OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, the 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 doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If this unit shuts itself off, first press
the reset button on the ALCI plug. If it still does not run, the thermal protectors that
are built into this dryer may have operated. If the unit still does not run after being
allowed to cool, return the unit for servicing.
ALCI SHOCK PROTECTION
This Andis hair dryer has been manufactured with an appliance leakage circuit
interrupter (ALCI) (Figure A) This mechanism will shut the dryer off (making it
inoperable) under abnormal conditions, such as falling or being immersed in water.
The ALCI shock protection is equipped with a test and a reset button.
TEST BEFORE EACH USE
1. Plug the ALCI Shock Protection Plug into a 110-120 volt electrical outlet
(ordinary household current). Do not attempt to use any other electrical outlet.
2. Before attempting to switch the dryer on, perform the following test: Press the
test button, the reset button should pop up. This confirms that the safety plug is
working properly.
3. Now press the reset button and your dryer will be operable and the power switch
of your dryer may be turned on for normal use.
4. If the dryer does not operate in the properly, it should be either returned to an
Andis authorized service station for examination, or discarded.
VOLTAGE SELECTION
Be sure dryer is OFF before attempting to change voltage selection. To set the
required voltage, slide the voltage selector switch (on the side of the dryer) to the
appropriate voltage marking (Figure B). For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector
switch should be placed in the 125 volt position. For use in several countries
overseas, the voltage selector switch may need to be placed in the 250 volt position.
Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using the dryer.
When operating at 250 volts, the unit will only work with the switch in
position LOW. This setting will provide high heat and high blower speed.
Do not try to operate with the switch in position HIGH when operating at
