TO TEST:  
Your local electrician can help you decide which  
type is best for youa portable unit that plugs into  
the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed  
by your electrician. The National Electrical Code  
now requires GFCIs in bathrooms, garages, and  
outdoor outlets of all new homes.  
After plugging in your hair dryer:  
A. Press the reset button on the  
ALCI device.  
B.Press the test button. The reset button  
will pop out. This verifies that the  
safety device is operating properly.  
5. 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.  
Why do you need a GFCI?  
C.Press the reset button to reactivate  
your ALCI safety device.  
Electricity and water dont mix. If your hair dryer  
falls in water while its plugged in, the electric  
shock can kill youeven if the switch is off.”  
A regular fuse or circuit breaker wont protect  
you under these circumstances. A GFCI offers  
you greater protection.  
D.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 indicator device not function  
properly, return the dryer to Remington  
Customer Service for examination and  
repair or replacement.  
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.

Helical Fan Design  
If you look down through the top of the dryer, you will

see that the fan is not centered within the top grille area.  
This is not a cause for concern. This is a natural part of  
the design and it maximizes flow efficiency.

SuperSonicDryer Technology  
Wet hair holds 90% of its moisture in its inner  
layer. Air that is too hot causes hair’s outer  
layer to seal shut – trapping water inside and  
slowing down the drying process.  
5 Ionic ports for more  
ionic conditioning  
Negative ions neutralize the positive ions  
that cause static and frizzies. Leaves hair  
shiny and healthy-looking.  
The SuperSonic dryer generates more airflow  
than other dryers so it can use less heat to dry  
hair more quickly. And less heat equals less  
hair damage.  
Ceramic Radiant Heat Technology  
Ceramic emits far-infrared, radiant heat to  
help dry water molecules inside the hair  
strand. This fast and efficient process helps  
prevent heat damage for less frizz and more  
shine.  
Fast Air Concentrator  
Exclusive vent design pulls in more  
air for faster precision styling.  
 
No matter what style you ultimately achieve with this  
dryer and a brush (your hairdresser may recommend  
a particular one), the first step is to remove most of  
the moisture from your hair. Start by blotting hair dry  
with a towel (rubbing creates tangles).  
COOL SHOT  
Once you fully dry your hair and fashion the style, press  
the Cool Shot button to setthe style.  
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.  
Return to Remington Customer Service for repairs.  
BEGIN TO SHAPE  
With a wide-tooth comb, start at the nape of your  
neck and comb out small sections of hair at a time.  
Put the dryer on HIGH air speed and HIGH heat, and  
rotate nozzle quickly all over head, fluffing up hair  
with fingers. Starting at nape of neck and moving  
up, brush hair from scalp out to the ends, always  
following movement of brush with dryer (keep dryer  
8 inches from scalp). Then quickly do the same  
thing, starting from the front and sides of head down  
to the nape, brushing in the direction of your hair  
from scalp out to the ends.  
2. Keep all intake openings clear of dust accumulation.  
See Cleaning Instructionsbelow. No other  
maintenance or lubrication is required.  
3. If the cord becomes twisted due to use, periodically  
straighten it. Store appliance and cord where they will  
not be damaged. Do not wrap cord around dryer.  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. The dryer needs minimum maintenance to ensure the  
best performance and long life.  
2. The air filter should be cleaned regularly, since  
a dirty or clogged filter will impair the efficiency  
of the dryer.  
3. To clean air filter, make sure dryer is turned off and  
plug is pulled out of outlet. Use soft bristle brush or  
damp cloth to remove any particles that are lodged in  
the air grille top and bottom.  
Hair should now be damp and ready for styling.  
Adjust air speed and heat setting and you’re  
ready to style.
