Safety instructions
Important information for your
safety!
To avoid a life-threatening electric
shock:
• Never touch the appliance or the
power plug with wet or moist hands,
as long as the power plug is in the
wall socket!
• Never use the appliance near water,
particularly not near sinks, baths or
other vessels
.
• Make sure that the power cord never
becomes wet or damp during opera-
tion. Lay the cord such that it cannot
be pinched or otherwise damaged. If
the power cord or the power plug are
damaged, you must not continue to
use the appliance before having had
it repaired by customer service.
• Alway pull the plug out of the wall
socket after use, particularly if you
use the appliance in the bathroom.
It is not sufficient to simply switch
off the appliance – line voltage is still
present in the appliacne as long as
the power plug is connected to the
wall socket.
• Make sure that no objects can ever
reach the inside of the appliance,
particularly not metal hair clips, grips
or hairpins.
Tip: An RCD on the bathroom circuit
provides additional protection. For
more information, please consult an
electrcian.
To prevent the risk of fire or injury:
• The appliance components can
become quite hot during operation.
Therefore only touch the handle
and the buttons.
• Always only use the appliance with
attachments, never on its own, as
the connector for the accessories
becomes hot during operation.
• Allow the appliance to cool down
before attaching or detaching
accessories.
• Only use the enclosed original acces-
sories, as they have been optimized to
work with this appliance. Other parts
are possibly not adequately safe.
• Keep the openings for air inlet and
outlet vacant for unimpaired air flow.
Otherwise the appliance may overheat.
• Be careful with hair spray, water
atomizers etc. On the one hand the
air flow may blow these substances
directly into your eyes. On the other
hand these substances must not
enter the appliance – as they may
be inflammable, aggressive or con-
ductive.
• Do not allow infirm persons or
children handle heatgenerating
household appliances without
supervision – they may possibly
not be able to correctly assess the
potential danger.
