5. MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!: always disconnect the dryer before cleaning.
A- Cleaning the dryer:
- Your dryer needs very little maintenance. You can wipe with a dry or damp cloth.
Removable grill for easy maintenance:
this appliance is equipped with a rear grill and an ultra-fine filter (Fig.31) so as
to prevent hair from entering the appliance. It is recommended to clean the fil-
ter regularly.
- Never use surgical spirit or similar to clean your dryer.
- Never immerse the dryer or attachments in water.
- Dry the parts you have cleaned very carefully.
B- Cleaning the attachments:
- We recommend regular cleaning of the straightener attachments with
the small cleaning brush provided.
- First remove the straightener attachment, then remove any hair clogging the
plates, using the part of the cleaning attachment with rigid teeth (Fig.32), then
finish with the soft brush.
6. PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
At the end of the life of your product, it should go to a specially-adapted waste recycling centre.
7. IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM
LISSIMA blows cool air !:
1) You have inadvertently pressed the "cool shot" button
2) The thermostat has cut out because the "Ultra-liss system" or rear grill need cleaning with the cleaning
attachment (cf. Paragraph 5).
If the problem persists after cleaning, contact the After-Sales Service.
3) You are allowing your hair to remain too long in contact with the "Ultra-liss system".
The straightening effect is not efficient enough !:
Your hair is too wet, dry it off a little.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS - FOR U.K. ONLY.SAFETY NOTES FOR REWIREA-
BLE OR MOULDED PLUG
The mains lead of this appliance may be already fitted with a BS 1363 13 A plug. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, a 13 A ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used.
If your socket outlet is not suitable for the plug, then the plug must be removed (cut off if it is a moulded on
plug) and an appropriate one fitted. Warning : dispose of a plug that has been cut from the power supply
cord, as such a plug is hazardous if inserted in a live 13 A socket outlet elsewhere in the house.
Always replace the fuse cover after fitting a fuse. The plug must NOT be used if the cover is omitted or lost
until a replacement is obtained - make certain that only the correct fuse cover is used and fitted.
For plugs with a detachable fuse cover the replacement must be the same as the colour insert in the base of
the plug, or as directly by the embossed wording on the base of the plug.
If the detachable fuse cover is lost, a replacement may be purchased from an approved Rowenta Service
Centre (see enclosed Service Information leaflet). Information for supply may also be obtained from the plug
manufacturer.
