MAINTENANCE

Your appliance is virtually maintenance-free. For proper performance, the appliance must be kept clean. Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the appliance to overheat. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, allow to cool and clean dust and lint from air intake openings. The outer surface of the appliance should be wiped clean with a cloth only. If abnormal conditions occur, unplug the appliance, allow it to cool and return it for repair to an authorized service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.

IF YOU MUST USE YOUR APPLIANCE 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 GFCIs in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.

WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI? Electricity and water don't mix. If your Hot Air Brush falls into 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 far 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 which reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow. It will provide you with more protection than you get with your safety device.
