• If the device is used in a bathroom, the plug must be pulled out
after use, as the proximity of water represents a hazard, even when
the device is switched off.
DANGER of electric shock
• Do not operate the device if it or the cable shows visible
signs of damage or if the device has been dropped.
• Only connect the mains plug to a properly installed socket,
which is easily accessible and supplies voltage matching
the rating plate. The socket must still be easily accessible
after connection.
• Ensure that the cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot
surfaces. Do not wrap the cable around the device (cable break
danger!).
• Make sure the cable is not trapped or crushed.
• Always pull on the plug and never on the cable when removing
the device.
• Remove the mains plug from the socket, ...
… after each use,
… if a fault occurs,
… when you are not using the device,
… before cleaning the device and
… during thunderstorms.
• Never attempt to remove dust or foreign bodies from inside the
device using pointed objects (e.g. a tail comb).
• To avoid any risk, do not make any changes to the device or acces-
sories. Do not replace the cable yourself either. Repairs must only
be carried out by a specialised company.
DANGER - Fire hazard
• Never leave the device unattended while plugged in.
• Never cover the device or place it on soft objects
(e.g. bath towels).
• Ensure that the air inlet and air outlet are always free. Keep
the air inlet free from long hair or objects that could get
sucked into it.
• This device has an overheating protection system.
In the event of overheating, e.g. if the air inlet or air outlet is
covered, the device switches itself off automatically. If this occurs,
set the on/off switch to
0
(off), pull out the plug from the mains
socket, and allow the device to cool adequately. Before switching
it back on, ensure that there are no hairs or foreign bodies blocking
the air inlet.
• Do not switch on the device at the same time as another device
with high power consumption plugged in to the same multiple
socket.
• Do not use an extension cable.
DANGER of burns
• Do not direct the hot air flow at eyes, hands or other parts
of the body that are sensitive to heat.
• Do not touch the hot surface of the device.
• Allow the device to cool down completely before you clean it or
put it away.
WARNING! Risk of injury
• Place the cable in such a way that no one trips over it or
steps on it!
