IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially
when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING

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
immediately. Do not reach into the water.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of
burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. This appliance should never be left
unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance should not be used by, on, or
near children or individuals with certain
disabilities.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not
use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
4. Never operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been dropped,
damaged, or 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
opening or hose.
9. Do not use outdoors or operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.

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.
IMPORTANT
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, units
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
malfunction 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
Center 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. Section
hair.
2. Set your heat/speed setting to “high” (which
is part of the ionizing function), the ion
generator will reduce static electricity,
control frizzy flyaways and contribute to your
hair’s shine.
3. If you use the dryer with a styling brush (the
professional way to style and dry at the
same time), brush each strand from
underneath as you direct hot air to top of
strand, always moving slowly and steadily
up and down each strand. This way, you’ll be
aiming heat at your hair, not at your scalp.
4. For quick touch-ups between shampoos,
mist hair to dampen it before styling with
dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a low
temperature setting, then set your style by
pressing the cool shot button. This will help
to set your style.
The Conair ® EcoDry Styler is very effective,
even at lower temperatures, and helps to give
healthier-looking, shiny, more manageable hair
with maximum styling control.
This dryer represents Conair’s commitment to
reducing carbon gas emissions. Our EcoDry
Styler is packaged in 100% post-consumer
recyclable material and uses all soy-based inks.
This product has been redesigned to use up to
50% less plastic* and less packaging material.
The smaller dryer and packaging size increases
shipping and material efficiencies by up to
33%*. The new, unique stepped heater design
increases heating efficiency while using 25%
less energy*.
*when compared to other Conair 1875W dryers
The 1400 watts of power and special
heater design allows you to dry your hair as
effectively as an 1875 watt dryer but with
less heat damage. This drying process is
gentle and quick; it minimizes heat damage
and makes hair less frizzy and more
manageable.
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
