LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
POLARIZED PLUG
– This appliance may have a polarized plug –one blade is wider
than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, do not use appliance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance as this could place undue
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR
IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
NOTE
: Never block air intake grille, as this will cause the unit to overheat. Should
this happen, a built-in-safety system will operate, and the unit will shut off
automatically. Turn the switch to OFF and wait before attempting to operate
appliance again. If the unit fails to operate after 10 minutes, it may indicate that the
appliance has sustained extensive internal damage. Do not try to repair it yourself.
See warranty for instructions.
CAUTION:
Heating section should never be touched as it may be hot and burns may
occur. To avoid possible scalp or hair burns, use very hot setting only when hair is
wet. Reduce to lower heat as hair dries. Do not keep appliance directed at one
place; keep it in constant motion. This is especially important if drying a wig, which
could be damaged by heat. For maximum airflow, hold dryer no closer to the head
than six inches.
NOTE:
This appliance is designed with a protective coating around the heating coils.
When operating the first few times, there may be momentary smoking when unit is
switched OFF. This represents no danger to the user and does not indicate a defect
in the unit. This smoke should dissipate within a short time. To extend the life of the
dryer, it is advisable to switch it to the coolest setting for a few seconds before
shutting it off.
