Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
HAIRDRYER AND STRAIGHTENER.
• These appliances must not come into contact
with water or any other liquid.
• Always switch off your appliances at the power
outlet and remove the plug when not in use.
• Do not store your appliances near tubs, basins,
baths or other vessels containing water or any
other liquid.

unplug it after use as the proximity of water
presents a hazard even when the unit is
switched off.
• Take care to avoid contact with the face and
neck when the styling plates are hot.
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the
cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and before
cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on
the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot
gas flame, electric element or on a heated
oven. Do not place on top of any other
appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance
hang over the edge of a table or bench top or
touch any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. If
damage is suspected, return the appliance
to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid unless recommended.
