- When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting with the snap-on diffuser attachment, then finish styling with a cool shot feature to quickly close the hair shaft and lock in style.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn the head upside down while drying. Position the airflow toward the roots for maximum lift. When the hair is dry, toss the head back and brush the hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a super-straight look. Using a large round brush (approximately 2″ in diameter), hold hair taut in each section and bend ends slightly under as you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The Conair® 1875 Watt Style & Shine Natural Crystal Collection Dryer is very effective, even at lower temperatures, and helps create healthier-looking, shinier, more manageable hair with maximum styling control. POWERFUL MOTOR for faster drying and styling ease.
HEMATITE-INFUSED CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY i
is full spectrum, infrared heat that works on hair molecules to dry them inside and out. This fast and easy drying process minimizes heat damage and makes hair less frizzy and more manageable. Crystals are believed by some to have natural healing properties that can be used as a form of self-care to help enhance and heal a person’s mind, body, and spirit. Hematite is recognized as a grounding stone that is thought to absorb negative energy and emits calming vibrations during stressful times..
USER MAINTENANCE
Your dryer is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operating performance, the dryer must be kept clean. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, allow it to cool, and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface of the dryer should be wiped clean with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the dryer to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the dryer or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If the unit or the heat turns off, unplug the cord and allow the dryer to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting. Make sure the air vents are clean.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power-supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord tightly around the dryer. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the dryer, causing it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if the damage is visible or the unit stops or operates intermittently. If the cord or dryer is damaged or does not operate properly, return it for repair to an authorized Conair service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE
Important When not in use, your dryer should be disconnected, allowed to cool, and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap the line cord around the dryer. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the dryer.
