The effects of direct sunlight on the appliance can include:
- accelerated deterioration of the appliance casing and its plastic and rubber components,
damage to strength and other structural features. The appliance’s surface may become porous
and fragile, which may result in a safety risk.
Continuous heavy duty use may cause:
- premature structural wear and tear of the electro-motor due to excessive use.
- premature wear and eventual blow out of the element.
- increased noise emission.
- general wear and tear of the appliance, and overheating of electric and mechanical components.
Storing the appliance in cold or frosty environment may cause:
- damage to the plastic and rubber components; if they become fragile, this may result
in a safety risk.
- oxidation resulting from condensation, and corrosion of the metal components.
Direct and indirect heat (e.g. being too close to an oven or a heating appliance) can cause:
- damage, deformation, softening or melting of plastic or rubber parts and casing elements, or
deterioration of electrical insulation.
Following the operating instructions and avoiding any of the conditions listed above will help you
increase the lifespan of the appliance. The manufacturer is not responsible if the appliance is stored
inappropriately or contrary to these instructions. You are recommended to have the appliance
serviced regularly by an authorised engineer to keep it working for as long as possible.
Please respect the environment when the appliance reaches the end of its life. Electrical products
must not be disposed of with other residential waste because they can damage the natural world
and may be hazardous to human health. You should dispose of the appliance at an appropriate
recycling site or by using a collection service that specialises in electrical appliances.
You may wish to contact the retailer or the manufacturer if you are unable to find convenient local
recycling facilities as they have some legal responsibilities for recycling electrical products.
Please keep this instruction manual. If you give the appliance to anyone else, you must give them
this instruction manual, too!

Never block the dryer’s air outlet or air vent. If these holes become blocked, the appliance’s safety thermal
cut-off automatically switches off the dryer. After the appliance has cooled down, it comes on again
automatically. This may take a few minutes.
•
There is a grille over the dryer’s air vent to prevent hair from being sucked into or tangled up in it. Ensure your
hair is kept away from the air vent during use. If the grille becomes clogged with lint, it must be unblocked
(e.g. by using a vacuum cleaner brush), otherwise the dryer may overheat causing the thermal cut-off to
switch off the appliance.
•
Never use the appliance with its power cable damaged, if operation is erratic or it is otherwise damaged.
In these cases take the appliance to an authorised service engineer for checking, repair or adjustment. Only
skilled experts in the service station are authorised to repair the appliance.
•
Warning! Disassembling the appliance, opening the casing or attempting to repair it at home are forbidden
- non compliance with this instruction might result in serious accidents. The inside of the appliance does not
contain any parts that can be repaired at home or used for any other purpose. Never use the appliance with
damaged power cable or connector, if operation is erratic or if it was dropped and is otherwise damaged. If
the appliance has become faulty for any reason or moisture has got inside the casing, take it to an authorised
service engineer for checking or repair. Only skilled experts are authorised to repair the appliance. The
manufacturer is not liable for damages if home repair has been attempted or the instructions in the operating
manual have not been complied with.
Dear Customer,
All electrical and mechanical equipment needs to be cared for appropriately. It’s important to
note that using or storing the appliance in certain conditions may adversely affect its lifespan and
functionality. Always protect the appliance from the conditions listed below.
Using or storing the appliance in a wet, humid or damp environment can cause:
- deterioration and premature aging of the cover and electric insulation of the appliance,
- premature wearing and aging of the plastic and rubber components,
- rust and corrosion affecting electrical components and metal parts.
If any air holes or vents become covered in dust or clogged with dust or hair, and they are not
cleaned, this could cause:
- premature wear and tear of revolving, moving parts.
- electrical overload and/or overheating.
- the thermal cut-off to switch off the appliance due to overheating caused by insufficient
ventilation.
- increased noise emission.
Warning! If lint is not cleaned off, it may come into contact with the appliance’s heating element
and could catch fire, representing an accident and fire hazard.
