IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially
when children are present, basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed, including the
following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
DANGER –
Any hair dryer is electrically live
even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk
of death or injury by electric shock:
1. Always unplug appliance immediately after using.
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it can
fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
4. Do not place in, or drop into, water or other
liquid.
5. If an appliance falls into water, unplug it im-
mediately. Do not reach into the water.
WARNING –
To reduce the risk of burns, elec-
trocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. This appliance should never be left unat-
tended when plugged in.
2. This appliance should not be used by, on, or
near children or by individuals with certain dis-
abilities.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use attach-
ments not recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Never operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been dropped into
water. Return the appliance to a Conair
service center for examination and repair.
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not pull, twist, or wrap line cord around
dryer, even during storage.
6. 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.
7. Never use while sleeping.
8. Never drop or insert any object into any open-
ing or hose.
9. Do not use outdoors or operate where aero-
sol (spray) products are being used or where
oxygen is being administered.
10. Do not use an extension cord to operate
dryer.
11. Do not direct hot air toward eyes or other
heat-sensitive areas.
12. Attachments may be hot during use.
Allow them to cool before handling.
13. Do not place appliance on any surface while
it is operating.
14. While using the appliance, keep your hair
out of it. Keep your hair away from the air in-
lets.
15. Do not use with voltage converter.
16. Be sure the dual voltage selector is in the
correct voltage position before operating. Before
plugging in the dryer, read the information about
the dual voltage contained in the instruction
section of this manual.
17. This appliance was set at the factory to op-
erate at 125 volts. Refer to the additional infor-
mation section of this manual for the conversion
to 250 volt operation.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
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 A.C.
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.
FOR DUAL VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch
should be placed in the 125 position. For use in
several countries overseas, the voltage selector
may need to be placed in the 250 position. Con-
firm the voltage available at each overseas loca-
tion before using the appliance. For connection
to a 250 volt supply, use an attachment plug
adapter of the proper configuration for the
power supply receptacle.
For 110-125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 125 position.
In this position, the dryer operates on all avail-
able heat and speed settings.
For 220-250 Volt Operation
First put the HI-LO switch into LO. Flick the
dual voltage switch to the 250 position. At
220-250V while set at LO, the dryer operates
only at high speed with high heat.
Do not
attempt to operate the HI-LO switch or
change to 125 position when operating on
220-250V.
The switches must be set and
remain in the LO and 250 positions. A plug
adapter may be necessary in certain countries.
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 ALCI SAFETY FEATURE EVERY
TIME YOU USE 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.
1. Plug in the appliance and press test button
on plug (See appropriate diagram below).
2. The appliance will stop working. There will
be an audible click and reset button will pop
out.
3. To reset ALCI with a reset button, unit should
be unplugged. Then push reset button in, and
reinsert plug into outlet.
4. If ALCI is not functioning properly, return
appliance to nearest service center.
5. It is important that if immersion occurs, this unit
be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.
6. Be sure to repeat test every time you use the
unit to confirm ALCI is operational.
Should the appliance go off and the reset button
pop up during use, this could indicate a malfunc-
tion in the unit. Remove plug from outlet and allow
the appliance to cool. Reinsert plug into outlet.
The appliance should then function normally. If
not, return to an authorized Conair Service Cen-
ter 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
1. 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 dryer steadily across each section
so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct
air flow at hair not scalp. Clouds of negatively
charged ions will help to reduce static electric-
ity, control frizzy flyaways and contribute to your
hair’s shine.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed
and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid over drying, do not concentrate heat
on any one section for any extended length of
time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch ups, between shampoos,
dampen hair with a mist of water before styling
with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a warm-
er temperature setting, then finish styling with
Cool Shot feature to close hair shaft and lock
in style.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The professional Conair
®
Tourmaline Ionic Sty-
ler is very effective, even at lower temperatures,
and helps to give healthier-looking, shiny more
manageable hair with maximum styling con-
trol.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume,
turn head upside down
while drying. Position the
air flow toward the roots
for maximum lift. When
hair is dry, toss head back
and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections
when creating a super
straight look. Using a large
round brush (approximately
2” 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. For
curlier, wavier hair use the
diffuser attachment.

The Conair
®
Ionic Ceramic Styler is very
effective, even at lower temperatures, and helps
to give healthier-looking, shiny, more manage-
able hair with maximum styling control.
HIGH SPEED MOTOR
increases the velocity
at which air moves through the dryer
and into your hair, helping you dry and
style your hair faster. It minimizes heat damage
and makes hair less frizzy and more manageable.
CERAMIC HEAT TECHNOLOGY
will keep your
hair healthy and shiny. It generates full
spectrum, infrared heat which works on hair
molecules to dry them inside & out.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION
generates a cloud
of negative ions that can:
• neutralize the generally positive charge
on flyaway, frizzy hair
• eliminate static electricity
• contribute to shine

"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
