1. After unpacking, make sure that the appliance is intact with no signs of damage

caused by transport. Should you have any doubts, do not use the appliance and take
it to an authorised IMETEC Service Centre.

2. The packaging is not a toy! If present, keep the plastic bag out of the reach of

children (risk of suffocation)

3. Before connecting the appliance, check that the rating plate specifications

correspond to the electrical mains supply. The plate is on the appliance.

4. Do not use adapters, multiple sockets and/or extension cords. If the appliance’s

socket and the plug are incompatible, have the socket replaced with a suitable type
by qualified staff.

5. This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it has been designed,

that is, as a hair straightener. Any other use is to be considered improper and
therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage
due to improper or incorrect use.

6. For extra protection, you are advised to install a differential circuit breaker with a

nominal operating differential current of max. 30 mA in the electric circuit of the
bathroom. Ask the installer for advice about this.

7. The use of any electric appliance implies the observance of some fundamental rules.

Specifically:
- never touch the appliance with hands or feet that are wet or damp;
- do not use the appliance with bare feet;
- do not tug the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket;
- do not leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc.);
- do not let children play with the appliance.

8. Do not let anyone (including children) who is unable to operate the appliance safely

(due to a mental, physical or sensory handicap, inexperience or incompetence) use
this appliance unless under strict supervision or with the help of a responsible
person.

9. When using the appliance in the bathroom, disconnect it from the mains after use,

since leaving it near water can be hazardous even when it is switched off.

10. Before cleaning or servicing the appliance, disconnect it from the mains by pulling

out the plug.

11. Should the appliance break down and/or not work properly, turn it off and do not

tamper with it. If it needs repairing, take it to an authorised IMETEC Service Centre.

12. Do not attempt to replace the power cord. If it is damaged or needs replacing,

contact an authorised IMETEC Service Centre.

13. To avoid dangerous overheating, we recommend unwinding the power cord

completely during use and disconnecting the plug from the socket when the
appliance is not in use.

14. Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance.
15. Never use hair sprays while the appliance is working.
