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 con-
firm that the safety device is operational.
2. The dryer is designed to work on ordinary

60 Hz. It is not intended for commercial use.
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.
To test:
After plugging in your hair dryer:
3. This appliance is equipped with an automatic
thermal limiter, which will cycle off when over-
heated and come back on when cooled down.
If the unit cycles off, unplug the cord for several
minutes before restarting.
1. Press the reset button on the
ALCI device.
2. Press the test button. The reset button
will pop out. This verifies that the
safety device is operating properly.
Why do you need a GFCI?
3. Press the reset button to reactivate
your ALCI safety device.
4. This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety fea-
ture, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the out-
let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, con-
tact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
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 circumstances. A GFCI
offers you greater protection.
4. Your hair dryer is now ready for use.
Note: This unit may automatically trip
when unplugged. If so, the unit must be
reset after it is plugged in. After
following the above testing procedure,
should the indicator device not function
properly, call Remington Customer
Service at 800-736-4648.
A GFCI can save your life!
Compared to that, the price is small!
Don’t wait…
install one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immedi-
ately to a small electric current leak by stopping
the electricity flow.
