Safety Instructions
ALCI SAFETY DEVICE
This hair dryer is provided with an
appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI)
safety device built into the plug. This
device is designed to make the
unit inoperable under some abnormal
conditions, such as accidental immersion
in water. The ALCI safety device is
equipped with a test button so that its
operation can be checked. This unit should
be tested before each use to confirm that
the safety device is operational.
To Test:
After plugging in your hair dryer:
■
Press the reset button on the
ALCI device.
■
Press the test button. The reset button
will pop out. This verifies that the
safety device is operating properly.
■
Press the reset button to reactivate
your ALCI safety device.
■
Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
Note: This unit may automatically trip
when unplugged. If so, unit must be reset
after it is plugged in. After following the
above testing procedure, should the indi-
cator device not function properly, call
Remington Customer Service at
800-736-4648.
Should the ALCI safety device trip (i.e.,
reset button pops out) during use, press
the reset button. Should the dryer fail to
reset, call Remington Customer Service
at 800-736-4648. Never operate this
appliance if it has been dropped in water.
OVERHEATING
This appliance is equipped with an auto-
matic thermal limiter, which will cycle off
when overheated and come back on when
cooled down. If the unit cycles off, unplug
the cord for several minutes before
restarting.

can save a life!
If you must use your hair 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 a permanent unit
installed by your electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires
GFCI’s in bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.
Why do you need a GFCI?
Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls in 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 circum-
stances. A GFCI offers you 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.
