Safety instructions
ƽ
Important information for your
safety!
ƽ
To avoid a life-threatening electric
shock:
• Never touch the appliance or the power plug
with wet or moist hands, as long as the power
plug is in the wall socket!
• Never use the appliance near water, particularly
not near sinks, baths or other vessels .
• Make sure that the power cord never becomes
wet or damp during operation. Lay the cord such
that it cannot be pinched or otherwise damaged.
If the power cord or the power plug are dama-
ged, you must not continue to use the appliance
before having had it repaired by customer
service.
• Alway pull the plug out of the wall socket after
use, particularly if you use the appliance in the
bathroom.
It is not sufficient to simply switch off the applian-
ce – line voltage is still present in the appliacne
as long as the power plug is connected to the
wall socket.
• Make sure that no objects can ever reach the
inside of the appliance, particularly not metal
hair clips, grips or hairpins.
Tip: An RCD on the bathroom circuit provides
additional protection. For more information, please
consult an electrcian.
ƽ
To prevent the risk of fire or injury:
• The appliance components can become quite
hot during operation. Therefore only touch the
handle and the buttons.
• Always only use the appliance with attachments,
never on its own, as the connector for the acces-
sories becomes hot during operation.
• Allow the appliance to cool down before
attaching or detaching accessories.
• Only use the enclosed original accessories, as
they have been optimized to work with this appli-
ance. Other parts are possibly not adequately
safe.
• Keep the openings for air inlet and outlet vacant
for unimpaired air flow. Otherwise the appliance
may overheat.
• Be careful with hair spray, water atomizers etc.
On the one hand the air flow may blow these
substances directly into your eyes. On the other
hand these substances must not enter the
appliance – as they may be inflammable,
aggressive or conductive.
• Do not allow individuals (including children) to
use the appliance whose physical, sensorial or
mental abilities or lack of experience and know-
ledge hinder their safe usage of it if they have
not previously been supervised or instructed in its
correct usage.
• Tell children about the appliance and its potenti-
al dangers so that they do not play with it.
