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.
■
As the heating plates operate at high
temperatures, contact with the hair should
be limited to a maximum of 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;
