SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for: 110/125V, 50/60 Hz, 1000/1100W

When plugging the appliance into the outlet prior to use, be aware that the 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.

The CHI Dryer has been designed with an ALCI plug protective device that may make the appliance inoperable under some abnormal conditions (such as, but not limited to, immersions of the appliance). This protective device helps to prevent electric shocks.

If the CHIDryer does not turn on when the switch is turned to the On position, be sure that the red “RESET” button on the plug is depressed. In the case of local electrical interruptions, be sure to reset the plug before using it again.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT ALCI SAFETY PLUG

1. "TEST" button ensures the ALCI plug device is operational.
2. “RESET” button clears the ground fault and restores the ALCI to normal operation.
3. The ALCI should be tested before every use.
4. When “RESET” button extends out, the ALCI has operated. In such event, turn the tool off and press “RESET” button. Turn the tool back on. If the tool does not operate, the appliance is not in proper functioning condition and is to be discarded or returned.
5. If there is any indication that the appliance does not operate in the proper functioning condition, it should be returned (See “LIMITED WARRANTY” Section).

INTERRUPTERS

...CAN SAVE A LIFE!

IF YOU MUST USE YOUR 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 permanent unit installed by your electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires GFCI's in the bathroom, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.

WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI? ELECTRICITY AND WATER DON'T MIX.

Safety warning symbol showing a plug with a power outlet and waves, indicating no protection or discharge.

If your hair dryer falls in the 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.
