Caution:

this symbol indicates precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to the appliance.

• Do not use this appliance for functions other than

those described in this booklet.

• After removing the appliance from its packaging,

ensure that it is complete and undamaged.
If in doubt contact a professionally qualified
electrician or Vortice*. Do not leave packaging within
the reach of children or the infirm.

• Certain fundamental rules must be observed when

using any electrical appliance, including: a) never
touch appliances with wet or damp hands; b) never
touch appliances while barefoot; c) do not allow

young children or infirm persons to use the
appliance without supervision; d) supervise young
children to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

• Store the appliance out of the reach of children and

infirm persons if you decide to disconnect it from the
power supply and no longer use it.

• Do not operate the appliance in the presence of

inflammable substances or vapours (alcohol,
insecticides, petrol, etc.).

• Do not make modifications of any kind to this

appliance.

• Do not expose this appliance to the weather

(rain, sun, etc.).

• Install this appliance in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions (fig. 3).

• Keep the appliance's intake and outlet grilles free to

ensure an optimum flow of air.

• Do not leave objects standing on the appliance.
• Choose the position in which to install the appliance

carefully to avoid interference with its automatic
operating system.

• Regularly inspect the appliance for visible defects.

If any faults are found, do not operate the appliance
but contact Vortice* immediately.

• If the appliance malfunctions or develops a fault,

contact Vortice* immediately. Ensure that only
genuine Vortice spares are used for any repairs.

• Should the appliance be dropped or suffer a heavy

blow, have it checked immediately by Vortice*.

• The appliance must be installed by a professionally

qualified electrician.

• Ensure that the electrical system to which the

appliance is connected complies with applicable
standards.

• A multi-pole switch must be used to install the

appliance. The gap between the switch contacts
must be no less than 3 mm.

• The appliance must be isolated from the electricty

supply: a) if the appliance does not function
correctly; b) before cleaning the outside of the
appliance, c) if the appliance is not to be used for
any length of time.

• The appliance is double insulated and therefore

does not need to be earthed.

• Check that the electrical power supply provides the

maximum electrical power required by the
appliance. If it cannot do so, arrange for a qualified
electrician to make the necessary modifications.

• See fig. 6A - 6B if the mains supply uses wires of

ø 7-10 mm, ø 14 mm, or rigid conduit of maximum
external ø 17 mm (Helios or equivalent). In these
cases, the rubber cable grommet must be cut down
or removed accordingly.

• The trimmers used to adjust the appliance are pre-

set in the factory (fig. 16-18).

• On automatic versions, if you want to adjust the

sensitivity of the optical sensors (fig. 16), you can
adjust the trimmer as required. On manual versions
you can adjust the trimmer (fig. 18) to vary drying
time. Adjust the trimmer at the time of installation.

N.B.
• If the appliance gets too hot, a special cutout

trips to protect the heating element. This device
resets automatically. In the event of a cutout
malfunction, a second safety device trips to
disconnect electrical power.

• The automatic version incorporates an anti-

vandal device that disconnects power after 5-10
minutes of continuous operation. Normal
functioning is restored as soon as the obstacle
causing continuous operation is removed.

• The appliance also incorporates a time-out

function that permits you to move away from the
hair dryer for between 2 and 5 seconds without
the appliance switching off.

• Whenever possible, it is recommended that the

automatic appliance be fitted well away from
radiators or other heating equipment, so as to
avoid the risk of heat compromising proper
operation of the electronic components.
