and safety precautions
involved.
∙ Children must not be
permitted to carry out any
cleaning or maintenance
work on the appliance
unless they are supervised.
∙ Children must not be
permitted to play with the
appliance.
∙ Caution: keep any packaging materials
well away from children, as they are
a potential source of danger e.g. from
suffocation.
∙ Electric heating appliances operate at
very high temperatures. Do not touch
any part of the appliance except the
housing. Burns can occur from touching
the hot parts.
∙ Do not use the appliance on synthetic
hair-pieces or wigs. The heat emitted
might cause damage to the synthetic
fibres.
∙ Make sure the air intake and outlet
openings are not blocked by fingers or
hair and that no lint particles are allowed
to accumulate in the air intake.
∙ The thermal cut-out will otherwise
operate to switch the appliance off. If
this does occur, remove the plug from
the socket and clear the blockage.
Once the appliance has cooled down, it
may be switched on again.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fitted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ Protect the appliance from moisture and
splashing water and do not operate it
with wet hands.
∙ 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 power cord around the
appliance.
∙ Make sure hot attachments are kept
away from the scalp.
∙ Always switch off and remove the
plug from the wall socket
- after use, as well as
- in cases of malfunction, and
- before changing any attachment.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
