The Remington Hydraluxe Hair Dryer (model AC8901AU) is a hair styling appliance designed to dry hair at a lower heat for healthier-looking results, incorporating advanced conditioning technology for smooth, shiny hair. It comes with a 5-year warranty, indicating its durability and the manufacturer's confidence in its quality.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Hydraluxe Hair Dryer is to dry hair efficiently while minimizing heat damage. It achieves this through its Moisture Lock Conditioning Technology, which releases micro-conditioners onto the hair during drying to help preserve the perfect balance of moisture. Additionally, it features Ionic Conditioning, distributing millions of ions to ensure a smooth, shiny finish, reducing frizz and enhancing hair's natural luster. The Hydracare setting is a key feature, allowing the dryer to operate at a lower temperature, which is ideal for healthier styling and protecting hair from excessive heat exposure. The dryer also includes a True Cold Shot function, which provides a burst of cool air to set hairstyles and lock them in place for longer-lasting results.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific power ratings (e.g., wattage) are not explicitly detailed in the provided manual excerpts, the device is designed for domestic use and should be connected to electrical voltage requirements as specified on its ratings label. It is equipped with an outlet grille featuring advanced conditioning technology, an inlet grille for air intake, and a hang-up loop for convenient storage. The controls include a heat selector switch with settings for low, Hydracare mode, and high, and a speed selector switch for low or high airflow.
Usage Features:
The Hydraluxe Hair Dryer is designed for ease of use and versatility, catering to various hair types and styling needs.
- Basic Hair Care: Users are instructed to wash and condition their hair as normal, then squeeze out excess moisture with a towel and comb through before using the dryer.
- Power and Speed Control: The dryer is plugged into the main power supply, and users can select their desired speed (low or high) using the speed selector switch.
- Heat Control: The heat selector switch allows users to choose between low heat, Hydracare mode (lower temperature for healthier styling), and high heat.
- Hydracare Function: This dedicated setting gently dries hair at a lower temperature, promoting healthier styling. It is activated via the Hydracare heat selector switch.
- Quick Drying: For faster drying, users can select the high heat and high speed settings, moving the dryer constantly and shaking out excess moisture with a brush or hand.
- Accessory Attachments: The dryer comes with three accessory attachments to suit different hair types and styling requirements:
- Slim Styling Concentrator (7mm): This attachment is designed for precise styling, directing airflow onto specific sections of hair. It's particularly useful for straightening hair and styling fringes.
- Wide Drying Concentrator (11mm): With a wider opening, this concentrator allows for faster drying and styling of larger hair sections. It can be used to create lift and add volume by drying roots upwards.
- Diffuser: This attachment is ideal for enhancing natural curls and waves or creating extra volume at the roots. When using the diffuser, users should gently place hair into the diffuser bowl, slightly rotating the dryer, or place the diffuser against the top of the head and gently rotate the dryer to massage the scalp. It is important not to use the diffuser on the highest heat setting.
- True Cold Shot: To set a finished style, the cold shot setting can be activated during styling.
- Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes several critical safety measures. It warns against using the appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins, or other vessels containing water, and advises unplugging it immediately after use, especially in a bathroom environment. It also states that the appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in and should not be used on sleeping individuals. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance, and cleaning/maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision. The appliance is not recommended for use on heavily treated/bleached hair, synthetic wigs, or hair extensions. Users are also advised not to block air openings, drop or insert objects into openings, or direct hot air towards eyes or other heat-sensitive areas.
Maintenance Features:
Proper maintenance is crucial for prolonging the life and performance of the Hydraluxe Hair Dryer.
- Cool Down: Before cleaning and storing, the appliance should be allowed to cool down completely.
- Inlet Grille Cleaning: To maintain peak product performance and extend motor life, it is important to regularly remove any dust and dirt from the inlet grille. The grille can be removed, cleaned with a cloth or soft brush, and then replaced.
- Overheat Protection: The dryer is equipped with an overheat protection system. If it overheats, it may stop unexpectedly or start blowing cold air. This is usually caused by a blocked grille/filter. In such cases, the user should immediately unplug the appliance and clean the grille/filter as described in the maintenance section. If overheating persists after cleaning, the appliance should be stopped, and customer service contacted.
- Cord Inspection: As with all electrical appliances, the power cord must be regularly checked for wear and tear. If the power cord shows any signs of damage, the product should be immediately ceased from use.
- Storage: The hang-up loop facilitates convenient storage.
The Remington Hydraluxe Hair Dryer is designed to be a user-friendly and effective tool for everyday hair styling, with a strong emphasis on hair health and user safety.
