Important safety instructions
●
Caution: do not use the
appliance in the vicinity of a
bath, shower or swimming-
pool, over a washbasin filled
with water or near any other receptacle
containing water.
Protect the appliance from moisture and
splashing water and do not operate it
with wet hands.
●
In the vicinity of any water source, there
is a risk even when the appliance is
switched off. Therefore, always remove
the plug from the wall socket after use,
especially if the appliance is being used in
a bathroom.
Additional protection is available by
fitting an earth-leakage circuit-breaker
with a rated tripping current not
exceeding 30mA into your bathroom
installation. Please consult a qualified
electrician.
●
The heating plates operate at very high
temperatures. Caution: skin contact with
these parts may cause burns. Do not
touch any part of the appliance except
the grip area.
To prevent damage to the hair caused by
the high temperature, contact between
the hair and the heating plates should be
limited to a few seconds at a time.
●
Do not use the appliance on synthetic
hair-pieces or wigs, as the heat emitted
might cause damage to the synthetic
fibres.
●
Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachments should
be checked thoroughly for any defects. If
the appliance, for instance, has been
dropped onto a hard surface, it must no
longer be used: even invisible damage
may have adverse effects on its
operational safety.
●
The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
●
Do not operate the appliance if excessive
force has been used to pull the power
cord. Damage cannot always be detected
from the outside; the entire unit should
therefore be checked by a qualified
technician before it is used again.
●
To prevent damage to the power cord,
- do not bend or kink the cable,
especially where it leaves the housing,
- do not pull on the cord,
- do not coil the cord around the
appliance.
●
Do not leave the appliance unattended
while in use.
●
Take special care not to let any hot parts
of the appliance come into contact with
the scalp, ears or face.
●
Do not allow the power cord to touch
hot surfaces.
●
Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- after use,
- in case of any malfunction, and
- before cleaning the appliance.
●
When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
