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
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.

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.
