Overview

This document describes the Remington AC Motor Dryer, model AC-2015, a household appliance designed for hair drying and styling.

Function Description:

The Remington AC Motor Dryer is an electrical appliance used for drying and styling hair. It operates by generating a stream of air, which can be adjusted for heat and speed, to remove moisture from hair and help shape it. A key safety feature is the integrated Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCI) safety device within the plug, designed to prevent electric shock in abnormal conditions, such as accidental immersion in water. This device makes the unit inoperable under such circumstances and includes a test button to verify its functionality before each use. The dryer also incorporates an automatic thermal limiter that cycles the unit off if it overheats, restarting once it has cooled down. The appliance is designed for use with ordinary household current (125 volts A.C., 60 Hz) and is not intended for commercial applications.

Usage Features:

Before using, users should gently towel dry their hair to remove excess water, avoiding vigorous rubbing to prevent split ends and frizz. The hair should then be detangled with a wide-toothed comb. The dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet. It features a power switch to turn it on and off, along with controls for adjusting heat and speed. Users should select a high heat and speed setting initially to remove most moisture, using their fingers to comb through hair. Once hair is almost dry, the heat and speed can be lowered for styling.

The dryer allows for sectional drying, starting from the nape of the neck and working upwards, following the movement of a brush with the dryer. It includes a "Cool Shot" button, which, when pressed and held, provides a cool stream of air to set styles. Releasing the button returns the airflow to warm.

For straight, smooth hair, an airflow concentrator attachment can be used. This attachment is fitted to the nozzle, and hair is brushed from underneath with a large, round or paddle brush. The hair should be pulled taut, and the dryer moved slowly down the length of the hair several times until dry. The Cool Shot can then be used to lock in the style.

For curly hair, the dryer should be used on a low heat and speed setting, moving it quickly around the head. Hair can be scrunched with styling product or twirled around fingers to add definition. The Cool Shot can be used to finish and set the style.

Users are advised to keep the dryer about 8 inches away from the head to prevent scalp burns or hair damage. For optimal results, the dryer should be pointed down the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and create a silky, shiny finish. A heat protection spray can be used on damp hair before blow drying to prevent heat damage and add shine. For added body, volumizing mousse can be applied to towel-dried hair and distributed evenly before blow drying. For a super smooth, salon-like finish, a straightening iron can be used on dried hair. For quick touch-ups between shampoos, hair can be misted to dampen it before styling with the dryer.

The appliance features a polarized plug, with one blade wider than the other, as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit, the plug should be reversed. If it still does not fit, a qualified electrician should be contacted.

Maintenance Features:

The dryer requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Users should not attempt to repair the appliance themselves. All intake openings must be kept clear of dust accumulation. The air filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain efficiency. To clean the air filter, ensure the dryer is turned off and unplugged. The air inlet grille should be gently rotated clockwise and lifted away from the dryer. A soft bristle brush can be used to remove any lodged particles. If the unit is dirty, it can be wiped with a damp cloth. To replace the air inlet, align the locking tabs and rotate counter-clockwise to secure it.

The cord should be periodically straightened if it becomes twisted during use. The appliance and cord should be stored in a way that prevents damage, avoiding wrapping the cord around the dryer. When not in use, the unit should be unplugged, allowed to cool, and stored in a safe, dry location out of reach of children. The cord should be handled carefully, avoiding jerking, twisting, or straining, especially at plug connections.
