After plugging in your hair dryer:
- 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.
- Your hair dryer is now ready for use.Note: This unit may automatically trip when unplugged. If so, the unit must be reset after it is plugged in. If the dryer doesn’t reset after following the above testing procedure, call 800-736-4648.

If you must use your hair dryer in the bathroom, install a GFCI* now!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.
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 circumstances.A GFCI offers you greater protection.
GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.
