Conair 263 - Manual

STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections
when creating a super
straight look. Using a large
round brush (approximately
2" diameter), hold hair taut
in each section and bend
ends slightly under as
you dry.
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking
waves are easily created by
grasping hair at the roots
and scrunching between
fingertips while drying.
TOURMALINE CERAMIC™ HEAT
TECHNOLOGY will keep your hair healthy and
shiny. It generates infrared heat and natural ions
which work on hair molecules to dry them inside
and out. This drying process is gentle and quick;
it minimizes heat damage helping make hair less
frizzy and more manageable.

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
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
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 by 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.
10. Do not use an extension cord to
operate dryer.
11. Do not direct hot air toward eyes or other
heat-sensitive areas.
12. Attachments may be hot during use.
Allow them to cool before handling.
13. Do not place appliance on any surface
while it is operating.
14. While using the appliance, keep your hair
out of it. Keep your hair away from the
air inlets.
15. Do not use with voltage converter.
16. Be sure dual voltage selector is in correct
voltage position before operating. Before
plugging in, read the information about dual
voltage contained in the instruction section
of this manual.
17. This appliance was set at the factory
to operate at 125 volts. Refer to the
following section of this manual for
conversion to 250 volts operation.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only.
Use on Alternating Current (50/60 Hz) only.
This dryer is designed to operate at 110/125 or
220/250 volts AC.
This appliance was set at the factory to
operate at 110/125 volts. Make sure the dual
voltage selector is in correct voltage position
before operating. Before plugging in, read the
information about dual voltage contained in the
instruction section of this manual.
FOR DUAL VOLTAGE DRYERS
For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch
should be placed in the 125 position. For use in
several countries overseas, the voltage selector
may need to be placed in the 250 position.
Confirm the voltage available at each overseas
location before using the appliance. For
connection to a 250 volt supply, use an
attachment plug adapter of the proper
configuration for the power supply receptacle.
For 110-125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 125 position.
In this position, the dryer operates on all available
heat and speed settings.
For 220-250 Volt Operation
Unplug the unit. The switch should be set at OFF
position. Change the dual voltage switch to the
250 position. Operate the unit between LOW and
OFF settings only. At 250V setting, the unit will
operate at high speed/high heat. When at 250V
setting, do not attempt to select high setting or
change the dual voltage switch to 125 position.
A plug adapter may be necessary in certain countries.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
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.
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, unit 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 malfunc-
tion 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. Using the dryer
along with your styling brush, start at a lower
setting and direct hot air through a section of
hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across
each section so that the hot air passes
through hair. Direct air flow at hair, not scalp.
Natural ions generated by the Tourmaline
Ceramic™ heat will help to reduce static

electricity, control frizzy flyaways and
contribute to your hair’s shine.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed
and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid over-drying, do not concentrate heat
on any one section for any length of time.
Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch-ups between shampoos,
dampen hair with a mist of water before
styling with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a
warmer temperature setting, then finish
styling with cool setting to close hair shaft
and lock in style
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The Conair ® Mini Pro Tourmaline Ceramic™
Styler is very effective, even at lower
temperatures, and helps to give healthier-looking,
shiny, more manageable hair with maximum
styling control.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn
head upside down while
drying. Position the air flow
toward the roots for
maximum lift. When hair is
dry, toss head back and
brush hair into place.
