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 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.

Note: This unit may automatically trip 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.

1.Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e., reset button pops out) during use, press the reset button. Should the air styler fail to reset, call Remington Customer Service at 800-736-4648. Never operate this appliance if it has been dropped in water; contact Remington Customer Service at 800-736-4648.

2.The dryer is designed to work on ordinary household current only, 125 volts A.C.,

60Hz. It is not intended for commercial use.

3.This appliance is equipped with an automatic thermal limiter, which will cycle off when over- heated 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 fea- ture, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the out- let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, con- tact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

This message about

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.
