to carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work on the
appliance unless they are
supervised.
∙ Caution: Do not use
the appliance near
bath tubs, washbasins
or any other receptacle
containing water.
∙ 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 fi tting an earth-
leakage circuit-breaker with
a rated tripping current not
exceeding 30mA into your
bathroom installation. Please
consult a qualifi ed electrician.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these are
a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Protect the appliance from moisture and
splashing water and do not operate it with
wet hands.
∙ Electric heating appliances operate at
very high temperatures. Do not touch
any part of the appliance except the grip.
Otherwise there is a real risk of burning.
∙ Do not use the appliance on synthetic
hair-pieces or wigs, as the heat emitted
might cause damage to the synthetic
fi bres.
∙ Make sure the air intake and outlet
openings are not blocked (e.g. by fi ngers
or hair), and that no fl uff or fi bre particles
are allowed to accumulate in the air
intake.
∙ A blockage in the air-fl ow system may
cause the integral thermal safety cut-out
to switch off the appliance. Should
this occur, immediately disconnect the
appliance from the mains power and
allow suffi cient time for it to cool down
before the blockage is removed and the
appliance is switched on again.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fi tted 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.
∙ 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.
∙ Do not leave the appliance unattended
while in use.
∙ Always switch off and remove the plug
