Cleaning the appliance and accessories
Clean the appliance and the accessories with a damp cloth, when necessary. Do not
use solvents or other aggressive or abrasive detergents. Otherwise, the surface could be
damaged. Check the intake opening of the appliance regularly and remove all hair and dust.
Note: the more dust is present in the place where the hair dryer is used, the more often the
filter duct must be cleaned.
DISPOSAL
Pursuant to Art. 26 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 49 of 14 March 2014 “Implementation of
Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)”, the crossed bin
symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product must be disposed of
separately from other waste at the end of its useful life. The user must therefore take the
appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively,
instead of handling the disposal, the appliance can be handed over to the retailer when a new,
equivalent appliance is purchased. Retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at
least 400 m2 can also be handed electronic products that are to be disposed of measuring less
than 25 cm, free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the
subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes
treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the
environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance
consists of.
ASSISTANCE AND WARRANTY
The appliance is guaranteed for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase. Evidence
shall be taken as the date indicated on the receipt/invoice (provided it is legible), unless the
buyer can prove that the delivery occurred later. In the case of a defect in the product which
existed prior to the date of delivery, IMETEC guarantees to repair or replace the appliance
at no cost, unless one of the two solutions is disproportionate to the other. The buyer has
the obligation to notify an IMETEC Service Centre of the non-conformity within two months
from discovering the defect.
The warranty does not cover any part that may be defective due to:
a. Damage from transport or accidental drops,
b. Incorrect installation or inadequate electrical system,
c. Repairs or alterations made by unauthorised personnel,
d. Poor or incorrect maintenance and cleaning,
e. Product and/or product parts subject to wear and/or consumables,
f. Failure to comply with the appliance’s operating instructions, negligent or careless use.
The list above is purely indicative and not exhaustive and in any case, this warranty shall
not cover all circumstances that cannot be attributed to manufacturing defects of the
appliance. In addition, the warranty does not cover any case of improper use of the appliance
and professional use. IMETEC declines all responsibility for any damage that may directly or
indirectly be caused to persons, property and animals as a result of failure to comply with the
instructions provided in the Instructions and Warnings Manual regarding appliance installation,
use and maintenance. This is without prejudice to any contractual warranty claims against the
seller.
Methods of support
Appliance repairs must be carried out by an IMETEC Service Centre. If the faulty appliance is
under warranty, it must be sent to the Service Centre together with a fiscal document that can
confirm the date of sale or delivery.
