Remington Customer Service at  
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  
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.  
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.

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.  
If you must use your hair dryer in  
the bathroom, install a GFCI* now!  
To Test:  
After plugging in your hair dryer:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Your hair dryer is now ready for use.  
A GFCI can save your life!  
Compared to that, the price is small!  
Note: This unit may automatically trip  
when unplugged. If so, unit must be reset  
after it is plugged in. After following the  
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.

SuperSonic Features  
SuperSonic Dryer 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.

Ceramic radiant heat  
technology  
The SuperSonic® dryer gener-  
ates more airflow so it can  
use less heat to dry hair more  
quickly. And less heat equals  
less hair damage.  
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.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
How to Use  
For curly hair:  
Use dryer on a low heat and speed setting  
Basic Drying Techniques  
Maintenance Instructions  
Cleaning Instructions  
The air filter should be cleaned regularly,  
since a dirty or clogged filter will impair the  
efficiency of the dryer.  
1. To clean air filter, make sure dryer is  
turned off and unplugged.  
2. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove  
any particles that are lodged in filter.  
3. If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a dampcloth.  
The dryer needs minimum maintenance to  
ensure the best performance and long life.  
Do not attempt to repair the appliance  
yourself.  
1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess  
water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel –  
this creates split ends and frizziness.  
Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.  
2. Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer  
into an electrical outlet.  
and move it quickly about your head. As  
you dry your hair, scrunch it with your  
favorite styling product or twirl strands of  
hair around your fingers to add definition.  
When finished drying, lock in the style with  
the Cool Shot.  
Keep all intake openings clear of dust  
accumulation. See “Cleaning Instructions.”  
No other maintenance or lubrication is  
required.  
If the cord becomes twisted due to use,  
periodically straighten it. Store appliance  
and cord where they will not be dam-  
aged. Do not wrap cord around dryer.  
3. Turn the dryer on and set it to a high  
heat and speed. Remove some of the  
additional moisture from your hair by  
briskly blow drying it all over, using your  
fingers to "comb" through hair.  
4. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat  
and speed to the desired settings and  
begin to style.  
5. Divide hair into manageable sections.  
Begin at the nape of your neck and  
brush hair, following the movement of  
the brush with the dryer. Continue  
working your way up to your scalp, then  
to the sides and the front, drying small  
sections at a time.  
6. Once your desired style is achieved,  
push the Cool Shot button to set the style  
with a cool flow of air.  
Hair Care Tips  
Keep the dryer about 8 inches away  
from your head to avoid burning scalp or  
damaging hair.  
Always keep the dryer pointed down the  
hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and  
create a silky, shiny style.  
To help prevent heat damage and add  
shine, spritz damp hair with a heat  
protection spray before blow drying.  
To create a style with lots of body, apply  
volumizing mousse to towel-dried hair.  
Distribute it evenly from roots to ends,  
then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft,  
shiny, and full of volume.  
For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry,  
finish by running a straightening iron  
over dried hair.  
For a quick touch-up between sham-  
poos, mist hair to dampen it, then style  
with dryer.  
Storage  
When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it  
to cool, and store out of reach of children in a  
safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord  
around the appliance, as this will cause  
the cord to wear prematurely and break.  
Handle the cord carefully, and avoid jerking,  
twisting, or straining it, especially at plug  
connections.  
International Operation  
International Operation  
The SuperSonic® hair dryer is perfect for  
home or travel abroad. The dryer converts  
easily to foreign voltages so it can accompany  
you anywhere.  
indicator lines up with the desired voltage. The  
250 volt setting can be used in any country  
that operates at a voltage greater than 125.  
In a 220/240 volt country, the dryer will oper-  
ate only on the LOW setting. Do not force the  
unit to the HIGH setting—the HIGH setting will  
not work at 250 volts. Even though the dryer  
is set to LOW, the higher voltage coming into  
the unit results in the unit operating at a HIGH  
heat/airflow. The LOW setting on 250 volts will  
provide full heat and airflow to dry your hair.  
For straight, smooth hair:  
In North America  
With the dryer turned off, attach the  
concentrator to the end of the nozzle. Turn  
the driver on and brush hair from under-  
neath using a large, round brush or paddle  
brush. Pull hair down until the hair is fully  
extended and taut. Run the dryer slowly  
down the length of the hair several times  
until dry. Repeat with all sections of hair  
until it is completely dried. Lock in the style  
with the Cool Shot.  
Your dryer is pre-set to run on North American  
voltage (125 volts), so no voltage adjustment  
is necessary before using it in Canada,  
Mexico, or the United States.  
Outside North America  
Many foreign countries operate on 220/240  
voltage. If you plan to travel to a country that  
uses 220/240 volts, you will need to set the  
dryer’s voltage selector to 250 volts before  
you can use it there. With the  
A plug adapter is necessary when traveling to  
countries where the 220/240 volt setting is  
required. 220/240-volt plugs are configured  
differently from country to country, however,  
so make sure to buy the appropriate adapter  
for the area you’re visiting (square, round,  
two- or three-pronged). Adapters are sold at  
local appliance and hardware stores at a  
modest cost.
